But from what I saw it was dusty and not of much use - seeing them at the roadside, selling bits and pieces didn't feel right - to say the least. <i>I beg forgiveness</i> too.Mike Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149847109691591945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192546280809331581.post-16255001865981180702011-11-24T22:10:22.182-05:002011-11-24T22:10:22.182-05:00i doubt that the few remaining natives find anythi...i doubt that the few remaining natives find anything to celebrate of this white man's day - i mourn their losses with them -GYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192546280809331581.post-895342192301136422011-11-24T22:08:45.229-05:002011-11-24T22:08:45.229-05:00and you in mine, lovely linda, and you in mine! ;)...and you in mine, lovely linda, and you in mine! ;)GYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192546280809331581.post-52154753595688331972011-11-24T22:08:20.635-05:002011-11-24T22:08:20.635-05:00thank you, trish - even as a child i could not und...thank you, trish - even as a child i could not understand our "celebrating" something based upon the extermination of an entire nation of people - all for greed -GYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192546280809331581.post-59559544224550564052011-11-24T22:06:38.666-05:002011-11-24T22:06:38.666-05:00yes, alex - so very sad - another entire nation lo...yes, alex - so very sad - another entire nation lost and gone - my heart cries -GYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192546280809331581.post-78726057232730789052011-11-24T22:05:09.378-05:002011-11-24T22:05:09.378-05:00lady from italy - ah, marlon brando! yes, indeed,...lady from italy - ah, marlon brando! yes, indeed, and i remember that stand he took, too! bravo, marlon, bravo! so many stories of gypsies as of many other groups of people who choose to follow a different drummer - while i have birthed a number of children, i have stolen none! ;)GYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192546280809331581.post-47994617212565249002011-11-24T15:46:01.885-05:002011-11-24T15:46:01.885-05:00I wonder if they celebrate or mourn todayI wonder if they celebrate or mourn todayA Plain Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741520771592669741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192546280809331581.post-85305702665843629372011-11-24T13:00:34.470-05:002011-11-24T13:00:34.470-05:00thank you for being in my life, sweet lady....bles...thank you for being in my life, sweet lady....blessings all ways...xoxL'Adelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725322054223364858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192546280809331581.post-34107202893220747742011-11-24T00:58:41.050-05:002011-11-24T00:58:41.050-05:00Beautifully put, Gypsy.Beautifully put, Gypsy.Trishhttp://www.synchrosecrets.om/synchrosecretsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192546280809331581.post-45586784562382444212011-11-23T18:10:22.241-05:002011-11-23T18:10:22.241-05:00Sad that last line is so true.Sad that last line is so true.Alex J.

Their land was taken away and they were ...So true. Their land was taken away and they were sent to reservations, very cruel. I remember Marlon Brando was fighting for the natives too, he refused to pick up the Oscar. I noticed the gypsy camp picture here on the side of your blog and it reminded me that when I was small in Sicily people used to believe that gypsies stole young children so I was always afraid to walk alone for fear of encountering them. When we lived in India many years ago I found out that gypsies are originally from Rajasthan.Saucy Sicilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044337117600868975noreply@blogger.com
