Quote of the Week from Kit Carson

I chose this because it is winter and so many of us are partaking of Chili right now to stay warm. Grin!

I was always a fan of Kit's, ever since I read a book about his life when I was 7. I did not know his final words, though. I only hope that I can go out with that kind of cool.
It's so cold out here in sunny Calif. today, Yes, I think I'll try that bowl of chili soup
One more bowl of chilli, one more article from robritt, and life will be much improved. Thank You fer sharin'. Mizpah. ;-}}>

Being a Minnesota gal, I could stand another bowl of chili about now too!
It's colder than cold here...brrrr. A steaming bowl of chili sounds good. Wonder what Kit liked in his chili. Being a frontiersman, I may not want to know. :-)
