I was remembering that story while I was eating the watermelon so I typed it up here, the things we do as children. Ha.<br /><br />Hi Ms. Sparrow, thanks, I was thinking the same thing, they didn't have any air conditioning and the poke salad has to be cooked and cooked a long time to get the poison out, I remember the birds waited till the berries were really ripe before eating them.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, I probably would have eaten the whole thing but we were truly stuffed from the big meal.<br /><br />Hi Lori, thanks, glad you enjoyed the story, the things I haven't survived and can look back on wondering how I did it.<br /><br />Hi Patti, thanks, as I understand it this band of Cherokee left voluntarily even so they had to leave all they had built up behind and make a new life in a completely new area what hardships they endured, so I guess we can't or shouldn't complain now. I was so lucky, pure luck for sure.<br /><br />Hi Barbara, thanks, I just loved horses when I was a kid and I would beg to ride at parks or such if I ever had the chance but seldom did so they were a big draw for me. It was really pure luck that I survived that pass under those metal clothes line poles, glad I can tell the story now.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-33753127631578402692012-06-06T11:10:58.442-04:002012-06-06T11:10:58.442-04:00I really enjoyed your post.

We drove by a field of horese just the other day, and hubby was asking me about riding as a kid. I had a similar story as yours, but let's just say...I wasn't as good a beginning rider as you were. I later learned, through sheer will, but my first experience left me never wanting to try again.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500856043950615621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-44087643668411263392012-06-06T05:52:10.942-04:002012-06-06T05:52:10.942-04:00Loved this post.

The Trail of Tears is a horrible scar on our history.<br />The ride could have been tamer but would not have made near the memory nor story.

I'm thinking the watermelons were kept under the bed to keep them cool. I'm sure the horses must have loved them too. It seems like you were a very strong and independent little girl. I would have been terrified to sit on a horse, much less go on a ride at a full gallop! I clicked on the link for poke salad and wonder how the toxic weeds were prepared.Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-37215938171411514932012-06-05T10:09:33.617-04:002012-06-05T10:09:33.617-04:00Linda!
