OH NO!!! My lawn is too green. They will know I have been watering it despite the drought! I had a good balance of brown and green going for a while, but with the foggy weather it turned full green. My next door neighbor’s lawn is completely dead, so I look like a jerk. My mother hates Costco with a passion (Stay with me for a second I am on the same subject), and when she spots something of mine she likes and asks me where I got it, she goes nuts when I tell her I got it from Costco. Costco has fake grass right now. I am thinking it that will not only solve the guilt issues I have with the water, but I would also get a good giggle out of telling my mom the lawn is from her favorite store. WIN WIN!!

Letters of Long Ago
Agnes Just Reid
Genre: History
FREE for a limited time
One of her most embarrassing times was the day she set out to drown the children. The dust cloud kicked up by–she was certain–Nez Perce warriors, turned out to be the signature of her husband’s horse’s hooves. When he found his family on the banks of the Blackfoot River, preparing for an eternal swim, Nels was understandably upset.
Most women of her era would have kept this episode of paranoia to themselves. They most certainly would have kept it from their children. Because Emma candidly shared her stories with her daughter, we now have a better understanding of what life was like in Idaho Territory, not just on the windswept plains, but in the heart of a woman.
Divorced from a scoundrel who she, never-the-less, still loved and with an infant boy to raise, Emma’s situation seemed hopeless. Then along came a young Dane named Nels. He did not offer much: living in a hole in a river bank with a buffalo robe for a door. Still, it seemed a chance worth taking.
And so their story began with a marriage of convenience, if not desperation. Emma followed her new husband to a secluded valley along the Blackfoot River in 1870 where she would raise sons and bury daughters. Nels would go on to be a leading figure in Idaho, a canal builder, a banker and a farmer. Emma would be a mother to four boys and, at last, one girl. She would be the star witness in a sensational trial about a religious war that echoes eerily today in incidents like Waco and Jonestown. Mostly she was a proud, brave woman who survived lonely, heartbreaking years before civilization crept into the West.
Emma told her story to daughter Agnes, who set it down as a series of letters, each of which Emma approved as it came out of the typewriter. The resulting book was first published in 1923. It was on the press the day Emma died.
Letters of Long ago is a haunting, often heart-breaking book you will not soon forget.
