Remember the "hoola-hoops" of 50 or 60 sixty years ago? They are still going strong today. At the "Taste of Durango 2011" held to raise funds for the Manna Soup Kitchen, They were selling hoola-hoops on the downtown Main Street of Durango, Colorado this Sunday afternoon from 11:00am to 4pm, 15 May 2011. When was the last time you tried a hoola-hoop?

NW Okie clicked this shot of two unidentified young girls showing us how easy it was to keep that little hoop moving around their bodies up and down from hips to their necks. OH! Only to be young again to try! When was the last time you tried your hoola-hoop? How many and how long could you keep it going?

Check out in this week's OkieLegacy newsletter of an old photo of the Oklahoma University Pharmacy Association (O.U.Ph. A.) group members of 1936-37. My Dad, Gene M McGill is listed as a member of that group and graduated from OU in 1937 with a B.S. degree in Pharmacy, as did Howard J. Schuhmacher.

Mother's Day Wood Bowl Mid-week of last, NW Okie received a fantastic Mother's Day gift from her youngest son, Robert. He had wood turned a piece of juniper (cedar) that he had found at a tree limb dump site. I love all the natural openings, grains in this cedar bowl. It gives it so much great character!
