These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

    Very cool, thanks for posting this. You need to do a post once a week (maybe Thursdays) where you do "This day in History". I always learn so much when I read your blog. :) Hope you are having a good day and your week is better then last week.

    Caroline, I though it was interesting, too. It just happened to be part of an email I received, but I'm guessing I can find a site that has that kind of info. :)

    Queenie, I am, too. I don't always remember the facts, but deduction brings these little facts about of the cobwebs in the back of my mind. Whatever works!!
