NW Okie's Ancestry Corner

NW Okie has been addicted to her family genealogy the past couple of weeks. I finally got her away from her computer last Sunday afternoon for a Sunday stroll through the pastures east of our adobe home in SW Colorado.

It was a bit warm that day (mid-60s). I finally found a cool spot to rest and catch my breathe underneath this tree that set upon a rocky hill. Okie just meandered nearby. I kept trying to get her to turn around and head back towards the adobe, BUT... she kept prodding forward.

Finally, after my tongue is stretched out a mile, panting in the shade, she decides we need to head back. It was a race! You should see me run when I am heading in the right direction towards MY distination.

I think Okie got lost. I know for a fact that she got tangled in a barbed-wire fence when she tried to step over it. That was a hilarious laugh for this Pug. Meanwhile, I finally reached my shady distination and was stretched, laying in wait by the shade of the pickup truck back at the homeplace when Oakie finally strolled back home.

Our journey this week takes us back to Virginia (Old Augusta County) in search of family roots and history & maps of the area back then. There are also some interesting stories in the Mailbag Corner: a list of 1925 Alva High Graduating Seniors; Ashley-Short Springs (Alfalfa County, OK) book for sale, compiled by Ila Wessels of Cherokee, Oklahoma; an update on Al Updegraff of Dodge City, Kansas; a story of the Cameron Family of Virginia; an inquiry about the Battle of Alva (OK); etc...   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
