Woooooooooohoooooooo, Mohicanland! Sassy Soothsayer, here, along with Miss Katie herownself, just gettin' ready to head to that there Gatherin' thingie, doncha know! Yessir, we've got Ol' Purple all loaded down with clothes, tools, mirrors, the works! Why, we've got a batch or two of Miss Marcia's Famous DownHome Fuuu-uuuudge, and some o' Miss Katie's special Scottish Shortbread, and even a bit o' that Mysterious Amber Liquid those MacWilliams boys are always jawin' about! Tied on the back are a bunch of goodies for the General Raffle and a load of stuff for Ariel's Cabin...we heard tell those are two causes worthy of our most special endeavors! (Miss Katie says it's actually "endeavours" but you know them Scottish lasses just plain talk FUNNY!!)
And, wait'll ye hear THIS, we're draggin' along a hitchhiker...some Handsome Stranger we found wanderin' about Mohicanland in a DRESS for some dang reason. Says his name is Grapeshot Ramrod, and that he's related to them Gumrots over to the holler. Don't know about that, but he's pretty easy on the eyes, so we thought we'd tow him along behind us, just in case we find ourselves in need of a big, strappin' feller to help us fetch & carry, doncha know! When I advised him of our little plan, he looked me straight in the eyebulbs and said, "Dawn...at the encampment," an' that's jest where we aim to meet him! We'll be outta here at first light, and on our way to another adventcha!
We are confident that Miss Gaylee and Ol' Crone will keep things in Mohicanland under control during our absence. Well...maybe not CONFIDENT, but we're a-hopin'! And now, it's time to lay our little selves down for a good night's sleep, so's we can be fresh for our journey. At least I HOPE I kin get some sleep...that dadblamed Miss Katie keeps jumpin' up an' down & askin, "Have you SEEN the Red Man? Have you SEEN him??" Hopefully she'll calm down a bit before we depart...I'd hate to have to shove her off somewhere along the George Road, bein' as how I've heard the Mingoes in that area is actin' rambunctious again. But a body can only stand listenin' to SEW much excitement, after all!
Well, I hear Ol' Purple revvin' up out in the back 40, so's I'd best get a move on. Miss Katie, is it really necessary to bring along every single quilt in yer shoppe? I know bedding is yer business, an' all that, but Ol' Purple ain't as young as he used to be, ya know! Okay, okay, don't start cryin' again...we'll find room for you AND yer quilts!
Now, we...are....OUTTA here!
