Okie's NW Corner

As we look down these SW Colorado roadways, we see that it is that time again for another episode of Okie Legacies, memories from our mailbag and treasure chest. Where does the time go?

Hello, to all those special people back in Oklahoma.  Just wanted to let you know that we haven't forgotten Y'all -- to prove it... we are including this recent snapshot that Oakie took of this Pug out in the grass pasture here at our place in the country, east of Ignacio, Colorado.  Wish you were here!

This cool weather is great on this short-nosed Pug and her human counterpart.  The days have been in the mid-80s and the night in the 50s. A couple of nights ago it got down to 41, though.  We hear that the monsoons start next month.  We shall see what all that brings.

BUT... It sounds like Oklahoma has been getting a reprieve from the Summer heat. Someone told me the other morning via our Yahoo! IM (paristimes) that Alva (Oklahoma) received about 8 inches of rain last weekend (Thursday through Monday).  Write and let us know how things are going back in Oklahoma.  We love hearing from you and sharing your stories, legacies in our Okie Legacy. You don't have to be an Okie to submit your legacy. We love hearing from all of you!

We were reading the NewsOk.com weather online and see where the rain has been forming over the Colorado, New Mexico Mountains. We just wanted to inform you that we have NOT been doing any rain dances up here near the Ute Reservations around Ignacio, Colorado... but we are glad that the rains have brought smiles to many farmers in our neck of the woods back in Oklahoma... plus relief with some cooler summer temps. We found out this week that our Fairvalley (Oklahoma ghost town) received 7 to 7-1/2 inches last weekend. The ponds filled up, but aren't overflowing the spillway. AND.... we hear that Waynoka and the Cimarron River made the Channel 9 (KWTV) Weather News last Monday when the River reached the 8 feet flood range.

Hang on to your hats & pugs... This Friday, in SW Colorado, at about 3:00 p.m., MDT, the clouds had been gathering, forming -- just began blowing wildly across our Stone Mountains as it moved in from the mountains to the north. If we were back in Oklahoma the storm chasers would be out searching, watching the skies for possible tornadoes. Oakie said I couldn't go outside right now, 'cause I would surely be "blowing in the wind." Doesn't she know that I am pretty heavy in the chest area... kind of like Mae West and hug the ground.
