We pack up our two dogs, who are not nearly as portable as Jacs, and off we go. I'm another one in your husband's camp. I love looking back at history, wouldn't want to live it. I imagine that's what folks will say 100 years from now, if our Lord delays His coming. Browsing in antique shops, see old home tools and farm implements is a treat. My cowboys always named their horses to - with stalwart, courageous, and gallant names. In junior high school, I spent more time naming them than I did my characters. Hope to meet you on the road some time.Linda Farmer Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312511857601369355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-39334457111751283352013-02-22T01:30:51.368-05:002013-02-22T01:30:51.368-05:00Good morning, Ms. Carroll!!

So much so, I am burning a bit of midnight oil! Laughs. I happen to agree with you,.. there is something about pulling back the veil on history to when our country was beginning to form and take shape,... to go back into those frontier townes and to dig around for the stories of their citizens. Including those who were fearless and ventured by wagon + train to seek out a new future in a place they only dream possible. Such adventurous spirit and determination to make it, come what may! As I was lamenting a moment ago, its hard to pick my 'exact' favourite period of history to read about in fiction. Oh, sure, I have my yearnings to reside in either Victorian or Regency England, but the Old West, the Revolutionary War, the Jazz Age,.. oh my! How to choose!? If you've seen Midnight in Paris, you'll know just how difficult it is and how easily your caught up in another time period! :)<br /><br />I personally love road trips! Its the best way to see every slice of Americana as you wander towne to city, to byway to highway,... your destination might be known, but its the inbetween hours you spend getting there where all the fun lies!! :) :) <br /><br />Ooh I am wayy ahead of you! I knew I'd be a regular reader/commenter as soon as I pulled up this blog!! :) Cheers!!

My son said, "But Mom, if you lived back then, think of all the conveniences and modern stuff you'd be missing."<br />How could I miss them if I didn't know existed? But then I realize God knew what He was doing. <br />I love horses too, and I think it's quite funny that we have the same heroine on the covers of one of our books.Martha W.

Hi Jen...Thanks Vicki - great minds think alike : )<br />Hi Jenny - to tell the truth, I think the wagon train is more fun in my mind.

Jacs has us wrapped around his little paws and he knows it.<br />Hi Darlene - I saw some of your posts about your Golden Dreams.
