Welcome, Friends!
Vote For A Holiday Long Overdue!

ingredient in the 'melting pot' which we call
The United States Of America.
This national holiday in their honor is
long overdue."-"K.C.A.T."

You know, with all the pointless, tasteless and useless pages which
After becoming enamored with learning the Tsalagi (Cherokee) Language,
appear on the strands of the world wide 'cob'web, I thought to myself,
"Self, you can make an equally useless addition of your own, and also
call it 'home', besides" So, that's exactly what I set out to do...
I've run across many phrases in which the literal English translation
has somehow struck me as quite humorous.
As a result of desperation for website material, I decided to include some
of these, which you, the reader,
may or may not find interesting.
If not...
Well, move on down the road...as there's lots more to see at the end
of yet another 'virtual' trail.

I could go on and on,
but, perhaps I'll save it for another day.
I do hope you were able to
enjoy these tidbits of trivia.
Drop by again sometime and
I'll put on a pot of coffee,
and you're welcome to
pull up a seat and join
me for a cup.
I'll introduce you to Rick, or perhaps
one of our seven children...
or maybe you'll even get to meet my
Mom, Patricia!
