Here's a special "Hello" to all those Red Hat Ladies, especially the Okie Dokies of Alva, Oklahoma that we talked about in The OkieLegacy, Vol. 6, Iss. 4.

1881: Bat Masterson's Last Shootout

".....For several years, Masterson drifted around the West. Early in 1881, news that his younger brother, Jim, was in trouble back in Dodge City reached Masterson in Tombstone, Arizona. Jim's dispute with a business partner and an employee, A.J. Peacock and Al Updegraff respectively, had led to an exchange of gunfire. Though no one had yet been hurt, Jim feared for his life. Masterson immediately took a train to Dodge City.

Pictures of My Dad's Plant - Clivia

"Thought I would send you a day brightener. My dad was featured on the front page of the Features section of the Courier-Journal last March for his Clivia. This is what the blooms look like this year. They were so pretty I just wanted to share. My dad is 80 years old and used to garden extensively until about 2-years ago when the doctor told him he could no longer use the rototiller. He still has a greenhouse where he grows these and many other plants. He especially likes growing the Clivias and Amaryllises that he has grown from seed. Daddy bought the seed for the Clivias at my urging 25-years ago when Mark and I returned home from college. I had seen a huge Clivia growing in a green house in Murray, Kentucky, and thought it was a gorgeous plant. Daddy bought 5 seeds from Park Seed Co. for about $8 and the rest is history. These are definitely plants that I can pass on to my children that were grown by their grandfather." -- Brenda S. - Photo 1 [more]...   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
