In keeping with my tradition of announcing the first Red Winged
Blackbirds of the year - usually in February or March - I announce
they are here. Both male and female and bluebirds, and large flocks of
crows, and whatever. Are they coming back early or did they never
leave? We have had no snow at all and less than a handful of cold days.
Today is cold but it will be in 50s again by the weekend. If last winter
was mild, I don't have a word for this one. |

Mollie has passed Roscoe in the Dog of the Month competition - Give
him a helping hand for our friend Alice STROUSE Ellingsberg. Voting until
the 29th. |
|
Hi,
I have a favor to ask. Would you please go
to the web site below and cast a vote for my friend Roscoe? It will only
take a minute and I would appreciate it very much.
This isn't a chain letter. I'm not asking
you to forward it to anyone - unless you have friends who love dogs who
might be willing to cast a vote.
 |
All you need to do is go to this site Click
here: Dog of the Month Club and cast your vote for Roscoe.
As most of you know, I work in Special Ed at Moorhead Senior High.
Roscoe is a canine co-worker of whom I am especially fond. He works
in the guidance office. His job is to lend emotional support and
comfort to students who need a friend. |
Roscoe is not on the payroll. He unselfishly volunteers
his time and services whenever he is needed. I cannot imagine any
candidate more worthy of being elected "Dog of the Month."
Won't you please take a moment to go to the "Dog
of the Month Club" web site, find his picture and cast your vote for Roscoe?
Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.
As Always,
Alice |

1856-1949 - Frost
- Walker letters from Wendell Evans - Still not complete but time frame
from 1857 through 1868 is done. Count absolutely zilch on all but
first page. If I do not see some usage soon, I will conclude that this
is not the kind of thing you are interested in and will abandon this project.
Is it time to give up and let the For Pay sites take over the whole process
of providing historical information to you? If I am going to spend my time
making this material available and ask others to help me, I need to see
it being used. There is a lot more to this site than the search engine
will ever find for you. A very discouraging response to this incredible
letter collection. |

Joyce's Winter Garden - This is where I go when I am tired

- a whole 3/4 inch of it. This is our biggest snow this season and the

We are nothing if not persistent. With the addition of
Chapter 23 of the Bradsby History
of Bradford County we bring to COMPLETION this 1300 page book we
started publishing on the site way back in 1999. Granted we have not worked
on it for a while, but I am trying to clean up some long outstanding unfinished
projects. Hip Hip Hooray on this one!! Some of you are not aware of the
many whole books included on the site. Just press the Books button in the
left sidebar of any What's New page. The Bradsby even has its own partition
in the Partitioned search engine below. Whoops, I just checked and it does
not - It will next time I reindex as will the Craft and the Heverlys. |

1868 Diary of Rosina Smith of Sullivan
Township - This is a very special presentation of a diary.
It is the first of twenty of Rosina's recorded years that will be published
here, and it is fully annotated with identification of the individuals
who were mentioined in it. It also includes many photos of those same people.
I am still working on it, but it is close to finished.
One of my committments for 2007 is to transcribe
and publish more of the many diaries I have here to be done. I'd like to
promise one a month, but we all know that when gardening season comes,
I am otherwise occupied. I will try for one a month EXCEPT during garden
season. Here is the first - the January diary. This level of identification
and illustration is the culmination of many years of studying this local
population and collecting information about them. I hope you will enjoy
it as much as I have. |

| Bailey has a bad injury on the back of his neck caused by an Advantage
application last November. The hair fell out and a circular burn is in
center. The damage did not show up until mid January. Anyway, he managed
after much determined stretching to get the scab off. In desperation I
bandaged it and wrapped him in this ace bandage so he can't scratch or
pull it again. He accepts it. What a good cat. |
