Okie's NW Corner

I was just informed this week that one of our sons that moved to SW Texas from Washington, DC awhile back... is now sporting a guitar, cowboy boots and Texas auto tags. AND... he reminded me of the song, "Don't Let Your Babies Growup To Be... What....!"

One of these days I will get you a picture of Duchess and her red cowboy hat! BUT.... Not tonight! This tired little Pug is snoring up a storm right now while I try to get this week's newsletter typed up before midnight. I just looked at the clock and it is way past midnight. zzzzzzzzzzz..... I would go snap that shot right now.... BUT.... next time, maybe!

As far as NW Oklahoma weather goes... It's been in the 60's and Thursday night and Friday we actually saw some tiny bit of rain, misty fog up this way. Those shivering, cold New Englanders haven't been so lucky, though..... 40 below and windy! Brrrrrrrr....

It is always interesting to hear, read your comments about our OkieLegacy. I appreciate everyones comments, sharing and encouragements. They are all special to this weary writer and her snoring companion laying at her feet. Was it just last week that I finally met a lady at a NW Oklahoma cafe that said she enjoys receiving the OkieLegacy newsletter and she saves everyone of them and passes along some of them to her friends.

Before I head out of here, I would like to send you over to our Pilgrim Bard's Poems webpage for another poem (Laughing Fawn) written by a Northwest Oklahoma Territory Pioneer by the name of Scott Cummins and written around the 1920's.

Laughing Fawn - by Scott Cummins, the Pilgrim Bard

"Come, my child, and sit here by me
Underneath this shady tree -
Though I am a grim old Indian,
You are not afraid of me.
You have started up life's pathway,
I descend the sunset slope,
I am worn from life's long journey,
You are fresh and full of hope......"   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
