I painted the interior trim in the kitchen today-the back door, designed 
a stencil and decorations for the toy box Ron is making for our little 
Princess, wrapped some gifts(homemade birdhouses going into a gift 
bag..lol....) and did general cleaning, but every few minutes, I was 
checking on those eggs...mama hen style..lol..tomorrow I will be pretty 
darn busy, I'm sure.  It really is fun.  Tonight, I've been hanging out 
on the computer, looking at various 'health' related sites now...
If you do break out the incubator, be sure and write on your eggs.  I 
have found that very informative.  I date each one and note where I got 
it from(either mine or neighbors), and then I mark each one with 
'candleling notes': checks, question marks, etc.  I felt confident 
enough this time to toss the eggs that I did not think were developed, 
and I was right.
When I pick eggs, I try to pick the largest and cleanest ones to hatch. 
 The first one hatching is so small that you would think it a pullet 
egg.  I was desperate for eggs, so anything clean enough went into the 
'bator.

The true significance of Sacajawea's involvement in the Lewis & Clark
expedition is that it was the first documented trip in history where men
asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
