The women did a lot of cooking for those hungry men and they ate in shifts. Lots of water was handed out to all of the men. Everyone worked, except for the youngsters. Smile.<BR/><BR/>I remember climbing the hedge trees when I was a kid. I actually hated the country because of all the dust (we lived on a dirt road). I remember the tree branches outside my bedroom sometimes scratched the house, and I would see shadows on the wall, and I would think the boogie man was coming after me. lol<BR/><BR/>I was always afraid to walk down that road after dark. I would hear sounds, and I would constantly look over my shoulder, and as soon as I got close to our house I ran for it. Grin. <BR/><BR/>Oh, something else just came to mind. We had coyote hunts, where the dogs were brought in, hunters with guns and a helicopter. Coyotes were so prevalent back then and they got into the chicken houses, packs brought down cows, and attacked dogs. Really scary. The women cooked again for everyone. lolSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262683133067234581.post-15134953391951934672009-03-13T11:36:00.000-04:002009-03-13T11:36:00.000-04:00grats danielle... and thx cindy :)grats danielle... and thx cindy :)laughingwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873675614347328116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262683133067234581.post-66130355664673546262009-03-13T06:35:00.000-04:002009-03-13T06:35:00.000-04:00Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday for my r...Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday for my roast!

It is my training after all.<BR/>In this story, one of the things I researched was pistols. My hero brandishes two different brands of guns--one his and one another's. So, I not only needed to understand each pistol but what the differences were between the two. During the Civil War here in the States, the varieties of pistols, revolvers, etc.. used especially in the Union troops were the Colt Army Model 1860 and the Remington 1958 Army Revolver. So those were the two I used.Cindy K.

It was neat because it was for celebrating the new bride and groom and their house. The neighbors went when the young couple wouldn't expect it and made all kinds of racket in their yard with banging pans, beeping horns, and etc. Then we went on a hay ride (I grew up in a farming community.) After that we went back to the couple's house and had something to eat.Diane Craverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543155150824715253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262683133067234581.post-38942976749240983872009-03-12T12:17:00.000-04:002009-03-12T12:17:00.000-04:00Great Excerpt, Cindy.
