Today my favorite bird is turkey, Happy Thanksgiving.
My grandparents came to Florida from Georgia. I know it is not like traveling the Oregon Trail, but they did come by Ox and wagon, with some of their children and all of the things they thought they needed. I do not know what the things they brought were, but I would not want to make that trip by an ox and wagon/with kids.
It's strange to think barely over a century ago, horse- and ox-drawn carts were the primary means of transportation. And one wonders how obnoxious our grandparents and great-grandparents were as children.
