Morning all!

Still looking for LF Brahmas...Didn't get an answer to my email last week. I thought there was a guy with some near Marinette/Crivitz? Anyone know who he is?

I have another question...Accidentally planted a bunch of hot peppers this spring (Tex-Mex). Can I feed the peppers/seeds to my 5 week old chicks. They have been eating all kinds of other scraps from the garden already but I don't know if the hot seeds would harm them.

Took a break from canning this week...gave away the last picking of pickles. Froze broccoli and will process the few tomatoes I saved from the blight.
A very happy note....the Setter is calming down around the birds. Trying to stay consistent in his retraining...a long way to go yet but I'm finally seeing some improvement!

Get a baby chick and stick it under her at night

I tried this and she killed the chick, and was pecking the other one so I took it away from her, and she sat 2 more weeks and then just gave it up. I have another 1 now tho silly BSL missing half her feathers, she used em to line the nest over the nest pad...............

BTW Good cloudy morning to ya'all, It's been sprinkling here on and off since 5:30 am, had a good boomer go over yesterday afternoon, lots of thunder/ wind/ and brief heavy rain, the garden said OH Yahhhh

Good Morning All! At 12:45 AM was wondering if we were heading for the crawl space.

WOW high winds, thunder, lightening, hail, AND rain. Was surprised to see only a long dead pine laying in the yard and few branches. Got up for awhile and watched and listened. What a show! Got over a half inch of rain. Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BIGZ AND JUDGES DH!!!!!! judge hope you had a good evening without the chillins! And I already know Bigz had a great meal too! Jim I think Bf4me sets us up with her comments. cs your right there will be more perfect homes in the future. Well I now have 2 broodies. What fun for me! Not so much for them.

Any saddle gurus on here? I picked up this old Circle Y yesterday. It was made in Shiner, TX. I cannot find any numbers on it other than a 1400 stamped into the tree. It's been used and abused but seems solid and very comfy. I'm just wondering how old it really is. The stirrups have the same tooling on them. I bet when it was new it was gorgeous.

Hi Everyone,

I hope I don't bother any one with this post and I know this is a long shot. It is something along the lines of when I told an someone that my husband is English and they responded by saying, "I know someone that lives in England. (name) does he know them?

My dad was born in Wisconsin and I am trying to trace our family tree for our kiddos. Quite a few of my extended family lived/lives in Crawford County. I am currently tracing the Salmon/Wallace side.

Two of my great grandparents were Martha "Bessie" Wallace and Charles Salmon. Both Charles and Martha were born in Wisconsin (1877?). They had 9 children, including my grandparent, all born in Wisconsin.

I have Charles' parents as Cutler Salmon (born: Indiana) and Rebecca Briggs (born: Wisconsin). According to my notes they had, including Charles, 4 children all born in Wisconsin.

I have Martha's parents as Isaac Wallace (born: Indiana) and Martha Turnmire (born: Indiana). According to my notes they had 13 children and I believe they were all born in Wisconsin.

I have Rebecca Briggs parents as Andrew Briggs (born: PA) and Mary Ann Taylor Everson (born: ?).

According to my notes, Andrew Briggs was married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth Burris (born: PA) They had 10 children. The youngest two were born in Wisconsin. His second wife, Rebecca's mother, was as stated above Mary Ann Taylor Everson. According to my notes they had, including Rebecca, 9 children all born in Wisconsin.

If anyone from my family tree has any information, corrections, family stories and or photo please feel free to share. I especially welcome corrections as I have found on the net that one extended family member has listed my dad as having died when he's still alive and kicking.

Thanks in advance.

Did any of these Wallace's wear kilts?

If so you might find some info here

Oh No... I think Doc is figuring out my secrets. Have you been peeping in windows like Tomski?

Yesterday was eventful. I don't think I'll give you the blow by blow ( ) but the basics. The 8 yr old decided to run away. I decided to let him give it a go (for about 10 min). He packed a suitcase and was going to walk to town to his grandparents. The other boys were giving me updates on his progress up the road. I was unconcerned until they said a car pulled over to talk to him. (turned out to be great uncle Romie). At that point I went to get him. Then a grey truck is driving real slow down the road. This passerby called 911 because of the appearance of a possible child enticement or abduction ready to occur (when 8 yr old was talking to great uncle). The grey truck pulled into my driveway right after me looking for my child. I have to give my address to the 911 operator. I only avoided an officer visit by calling the 8 yr olds godfather, who happens to be a sheriff with Dane Co. Officer Dosher might be stopping by today though to talk to the 8yr old about the foolishness and seriousness of the running away phase he's in. (This is at least the third time this summer I've heard he's running away:rolleyes )

So who wants to trade places with me for a day?

I don't think it has ever even occured to my 9 yr. old to run away. But I remember moving into the lilac bushes when I was 9 yrs old because I wanted my mom to think I ran away. She found me. Then when I was 16 my parents took my car away for one night because they were sick of me running all over at all hours of the night. I threw my blanket and pillow out the second story window and somehow got down and walked down the road to sleep in a field. I figured they would see me missing in the morning and panic. And that would teach them. The only problem was a herd of deer walked up on me sleeping in the feild and started snorting at me. I thought it was a badger or something. I counted to 3 and jumped up to make a run for it. There was a doe right in my face! I tried to scream at her and scare her but it didn't work. And one of the others was snorting and, I swear, chasing me. I ripped my blanket on a barb wire fence trying to get away from them! So all that came out of that incident was getting laughed at by my whole family when I came rushing in the house with my ripped blanket terrified of deer.

LOL! That would have made my family laugh at me too! I hope you've gotten over your deer fear
