Well, that's interesting you found that Susie, because I remember we brought that up in Indiana history class back in the seventh grade! WAAAY back then. But my history teacher said it was a Native American word. But all those history books lie, so who really knows for certain! ;) :D

We have lots of funny names here... Mishawaka, Kokomo, Nappanee, Oswego, Wawasee, Tippecanoe....

If you ever come to Indiana Gary you can meet Cody in person! But he may drown you in great big wet kisses all over your face! He's a very sweet and gentle dog. He loves everyone he meets.

I love driving through Wales, especially when you get into the countryside ... thankfully all the signs have English "subtitles" but they sure do have some weird and wonderful names.
Did you know that the longest word without vowels in the english language originates from Wales? The word is TWYNDYLLYNGS, meaning twins.
I Love the Welsh language!! It's so ... musical!
Susie :)

Yes it is. Welsh is a beautiful language. I think Gaelic is pretty too.

Oreo is sitting right here next to me! He's playing with a piece of string! I'm dangling it over his head and he's batting at it. I'll post something and then play with the cat for a quick minute. Cody's mad at me right now. He got a bath and he didn't like it. He's in the other room pouting right now. He'll forgive me an about another hour! He never stays mad with me for very long.
