Dear Mom, Even the stalagmites 'round here are made of ice and snow.
Love, Ruth

Dear Ruth,
oh wow---- cool. very cool. Did you have to look up whether those were stalagmites or stalagtites or did you remember that off the top of your smarty pants head? xoxoxo
Funny thing was, I woke up this morning and thought " staligtights or stalagtites?" Completely unsure of spelling..so I looked it up. I wasn't even close.
stalactite--hanging like an icicle
stalagmite-- like a stalactite but standing like a pillar on the floor of a cave
Your smarty pants head hit the nail again. But more to the point, the photo was great.
I tried to remember that rule this morning, but the one I had used was the mite instead of the tite--- the mighty stand up.---I think that's how I used to think of it. But it's been so long since I thought of them that I couldn't even spell them right without the dictionary! I forgot that part about the lac, as in stalactites.

Dear Mom,
I remembered it from my smarty pants head, but I do not know if I remembered it correctly. :)

Dear Mom,
The Way I had remembered it is the 'tites hold on tight to the ceiling. You don't have to hold on tight to the ground.
