Saturday:
Today was hot, and muggy, with early evening thunder showers. The rain cooled off the heat! A cool front is going through our little valley this evening, and it is quite nice.
As promised, I looked up the meaning of of the Shawnee Indian word Chillicothe. It started out as the word "Chalahgawtha" which translated into English as Chillicothe. It was the name of one of the five divisions ( or bands) of the Shawnee Native American tribe, and also means principal town. Blackfish was the name of the war chief of the division. Chief Blackfish led raids into Boonsbourgh, Kentucky, from Chillicothe, and in 1778 he captured Daniel Boone. Daniel Boone was later adopted into the Shawnee tribe, and lived with the Shawnee for several months. Ok, now that is your Ohio history lesson about Chillicothe, the first capital of Ohio. LOL!
As you can see I haven't done anything exciting this weekend so I'm having trouble finding something to write about. I did find out some things that I didn't remember from my Ohio history class in the 8th grade though. Ha ha! I'll probably have more to write about after today, as the Grand Girls will be here tomorrow afternoon.
