Legacy

I'm currently reading a book on western history called Men to Match My Mountains by Irving Stone. The book gives colorful descriptions of all the characters who settled the American west...one of whom Stone describes as "Probably the ugliest man to cross the plains." Wow! What a way to be remembered. Of course the author describes the good things

Elisha Stevens did as well, but to be called the "ugliest"? Hopefully, no one remembers me like that someday. If they do they'll probably remember me as that "Crazy woman with four kids...what was her name? Lauren? Laura? Didn't she end up in the mental hospital muttering things about books and ugly men?"

Only the future can tell.

Laurel

(P.S...the cowboy in the picture is not Elisha Stevens. He's just some random guy I found on the internet. What a way to be remembered--"Random cowboy guy!")
