Anna and Abe were here a year ago, but he was recuperating from hernia surgery so they really didn't pay much attention to the foliage. This year they have paid more attention to Mississippi. Yesterday, they spent the whole day in the wonderful, downtown Mississippi museums. They left before 9:00am and arrived at home after 5:30. They had a wonderful time. They spent so much time with the carnage between the Spanish and the local people and the same type of carnage of the civil rights era of Mississippi that they were confused. It was interesting to see that people haven't changed a lot over the century, which is true. They lived in northern Alberta at that time and had no idea what was happening in Mississippi during that era. The whole thing was new to them.
We get a lot of rain in Mississippi as we do in Nova Scotia but not now in Ontario or Massachusetts. Life is dry in other places, but Mississippi is still green so they are enjoying the huge trees and the bushes. Like everything else, local people do not appreciate what they have, but Abe and Anna speak about it every time they come home.
What they came home with from both museums was, "Why were people so nasty?"
Love,
Ruth
