: "one feather shy of a warbonnet"...LOL! I gotta remember not to be having a late night munch (ala tea biscuit) when reading some of these posts. Just about choked this time and made one heck of mess of my lap top screen! Yuk! Love the breakfast menu, but geez, now you gotta KNOW what I'm gonna be thinking of the next time I watch the movie and it gets to the scenes at the Huron village? ((grins)).

Dear Jeri
I, Heloise of the Hurons, am here to offer you help and guidance in the way of cleaning tips. Mohicanland is a dirty place, sartain, and we goodwives are always in need of hints to make our lives a bit easier. For the occasional dirty bit of glass here or there, well splattered with dried on tea biscuits, I suggest you head for the river! Find someone who's got nothing better to do on the lake today, & have them build a fire & bring buckets of water. Get out your handy-dandy bar of Grandma's LyeSoap, & begin scrubbing with a well-worn bit of soft leather...don't even ASK where to get that! A LOINCLOTH discussion is NOT something Miss Heloise wishes to be involved in. If you find that the dirt on the aforementioned piece of glass is NOT coming off, you must grab an empty bucket, and move on. Go TWO LEAGUES...BETTER WATER!
That should about do it! Tune in tomorrow when Miss Heloise will be discussing the proper way to re-wattle a hut.
Hearty Hugs,
Heloise
