@Finnie ,
Could you use your 100th post to tell us something about your little piece of heaven? (Could be a DM
)
I am wondering if you know something about Morgan County and about the countryside near Trafalgar, Indiana. A direct part of my ancestors were the first European settlers in that Trafalgar part of Indiana. Some of them moved on to Morgan County before a short stay in Missouri and gearing up for their move west. I don't think that I have asked you about this before but I have only recently learned about Morgan and learning that some of those folks were Morgans themselves.

@Finnie so glad that you joined the collies / doggies posts. Beautiful dogs.
I can see that they had a wonderful home and so well cared for and loved. They are the highlight of our lives in so many ways I lost count.
Thank you for sharing .

and that also made me smile this morning...
Snoopy was always one of my heroes and i had a stuffed Snoopy dog animal as a kid which rarely left my side, along with a binkie that i also kept close watch on. this was a time before i knew anything about Peanuts or Snoopy or Linus and the binkies... we were kindred spirits Linus and i and didn't know it until many years later. Mom would take my binkie and use it for her ironing and i would sit under the ironing board and hold onto the corner of my binkie and feel it. i still have my binkies.
my stuffed animal companions i also have some here but i don't hold on to them any more... at least not very often...

My old guy had a little walk and a little play with what was a ball. Even though it is completely battered, he wouldn't give it to me to throw away.
Time is precious for us now, every day and every tiny bit of happiness for him counts.

I'm sure that @flowerbug won't mind me saying so — it's wonderful that you can share memories of these experiences with your mother.
A mother who ironed blankets!
I was telling DD again yesterday about the one room schoolhouse I visited with her grandmother and had shared a picture. Mom and I visited the daughter of the people who owned the property where the school was located and who provided room and board for the teacher of the kids in the neighborhood.
Recently, I remembered that lady's mother's name and, yes, there was some historical information on the internet about her and her continuing interest in helping kids gain an education. All that was nearly 100 years ago, at the time of the Great Depression.
