I'm so glad they found him in time!!

I recently read a book called "The Children's Blizzard" a true account about a prairie blizzard in the late 1800s that killed many school children because in much of the area, it hit during the day and they were sent home from the schools only to get caught out in the storm.

This had me thinking of that book.

I look forward to more :-)

Author Reply: I remember reading a book about a more recent blizzard, in the 30s or 40s, I think, that hit Minnesota around Veteran's Day. A lot of hunters and fishermen perished, I think, and a whole train full of people were stranded.

A bad time to become ill, I fear. At least Socks followed orders and fetched help. But is this the start of the respiratory failure he faces in the future?

Love Heart sitting by him afraid of waking him.

Author Reply: Yes, a bad time. You're right, this is the start of his serious lung problems, compounding the damage done by the troll. This is also the start of Ferdi's downfall--he was supposed to be Pippin's escort, and Paladin (unfairly, perhaps) blames him for Pippin going out into an ice storm alone.

Are you coming down Labor Day? We're still planning to do tea but not sure which day.
