RE: We English Could Learn A Thing Or Two From The Amish

in #culture6 years ago

haha! That is wonderful! I'm so happy about that. That's the way your weekends should be. And you were able to have enough time away from Steemit? If it was easy to step away then you aren't too addicted! lol.

Sort:  

The kids played Minecraft and did homework, my daughter in law cooked and my son watched car races and soccer, so I had occasional bits of time to check in! And now I have a cat to enjoy for the next two weeks before they come back again.

oh, they left you their cat to babysit? haha. If you want to babysit a pet then a cat is a great choice!

Busek stayed with me last fall when they were traveling, and he loves being at my house and watching the squirrels out the window! We get along pretty well.

oh wonderful! Busek? That is an unusual name that I've never heard!

His name is Bucephalus. Named after Peter the Great's horse. The cat was born in Russia, so the name is fitting.

what in the world? lol..how did they get a cat from Russia? And people actually know the name of Peter the Great's horse? what was Peter the Great great at?

The horse died in 326 BC, but I am surprised how many people recognize that name as having once belonged to a famous horse! That was a bit of history that was lacking from my education I guess.

He was a Russian Tzar who did many things to reform the church and Russian Society and bring the country into what was then a much more modern era.

My d-i-l is from Russia and her family lives there, so they visit once a year or so. The cat traveled in a carrier under her airplane seat a year ago. It is my understanding that cats are much easier than dogs to bring into the country.

Howdy again Melinda! Very interesting stuff!
Should I know what d-i-l stands for? lol.
