I love Oregan Trail Park, too. The last two times we were there, the boys skipped rocks at the lake for what seemed like hours. This post made me laugh…I’m reading Wuthering Heights right now.

I love this place. I’m always more than willing to take a hike there but every time I suggest it my girls run the other way. What’s wrong with them?

Brilliant post. I needed a little moor this morn. Love the forboding manor, back to reality :O

On this busy day I will daydream about reading a Jane Austen book.

My now-husband, then-boyfriend drug me up that hill to propose marriage. I should have booted his bottom over the edge for making me hike up that path. I was all out of breath and sweaty and then he wants to get all romantic…geez!!! I forgave him though after he asked me to be his wife! Thanks for the visual reminder of our past!

As it did Jenni in KS, this post made me want to drag out the Bronte! I think though that I’ll wait until the weekend when it’s supposed to be cold and blustry (or wuthering) again.

for your Oregon trail is no match for the forlorn moor, nor is the clear blue sky any substitute for ominous clouds rolling in leaving a heroine to face drenching rain and then the ague !!! What then does the brooding hero do with no feverish maiden upstairs, no doctor to be ridden furiously out the interminable driveway for?
Back into the minivan with thee !!!!

Ah. Now I know what I need to cure my sourness- tweeden raiment, a craggy moor, stinging wind and a looming manor…

I’m gonna get right on it!

Thanks for the laugh. :-)

Martha – Yes! Perfect name for a band. And Yes to the chauffer getting more Chester chicken!

Hah! I took a detour in the shadowy central hall of the formidable manor. The maid, ashen of face and unfeeling, led me to the library where I discovered the master, sunken into a chair. Dust was settled on every surface, cobwebs clogged the room. The hearth was cold, clearly unlit for a fortnight (however long that is). The master smiled, showing yellowed teeth in need of dental care, and said “I can offer you tea, but I fear it’s gone cold.”

And I turned sharply on my heels, yelled for the maid to come light the master’s fire and bring a dustrag while she was at it. I roused the chauffer from his drunken stupor and sent him out for some Chester Chicken. All the while noting to myself to call first next time and not simply drop in unannounced.

Anyway, yesterday was a wonderful day for a walk and that looks fun! I’m going to have to Google the Oregon Trail park, as I’d like to see it next trip west. It looks like the walk cheered up the Sullen Brothers. (Wouldn’t that be a good name for a band?)
