All them calves running around without a brand on them and all he wanted to was make sure they knew they were wanted, like Sam was. |

One of my ex-husband's (and thus my son's) ancestors, Mary Dyer, was hung on the Boston Common during colonial times. The Puritans didn't like her trying to spread her Quaker beliefs. They kept kicking her out of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but she kept coming back and preaching. The powers-that-were decided to silence her forever. They'd be surprised to know that there is now a statue of her on the grounds of the Massachusetts State House. Here's a photo. http://www.flickr.com/photos/wallyg/489050634/ |
