NW Okie's Ramblings & Rumblings

Finally! I got to catch a glimpse of my 13 year "old grey mare" and her 2010 bay filly that you are viewing in the photo on the left.

You remember me speaking of Maggie and her 2010 filly a few issues back (or was that last week?). Maggie, 2005 Dun mare, is one of the several colts/fillys out of my 13 year mare, Cindy.

AND . . . Of course, my favorite 2003 Palomino, Nugget (a.k.a. Docs Lynx Son, Trigger). The photo in the link shows Nugget at a younger age (ca. three years) in the process of being broken to ride, saddled and tied to a hitching post.

Nugget has NOT been ridden for awhile, but he is a BIG sweetheart that loves attention showered on him. He picks us out in the crowd and makes his way over for some rubbin', lovin' around his head, ears, nose and neck.

I have two registered brands in Colorado and Oklahoma, that go on the left hind hip. One is shown as a "circle" with a "horizontal bar" across the top, as seen in the certificate on my Essemar quarterhorses site.

The other brand is the one I am using on Nugget, Maggie and Doquoti -- a backwards "L" and using the vertical part of the "L" with sideways "V" (to represent "K") and the "W" for "wagner." The certificate on screen may be out of date, but it has been renewed every five years or so. I just have not gotten around to rescanning the renewed certificates for both . . . yet!

Kathryn Walters Racette posted a message on my Facebook wall concerning her friends inquiry of a Halloween spook, which went by the name of Eugene, and surfaced in the old two-story, Longfellow school building, in Alva, Woods county, Oklahoma. There were reported sounds that seemed to always come from the basement of the school.

Kathyrn and I have never heard or remembering, hearing of this story. A friend of Kathyrn and a friend of hers, who did go to Longfellow school, does remember Eugene, the Halloween spook.

Is there any Northwest Oklahomans and Longfellow school alumni out there that remembers the story and sounds of a Halloween spook named Eugene?   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
