Would you travel on a ship that looked as rickety as this?
Horray! I'm looking forward to this month! It will be great to get back to the normal schedule (I love the stories, but I also love to learn facts, especially those facts that are asked in trivia games that no one else knows! I like to play "Origins" with a sibling, but I generally win. I love the stuff you can learn about the past!).
ReplyDeleteI also love family trees (I need to get all mine figured out), and enjoy hearing how early settlers in North America survived. Their lives were much different than ours are!). However, Canada and America are different in their settlers. I think that the USA was more family-settled. Canada was trappers, fishers, and lumber jacks in its early days! Also, a lot of French. Actually, the European government (I forget exactly if it was the French or English rule) forced men to marry if they wanted to work in Canada for a time. Women (some were really only girls) were paid to come to Canada and marry. WOW!!! That takes guts, and courage...grit, spunk, and strength! It was not an easy life.
Well, I'd better stop this jabbering and go!
God bless!
I'll be around for more soon!
;D
I feel like I am just writing for the fun of it. Of course, I am!
I'll go now...................
