Duchess & Oakie's NW Corner

They say you can't go home again! Maybe you can! Maybe you can't! Whatever the case may be, things do change. AND... So do you! Nothing ever stays the same. You grow wiser and things seem smaller, older in your hometown. Have you noticed that everyone, including yourself begins to resemble their own parents. AND... there are more vacant business spaces around the square.

Fall Scenes from SW Colorado, "Twilight Peak, SW Colorado Mountains, Fall September 2004" -- We drove through some beautiful Fall Foliage in the high country of SW Colorado mountains before Duchess and I headed back towards NW Oklahoma.

This photograph on the left (Twilight Peak) was taken near Silverton, Colorado and just before you reach the two Passes near Silverton.

This photograph to the right is another shot of some Fall foliage seen just north and west of LaVeta, Colorado and west of Walsenberg.

As we arrived in Northwest Oklahoma early this week we noticed that the farmers were busy sowing their wheat AND the Oklahoma wind was blowing as usual with temps in the 80s. Not much Fall colors here yet, but things are changing slowly.

Thursday night a bit of a cool front blew through with a few sprinkles of that wet stuff. BUT Saturday and the weekend looks dry for the Rangers and Alumni on the warpath this weekend with their annual march en masse in downtown Alva Saturday morning with a football game in the afternoon.

We have heard from a few more of our readers who have checked in as to where the OkieLegacy reaches them. You can read those responses below.

NOW! Here are some Freedomites Picnic Bunch, When it was taken, we are not sure. We need some of you Freedom & NW Oklahoma citizens to check out this photographed to the right showing a bunch of Freedom citizens on a picnic.

We do know that Orange Scott Cummins (Pilgrim Bard) is in the front row, second from the left. In the second row, the third lady from the right looks like Waona (Cummins) Thomas. We are told that she was Scott Cummins granddaughter.  Can you recognize any of your ancestors in any of these photographs?

Before we head out of here for the weekend... we want you to check out below. especially, concerning the message from someone whose grandfather was the last baby born in Runnymede, Kansas. They are searching for more information concerning Runnymede, Kansas. Can you help him out?

See Y'all next weekend with more Okie Legacies! ~~ Linda "oaKie" & Duchess ~~   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
