Many tribes had their young men and women go on "vision quests" in search of their "Wyakin" (which would be an animal or spirit) that would give you secret insight to life, and henceforth your lucky animal. I told Terry the wolf was my Wyakin. <br /><br />Yeah, I wonder which Terry is more like, a frontier man communing with the animal spirits, or Sith Lord in touch with the dark side.<br /><br />Man, we better hope he never reads this. . . :)Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485310328441248086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-17702439694611729392007-02-06T19:56:00.000-05:002007-02-06T19:56:00.000-05:00Peyote?

BTW, that was ...Peyote? Is that a breed of canine?<br /><br />BTW, that was a different Heather, not the one we work with... I mean, with whom we work.<br /><br />So Terry likes wolves, eh? That's funny. I can see him living in the woods, talking to the animals, figuring out directions by the pattern of moss growing on tree trunks, living off berries and guano. He prolly has some weird noise he can make to summon his furry friends. He sits around at night, talking to the spirits of his ancestors as they appear over his campfire. And Jeff was worried about YOU!Display Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467849121444837944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-54484150183658080462007-02-06T19:20:00.000-05:002007-02-06T19:20:00.000-05:00Geen -- yes, I do remember those, that was HALARIO...Geen -- yes, I do remember those, that was HALARIOUS! I think it was stupid how seriously people took it -- or how mean they could be!<br /><br />Kev -- hmmmmmm. . . not sure I like what you're implying here. You missed it today when Terry was going on about his affection for wolves, and Mike and I were underhandedly mocking him by discussing our vision quests and use of Peyote. :) Okay, back to my herbs -- I can't imagine anyone with dreds and tie dye living in my small 800 person town, but then again my next door neighbors were this really cute couple who had huge mohawks. They mowed the lawn, dug in the garden and power-washed the house in their really tall mohawks. <br /><br />Manda -- I'll be praying for them! Hope I gave you some good insights. ... those girls just need Christ!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485310328441248086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-32083835607619799212007-02-06T18:52:00.000-05:002007-02-06T18:52:00.000-05:00Hey Gret...I love your fav memories posts!

Any tips on how to deal w/S vs. K (I hate to write their names on the off chance they could somehow see your blog)? Last Wed was a bit more challenging than normal. I haven't had much problem with S before, but Wed. proved to be a bit harder. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!

Why not, if you can?<br /><br />Aim -- memory #52: watching and watching and watching and singing and singing and singing Newsies a million times over and over with Amy Miller!

Maybe I'll do a top 10 memories or something!<br />I'm so glad you remember coming to my house in Normal! What a fun weekend that was! I will never forget our dorm sup talking to me about going home too often my freshman year and me replying, "This is how I survive college!" I had such good friends at home and it was great introducing you all to them. And I had forgotten about the Allanis Morisette music!

I was so proud to be included in a memory also (even though it had to do with lice!)<br />I just told Laura about when we first met Kari and she told you some huge story at a party at your house about me being pregnant (and I wasn't) and you were so upset that we hadn't told you first. :-) <br />She is so crazy!
