Then you can copy and paste the URLs into your settings or perhaps it's layout and there you are - Bob's your uncle!

Last even...The must be the weekend for remembering. Last evening I was thinking about my great aunt Veronica and all the wonderful times we had together when I was a child.<br /><br />In making my rounds today of all the blogs participating in the Thanksgiving Challenge, many people are recalling the past. BTW, I ♥ your little dog!<br /><br />I have a question. How in the world did you get on your sidebar those tiny videos of Simon's cat? I'd love to be able to do that on my cat blog. Thanks in advance for sharing...♥Mimi♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/02962332639467877386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-112531985362973302009-11-07T16:14:56.856+00:002009-11-07T16:14:56.856+00:00How often do we recall something from long ago and...How often do we recall something from long ago and wonder how and why we ever could have forgotten it? The verse came unbidden into my mind a couple of days ago and wouldn't leave so something had to be done! <br />It's marvellous that you can trace your heritage back so far. In my admittedly limited contact with Americans I have always been impressed by how much you know of your family history and what pride you take in it.jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-36072061956047381862009-11-07T15:46:20.467+00:002009-11-07T15:46:20.467+00:00Boy, was this a smack in the old memory bank! I h...Boy, was this a smack in the old memory bank! I hadn't thought of "Antigonish" in what seems like millennia, even though it was one of those poems I'd memorized in high school. I guess I was fond of it because my family first landed from Scotland in Nova Scotia and family lore has it that the original Macdonald who settled in Pugwash had a land grant from King James his ownself. When I visited in 1974, I had already forgotten the poem--but was agog at NS's incredible beauty: all of which comes back thanks to this post.<br /><br />I was also totally unaware that Mearns was a graduate of my alma mater (Penn), and now I have to look up his book, because it may very well prove helpful in igniting some fires under my students. I need to come back here more often!Owlfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373358232893937182noreply@blogger.com
