Well, I didn't see much of my parents whilst I was growing up..... I was taught by my nanny to walk with a book on my head for posture, sit and cross my legs properly, sit side-saddle on the pony, ballet, piano... that kind of thing.

It was really hard work, I can tell you!! doh

Keep your powder dry.

Pack you're powder firmly..

Make sure the musket ball is seated.

Take careful aim..

Properly field dress all game.

Life sure was more simple in the 19th century. sigh

Well, off to chop more wood.wink

I had to go about 20 miles to school each day in a blizzard!! Admittedly it was on a bus...... it was in a place called Prince George (north of Vancouver), way up in the Rockie Mountains, I was about six years old!!

Wow....

Five things:


Tell The Truth

Work Hard And Then Work Harder

Remember Who You Are

Treat Others As You Would Want To Be Treated

Give What You Can


Why? Because it's the right thing to do.....

Thank you, my friend. How very gracious of you... at last someone with gentlemanly manners, and one who just doesn't CLAIM to be interested when they evidently are not!!

Of course, I will be happy to tell you about some of my wild adventures. You are a gent, kind sir!!! hug kiss

blushing NAW!!!!!!!! blushing No claims of a gent here, just honest, but thank you anyway..wave

Lived just out of Denver for 2 years (Longmont), office was in Denver. On weekends I was not racing, some friends & I would climb on our scooters and tour the Rockies. One of my favorite rides was apong the old U.S. 6 highway, across the Continnental Divide.

Fun place, but way to cold for these old bones anymore..
