A Seminole Indian Burial Mound

The other day, I was videotaping in Seminole County (Florida) when I stumbled upon this sign at a secluded spot near Lake Monroe. I climbed the old steps and looked around. Then, I realized I was standing on the graves of long dead Seminole Indians. I paid my respects and skedaddled.

Although, not the most exciting thing I've ever encountered, it is a piece of American history and I have the utmost respect for that.

    Ah that is sweet! We had a dog once that gave birth in my bedroom, 7 puppies. I woke up, saw it, fell asleep and she got some more. But not in my bed. That must have been a sweet experience. Except for the mess, well cats are rather clean mothers. We also always had cats and dogs. And chickens, but in 1961 they all went in the soup, as my mother was afraid for their faith, should there be an atomic war. We got a leaflet what to do in case, you know, hide under a table and such. I think those chickens were the victims of cold war.

    Very interesting story, Ina. It's amazing what animals remember. My parents almost always had a dog while we were growing up. Cats, too. One time, I woke up and our cat was having kittens right next to me in bed. She must have thought it was a very safe place. I guess that was long before I started snoring. Actually, I don't do that much anymore, since I lost weight.

    We got a sheperd when I was 3, a 'Mechelse herder', yellow. It was an abused police dog that was supposed to be dangerous, so my mother took it in for safety reasons  The first time we saw it, my friend and I just jumped right on top of the dog called Stormwyn and he never minded. It was a very nice dog, it would let our kitten look into his mouth, pull the sleigh and such.

    The police wanted to borrow it later for search of missing people. Problem was he got nasty at policemen and postmen, who at the time wore about the same uniforms. And when my father got home, he was terrified of it. He couldnot eat a cookie withouth the dog growling at him. And my father already was a very skinny man, a flagpole

    I love dogs, but I don't have the time or patience to care for one. They need so much attention. My older brother and younger sister both have dogs. That's enough for me.

    The tangerines were stolen once before, about 5 years ago. Right next to the tangerine tree is a lemon tree. Funny, no one ever steals them.

    You should get a watch dog!  Something with teeth.  BHO got one and it is getting Whitehousebroken, so why shouldnot you.  Well, a nice Golden Retriever with a bad attitude towards thiefs might do it.  You don't want to have a dog that frightens its owner to pieces.

    Your own tangerines, that sounds nice. We have one apple tree and we are very proud to get about 7 (sour) apples a year if the blackbirds don't get them first, which is ok. My father leased a piece of land in the dunes and he grew a raspberry - plant on my request, because I liked raspberries, and it grew very well. But lots of insects. Little wurms and such.

    Oh yes, all sorts of citrus fruit. Oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, you name it. There are thousands of groves throughout the state. I got plenty of tangerines off one in my backyard until somebody sneaked in at night and stole the rest, a couple of weeks ago. True story.

    We have bananas, too, and my brother has a couple of trees, but they aren't as big as the kind you buy in stores. They can be just as good, though. Plantains, too. Look that one up. Florida is a subtropical region. Lots of palm trees. Alligators and snakes.

    So you have orangetrees in Florida? I never knew that.  Banana's too? Growing wild?

    Oh, I see it now. Yes, that was probably an orange. I didn't see it at first and I didn't notice it when I was there.

    No, here in Florida, they are known as 'orange things.'

    Actually, I think it's just the sun reflecting off dead leaves.

    It is a Growing, Glowing, Balder Border.

    Yes, Debbie is very fortunate, but so are we for having the opportunity to meet her here on Glowing Border.

    It could be quite ideal. Now at least one of them ought to be good with tools and such, to benefit most from the situation. Someone who can fix things. And the man who speaks the unknown language for other stuff, as he happens to be in bed already.

    Debbie is really very fortunate!

    Yes, she could be married to two men at the same time, but the other guy doesn't know it.

    But if he is a reincarnation...  and still your husband as well, you actually  are married with 2 men at the same time?

    Ina...
    When he's conscious, my husband only speaks English.  I know a little French, and my grandparents spoke French.  That's not what my husband is speaking, nor is it Spanish.  It really sounds like an Indian language.  One of these days I'll try to get it on tape.  The problem is, you never know when it's going to happen.  Episodes are usually few and far between.

    Debbie, isn't it French? That is more like a bedroom language

    If I ask the 103 year old anything, he will answer that yes he wants coffee. But you are very right.  Oatmeal is healthy. I just won't eat it.

    They didnot have as many clothes to wash though, they only washed on mondays. My mother didnot have a machine, she did her washing in a big pan on a petroleum fire.

    Skedaddling to my diner

    Oh, Debbie! I'd worry about getting scalped in your sleep some night if I were you.
