Serv,

There is one female Native American Saint.....Kateri Tekakwitha who lived from 1656 - 1680.  She was beatified by John Paul II in 1980.  She has a very interesting history.

Now back to the topic at hand!

Yes, but I was looking forward to seeing your expression, mate.

But not just any Pocahontas, Patty, our ultramontane (i.e., Roman Catholic) Pocahontas!

I�m always looking out for me no-tee (naughty) frater BMZ, whether he is in front of or behind me.  What I didn�t mention is that (think James Bond and 007 here) I have an extra special kayak which, at the press of a button, becomes air- and water-tight and encapsulated in layers of practically miraculous rubber.  At times, it comes in handy.

 

Ok, now back to our arguments.  As the expression goes:  have Theology, will argue!

Dear BMZ,

You're welcome here anytime at all.  I rarely leave....since my great passions are nature and photography, as well as hiking...I have no reason to leave except when I HAVE to travel to a village or town.

(*hint,  don't turn your back on Serv...with the suggestion you go over Niagra Falls in a kayak, I'd be a little bit concerned about my welfare with him if I were you.  I could be wrong, but better safe than sorry.)

Tell your daughter she is quite welcome to come along with you, shucks, bring the whole family!  There's lots of room, and there's a mosque 30 miles away.

God's Peace.
Patty

Patty,

That is beautiful.

If and when I retire from work, I would love to come and spend some time  there. According to my dear daughter, I am supposed to continue working, at least, till I am 80.

I would prefer this place to the one picked by Bro Serv, which could be hazardous not only to me but also by way of me becoming a safety hazard to Serv and DavidC.

And, I am definitely not going to stay and go kayaking with Angel, as I don't want the Aussie sharks to chew the kayak also!

Happy kayaking

BMZ

You're all more than welcome to kayak in the waters behind my home. You just have to walk down a path through the woods to get there. Here's a photo I snapped of it in the fall.  (My dog was getting ready to go for a swim.)  Nice calm waters here which lead out to the Atlantic.

I see many kayakers paddling away here.  We have a canoe...so I guess I could be Pocahantas.  My husband is a Passamaquady Indian.

Happy Paddling!
Patty

That we will do, BMZ.  We shall of course make room for you on our next toe-curling kayak trip southward, over the Niagara Falls.

 

Here�s a photograph of what to expect:

No wonder. Blood is thicker than water. Both of you are brothers of this ex-Indian. When I visit you guys, make sure there is an extra place in the kayak.
