We gut home in time to cash our checks at the general store and pay some bills before night. I had to get a Mother s Day present....l wanted something special. I had two things in mind, a 4# quart cooler that my mom could take to the beach for those spots or a big electric mixer so she could keep cooking those 13 layer chocolate cakes. I finally picked the cooler. Sunday morning I got up early and put the cooler in the back of my Indian convertible and headed to Scraptnms house. Since Scrupirun is from Pennsylvania and has no family <m or new the Reservation I try hi include him in all my family functions. Scrupirun lives about four miles from the Reservation on the other side of the river.
