Volume 9 , Issue 47

This weekend finds NW Okie settlin' in her newly acquired antique wooden rocking chair with her MacBookPro laptop next to her as she begins to put together this weekends issue of The OkieLegacy.

We are also settled in front of the NCAA sports channels on DirecTV waiting for the Oklahoma Bedlam between OU and OSU to begin. My allegiance may be a bit split, because my father, Gene McGill, was an OU Sooner graduate of 1937 with a pharmacy degree. My oldest son, Michael, is an OSU alumni graduate.

Moving away from football, though, did you all get your fill of turkey, dressing, cranberries, baked ham, greenbeans, chicken & noodles, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cherry pie and all those family Thanksgiving delicacies?

We gathered at our adobe for our Thanksgiving feast. Friday, our youngest son, Robert, caught this two-point buck settled at the edge of the trees and at the edge of the mountains. The buck was just seated/laying in the shade of the tree, chewing his cud ... or whatever. Robert used this telescope that they use to gaze at the stars, planets to focus in on the 2-point buck. Then he took my digital camera and placed over the eyepiece to catch the buck in this photo on the left. Great shot, Robert!

It didn't snow on Thursday, Thanksgiving day, but after midnight it began snowing here in southwest Colorado and dropped 4 to 5 inches of wet snow by the early morning hours of Friday, November 17, 2007.

This snow picture was taken Friday morning, November 17, 2007, around &:30 a.m., looking towards the southwest from the hill at our adobe in southwest Colorado, East of Ignacio, Colorado.   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
