We're about half dug out now. πŸ˜„ We called someone to come plow it for us but he apparently bit off more than he could chew today, so he didn't get here till about 3 this afternoon and didn't even finish yet. He's supposed to come back this evening sometime...

πŸ˜‚ He finally finished a little while ago. I'm not too please because he charged $30 more than another company we've used before would have charged...and they would have been here much sooner too! πŸ™„

Lily Rose Dorothea | 1454 comments It sounds like something Twain would say...but I'm not sure about the book.

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well and had

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments Recap:
The next quiz:
This N.E.L. author referred to a specific book
as "chloroform in print",
who is the author?
and what was the book?

Pammy- knows the answer, but has yet to say.
Dorothy- Mark Twain, but not sure about the book.
Meg- She knows that Pammy knows.
Emma- Emma, Emma. Wherefore art thou, Emma?
Allyson- May pop in to say "Hi ya'll!"

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments Dear, sweet Emma!πŸ€—πŸ’•
Good! I'm so pleased you are well.
I am too, thankfully!
You've been so quiet. Are you taking
a break from Dorothy's chatter?

I'm glad! πŸ’—
Taking a break from her chatter?! I'd die without my dear friend's chatter!! 🀣 I enjoy it every single day. I've just not been much in the mood to comment for some reason. πŸ˜‚


message 13623: by Ruth (new)

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments I understand that.
Sometimes I just need to be
"quiet", how about you?

Yeah, sometimes being silent is refreshing. πŸ˜‚πŸ€—


message 13625: by Ruth (new)

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments I can certainly appreciate that.❀


message 13626: by Ruth (new)

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments The answer to the quiz:

β€ŽMark Twain once derided the
Book of Mormon as "chloroform in print."

The quiz is open to whomever wishes to
go next.


message 13627: by Pamela (new)

Pamela | 2209 comments I think Dorothy should ask the next question. She did get Twain correct.

When Twain visited Salt Lake City, he met Brigham Young and learned a little about the Mormons. He was not impressed and he thought all Mormons should be removed from the U.S.. Did you know, prior to the Civil War, the U.S. Government did send the army to Utah in an attempt to break up the Mormon Church and settlement? General John F. Reynolds was among those sent to Utah. During the Civil War, he said that fighting the Mormons was worse than the Confederates, as the Mormons were the most inhumane and barbaric group he had ever encountered. Just a short history lesson from Teacher Pammy.
