We'll never regret it; that's the up side. I'm glad you bought some porcupine quills to bring home--I would have too.<br /><br />I'm glad you relaxed with wine. And that you put your camera down for a spell. Any photos you would have have taken may have been uncentered, blurry and so on anyway. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your day. I know that putting together each and every blog post it quite a task. More time consuming than folks could imagine.

How on earth do you manage to accomplish all of this?<br /><br />Nine generations ago .. a French Huguenot by the name of Pierre Chastain .. escaped with his very life from his homeland in France and went to Switzerland. Pierre somehow then got to England and there boarded a ship (I think it was named .. the Mary and Ann) .. crossed the Atlantic ocean and arrived in the year 1700 on the eastern shores of the United States in what we now call Virgina. Each and every Chastain here in the United States has descended from Pierre. Until the year 1970-71 when I was living in Fresno California .. I had never heard of nor knew what a French Huguenot was .. and here nine generations later I am a direct descendant of one! They seem to have done some good things in the world since escaping with their lives from France. THANKS FOR MENTIONING THEM .. Smiles .. Cap .. <br /><br />Patti and I had a good giggle about your closing words .. too much wine maybe?

I had envisioned the animals but not the scenery. And an Ostrich steak...tender?...who would have ever guessed!! They are such lanky birds!!! Thanks for each and every installment!!!
