A nice resting Saturday
I am actually enjoying a lazy day this Saturday. I was able to play in the pool with the kids and Kel's dad. We played a tournament of chicken. Basically, one kid on each of our shoulders and they wrestle to pull each other off. I have a blast playing it (as the kids do). However, my shoulders and neck are now sore and tired. LOL
We live near Backbone mountain and I keep driving by a "historical marker" when I head into Poteau. I finally caught the monuments words today. It's a marker dedicated to the battle of backbone mountain. I am nearly finished with my reading of 1863 The Rebirth of a Nation by Joseph E. Stevens. The book is written as a narative, yet the timeline is factual. I found it totally fascinating. It covers month by month, broken in 3 segments of the last year of the Civil War. Ever since I read Politically Incorrect - American History, I have grown fascinated with the Civil War. I have Team of Rivals and "Civil War Curiosities" to read next.
I'm off to enjoy the rest of my day.
