I don’t have a lot of time this morning; it’s a travel day for me, and I must get an early start. I did want to leave you with this, one of my favorite “cooking” strips. Readers don’t have to wonder where I got this idea!

Finally found “The Journal of Kate Stone” which is probably not available, as it was published in 1955 by the LSU Press, Library of Congress #557363.
It recounts her diary from her plantation home in Louisiana to their refuge escape to East Texas and then back to Louisiana. She married a Holmes, connection to our family.
There have been a LOT of Civil War diaries from women published since that one! Women seemed to have been good a recording “life” during war time.

Not only did we tour it but Mr. Snow and I made friends and sat on his porch while he told me the story of their rescue of the house and restoration. Now does that surprise you, Ghost? I bet not.
It was very sad because the house needed painting badly and he told me all about the EPA and the cost of removing the old lead based paints. They just did not have the money to repaint her despite her being one of the most historic homes in America. He had grown old and was unable to get around well but was a thoroughly charming and enchanting story teller.
My husband and family had to drag me away.

Good morning Villagers….
…and a good day to you Jackie, clicked on your article and bookmarked it to continue reading. I like the idea of sailing for cancer as ‘it’ has wrapped it’s tentacles around several members of my family….including my paternal Grandfather and Grandmother. All of my Grandfather’s siblings lost their battles to cancer.
