Too bad more people don't read them and take them to heart. There is a large salt mine about 20 miles from me that had a major collapse after an apparent minor earthquake about 30 years ago. Much environmental damage as the ground water was contaminated and wells made unusable. The salt from this mine is used for rock salt.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-29054016579298671942022-04-21T08:40:09.940-04:002022-04-21T08:40:09.940-04:00Bonnie, thank you so much for this history lesson ...Bonnie, thank you so much for this history lesson about Saltville!

It's been mined since the late 1890s. I guess Saltville has them beat! Thanks for the tour Bonnie.

Who knew when we were younger, that there was more history than what was just in books. And thank you for the reminder to schedule time to work on my UFO...it was wonderful to work on beautiful fabric.

The Mansion there is called Arbor Lodge, their Summer Home. He is called the father of Arbor Day. His son Joy Morton took control of what he renamed Morton Salt Co in Chicago. I Love finding the History when I travel too. The statue in the trees has a girl pouring Salt. We didn't get to go inside because of Covid restrictions and it was undergoing some renovations. Have to wait for more of my sashing Fabric to finish my Rhododendron Trail. Plot twist, change of Plans day.<br />Thanks for sharing.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156858742587928699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-52408947087142026922022-04-20T12:27:24.782-04:002022-04-20T12:27:24.782-04:00Did you use powdered ranch dressing on wings? or t...Did you use powdered ranch dressing on wings? or the rradybtobise liquid? looks good!

I get absolutely cranky and totally out of sorts when I cannot get in the studio and, if not sew! get together some yarn and knitting needles, do so embroidery... hallelujiah my sewing machine is ready to come home from her spa day, gone since Apr. 8... LOL, procrastination prevented me from oiling up the Featherweight... it's been ages since I've gone to retreat! Thanks, Bonnie, for the history lesson(s) it's almost as good as being there!
