I lo...Thanks very much Barbara - and welcome back! <br />I love that quotation too. Bizarrely, we hit a heatwave on my visit there - in April. More humid than hellish, that one...Nigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314891387515045404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-34773006229120922902013-08-19T12:41:20.938+01:002013-08-19T12:41:20.938+01:00A lovely tribute to Willa Cather; I will checkout ...A lovely tribute to Willa Cather; I will checkout that book. I know of her writings of pioneer life in the prairies and sensual descriptions of grasses. In another, in a series, of coincidences, I dip into (after a long hiatus) your very good blog and find a Nebraska link. <br /><br />I've just completed Volume I of Nebraska By Dummies: A Definitively-Incomplete Compilation of Conjecture, Misinformation and Enlightenment About the Factual Blur That Is: Nebraska. I've asked over 125 people what they know --nothing, pretty much. What an intriguing, beguiling state. We have planned a visit in September.<br /><br />Quebec City is gem. My favourite quote from the 18th century Quebec is during a heat wave: "There is but a sheet of brown paper twist this room and hell."<br /><br />Congratulations on the safe and miraculous delivery/event of your second grandchild. :)<br /><br />Barbara Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05463074148195784152noreply@blogger.com
