On ...Hi, Ruthie, as usual another fun scoopmurphy. On a serious note, I appreciated your note about Katie's brother. Also, I loved your tribute to your dad. That was precious. I'm working on my history project-my mom-in-law's life story. Kinda of a 1930's "Story of Ruth (Aaron)" - life in small town Iowa during the depression. Low n' behold, as I work on this, come to find out that Ruth's story has already been (sorta) told in a NY Times bestseller out now called "Little Heathens" - you'd love it. History of everyday comins n' goins dahn on the farm - from the washboard's point of view. Well, I'm out looking up historical markers for you here in Sacramento so I'll be ready when ya come to visit us. Love you, hon.<BR/>PS. Loved your bit on the "Supermom"-that story is just frying everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7993207840952936708.post-42176904699259266102009-02-23T15:54:00.000-05:002009-02-23T15:54:00.000-05:00I love your blog!

Those drills where we now accumulate on the gym floor with 500 frightened snot nosed children really isn't the way I want to die. I'd rather whither away in my own bed or on my couch.

We had to prove it by taking pictures of Devin in front of the markers. I was ready to kill someone. Thank God I had just learned to drive. <BR/>How in the hell did they think he would do this if none of the parents drove????<BR/>It took us about 3 hrs each night.<BR/>Allegheny was easy. Three were within a few blocks from our house. You know the first gas station in the country marker is right around the corner on Baum. We also used the wooden street off Ellsworth and the last one was the site of the railroad riots or something on 29th street.<BR/>The other counties took some roaming around. I think we used Economy Village in Beaver.<BR/><BR/>Lastly, if you need a fallout shelter in our nations capital, you do know there is one under "The Madonna's" back porch. I swear it is. Just in case you can't get all the way back up to Arsenal School in the Burg.Eileen, Founder, Organizer, Mayor and Chief Cook And Bottle Washer of the Anger Management Girls.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05719417162705603598noreply@blogger.com
