Pugs & SW Colorado Cooler, Drier Air

Well! What these horses hear from those SW Coloradians is, "We (NW Okie, David & The Pugs) left northwest Oklahoma early last Thursday morning and arrived at Bayfield, Colorado around 6:30 p.m. MDT after about a 12 hour drive through, western Oklahoma, southwestern Kansas and southeast Colorado."

They reached the 70 degree temperatures around Walsenberg, Colorado on Hwy 160. We hear the gas prices ranged from $3.81.9 in Alva, OK to $3.95.9 on westward through Kansas and Colorado. The highest gas price was at the Springfield, Colorado station on the south edge of town -- in the $4 range for regular. maybe they should have driven to the north edge of Springfield, Colorado and found the gas prices a few cents below the $4 dollar mark.

Memorial Weekend In Oklahoma
NW Okie spent last week's Memorial weekend placing red roses on her ancestors McGill/Warwick gravestones, especially her great-uncle Wilbur Warwick (Grandmother Constance Warwick McGill's younger brother) who had died at the age of one year in 1896. Wilbur is buried in Block eight of the Alva Cemetery with other young babies who died at a young age.

Horses @ Fairvalley
One our readers told me last week, that she really enjoys seeing photos of our horses. So... for those horse enthusiasts, you can check out our OkieLegacy YouTube site for a short movie files of our horses getting a squirt of spray to control the small flies buzzing them this while we up there last week. If that link doesn't get you there, then try Horses at Fairvalley, OK.

Scissortail Flycatchers In NW OK
A few days ago, our youngest son, Robert L. Wagner, took some movie clips of a Scissortail Flycatcher that likes to frequent Alva's northend of the park down by the pond. Robert says the Scissortail is quite friendly and likes posing for the camera. Have you been to Alva's park lately?

Alva High Reunions
While we were in Alva, OK last weekend, we hear that the Alva High Class of '63 held their reunion out at the VIP Club, South of town. AND... it seems the Class of '88 Goldbugs also met that same weekend. Are there any '63 or '88 Goldbugs out there that have more information on those class reunions held last weekend?

Colorado Hummingbirds
As to the SW Colorado hummingbirds had been without hummingbird juice for the couple of weeks that NW Okie was gone. The hummingbirds are slowly coming back, but most have gone to a more productive feeder.

Duchess says, "I love this cool, drier climate, 'cause this pug doesn't have to breathe so hard to cool off here in Colorado."
