It is supposed to be a beautiful day today so I am rushing to get this out early.
According to my grandmother Grace Anglin we have not had "Indian Summer" yet and
it will not happen today because we have not had "Squaw Winter" yet. These are her words
coming out of her era and not suitable for this era of political correctness. I am sure that is why
the Chicago Trib. discontinued their annual front page depiction of the old man telling his
grandson the traditional settlers version of this event.
My father Don "Wop" Anglin subscribed to the Sunday Chicago Tribune and we always looked
forward to the October edition that had this well illustrated story on the front page.
Grandma Grace Anglin maintained that we need to see a few snow flakes before we can experience
true "Indian Summer" Some people think that you only need a frost. Read the story -I think you will
know it when it comes. Go ahead and click the link below.
