Duchess & Sadie's Spring Domain

It has been a beautiful mountain week and weekend here in the Southwest Rockies. This Monday morning we awoke to an inch of snow on the cars and rooftops. The temperatures this past week during the day were anywhere from the sixties to the mid seventies.

The weekend before this last weekend, we took this photo on the left and right of the "Taste of Durango" that took over a few blocked off blocks on Main Avenue, in Durango, Colorado. This was the biggest crowd that NW Okie has seen in the last the few years. Durango's Manna Soup Kitchen uses the Taste of Durango to raise funds for their soup kitchen.

The birds, including hummingbirds, have been flocking in to feed at the feeders. What the birds drop the chipmunks and squirrels scurry around and eat. Except when Sadie and I are on outside bird, squirrel and chipmunk watch. That Sadie Pug is fast! Faster than this Duchess Pug, but I am going on 7-1/2 human years and Sadie is a couple of years younger than me. Sadie has a lot to learn yet! BUT she is getting there!

We hear that the Nescatunga Arts Festival is coming Saturday, June 4, 2010, on the downtown square of Alva, Oklahoma. Also, the Alva High Class of 1960 will be having their class reunion that weekend.

Linda and Bill Beeler send out this invitation to the Class of 1960, " We would like to invite all to stop by the class of 1960 canopy and say hello and visit awhile. It should be fun for all. Remember, if you will be in town come on down to the Alva square and join the fun."

Capron OK 1900 has been growing on Ancestry.com. Mark Tidwell just added a photo showing a 1918 Capron Bank, Woods County, Oklahoma. View all new photos.

If you have any old photos or stories of Capron, Oklahoma to share stop by Ancestry.com - Capron OK 1900 and join the fun of reminiscing.

We understand, May 19th, that some Oklahomans awoke to the sound of thunder and marble-sized hail that was pelting their house and windows, besides doing damage to trees that lost their leaves when the hail stones had beaten the leaves off the trees.

You will perhaps notice a NEW item on the right of the OkieLegacy Ezine that includes random, recent photos connecting our Facebook and Flickr sites to the OkieLegacy. Also, there is a NEW menu at the top "Blogs/WebCams/Photos" where you can move your mouse over to view a connection to other photo galleries at our OkieLegacy Flickr account. The photo galleries are listed under "Okie's Galleries." check out our Old Postcards that our Grandmother Constance Estella Warwick McGill collected over her lifetime. We do not have all of Grandma's postcards scanned, but you can view what we have scanned so far.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
