All - I just want to take a moment to thank all of you very much for your support and friendship during this really crazy career transition that I'm going through right now.

Look, I'm aware that we don't technically "know" each other and this is just online stuff, but you guys have all been a great source of warmth as this has been going on.

I'm very glad to have gotten to "cyber" know you all, and thanks for urging me towards a Phil-less vacation, which I think I am going to book, within the next week. ;)

Yeah we did too. But the whole state found that once the little buggers are 'here' they don't leave. Everything was to be chipped after a deep frost when the trees were removed. The chips had to be so tiny, most machinery did chop it that small. Then those trucks go to the next sight to chop storm damage or another kind a tree and likely some of the bugs stayed with the hull of the truck. Town vacinated the healthy trees, it has slowed it down but but I can look at them and see what ones will be dead by spring, been a slow death of them all and we had a great deal of them.

Now we are seeing something happen to one variety of Maple Trees. Before all this it was the Dutch Elm. As our town replaces trees they are doing it differently. They are using so many different varieties so hopefully this will not happen again for the future generations, never loosing a huge percentage at once.

Smart idea. We have a person treat our trees a couple times a year.

Hi Bets, and also @ajrwdwgirl (who also expressed interest about the pow wow, when I first brought it up the other day), and anyone else, too, who might be interested.

This was an inter-tribal pow wow yesterday with a number of tribal nations including the Mic Macs from southern Canada and Aroostook, Maine, the Mashpee Wampanoags from the Cape, (MA), and others as well (I regret I didn't hear all the names announced, as we were not near enough to the speakers when we first got there).

We always enjoy the opening circle with the dancers and their colorful regalia. We watched for quite a while. Hubs took a few pix with his phone, but they're not great, and don't show how many people were there yesterday--a large crowd. Love the sound of the drummers and native singers, too. Along with all the above, they also had plenty of artisans displaying and selling their creations (we enjoy talking to them), story-telling for the children, and demonstrations on how to make a corn husk doll and also, an antler tip necklace.

Just a few pix below (wish we had more--there were so many dancers and we only had a few pictures of just a sampling of the larger, entire group):

Women dancers -- The woman in yellow had on a gorgeous yellow regalia--I wish the picture was clearer. The little girl on the far right was so cute, and the silver adornment on her colorful red regalia, really caught the sunlight when she was dancing. :)

Here's just a "few" of the male dancers; I wish that hubby took more pictures as the men also had some very ornate regalia.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I enjoy Native American chanting. It seems so soothing to me.

I too have managed to break some Corelle dishes, although I didn't try. I used to have a nice platter but as I went to put it in the cabinet from the dishwasher it slipped out of my hand and hit the counter just right and cracked in half. :( I would like to get some new dishes but the Corelle ones just keep going and going, and I can't justify buy new ones (I'd rather put my $$ into Disney trips).

Thanks for sharing the information and pictures about the Pow Wow. It sounds like it was fun. I have seen Native American clothes in museums and they are truly a work of art with the beading and attention to detail. It would be nice to see that actually in action.

I like that Correll is light weight. Doesn't get to heavy when you load it up with food!;)
