Duchess of Weaselskin

My five-point Buck friend, shown on the left, came to dinner the other evening, 24 October 2012, here in Southwest Colorado Rockies, North of Bayfield. It was the night before our temperatures dropped into the teens.

What a magnificent animal, don't you think? In Colorado it is considered a 5-point Buck, because they only count the points on one side. In Oklahoma it is referred to as a 10-point Buck. Whatever! It is still a great view, don't you think?

NW Okie's Corner

I have a good friend down in Houston, Texas I have reconnected with in the last few years, who has been in remission from Cancer for four years. Ellen, her family, and our family first met in the early 1980's when we were neighbors in Clear Lake City, Texas. Our sons became friends and playmates during that time. Like most friendships over time, you get separated and loose connection, but not forgotten -- only to find each other again thirty some years later.

The OkieLegacy Ezine Endorses Obama & Democrats 2012

You want to know what our President has done? This is important to remind everyone (even the anti-Obama haters) of what our president has accomplished in the last four years with little cooperation from a GOP (T-party) Congress, whose only agenda beginning day one was to destroy Obama and filibuster over 241 Bills, killing most everything put before them that would have helped America's recovery from the Great Depression at a faster rate than it has. This is why President Obama deserves four more years! - What Has Obama Done
