We hope all the mothers and grandmothers out there had a great "Mother's Day" this Sunday.

NW Okie received Mother Day roses from an rose bushes via the internet and all the way from northwest Oklahoma. The pink rose bush on the left is an old bush planted by NW Okie's Grandmother Constance Estella (Warwick) McGill sometime back in the late 1940's. It has been blooming, growing ever since! The photo on the right is a closeup of one of those pink roses.

The red rose bush on the left is one NW Okie planted in the late 1980's, by the front door of her home in the eleven hundred block of Maple Street. It keeps growing and blooming for the last 20-plus years. Thanks to both of NW Okie's sons for sending these beautiful roses all the way of northwest Oklahoma!

We have included in this week's OkieLegacy Ezine a photo of Alva, Oklahoma's NEW mural that graces the eastside of the a building adjacent to the Old Bell Hotel. If you are ever visiting NW Oklahoma, you might take a tour of this "Mural city!"

We have also included some history of the Hindenburg crash of May 1937 and the first Bob Hope USO tour during World War II (1941) at California's March Field. We have included some YouTube.com videos of a few WWII USO's that we found.

While Oklahomans are experiencing a supercell storm this Monday, May 10, 2010, we here in SW Colorado Rockies were experiencing sunny spring-like weather with a few hummingbirds frequenting our hummingbird feeders that were set out.

How is the Storm and weather in the Heartlands? Did you experience any tornadoes and storms? We have been standing by and staying tuned to the national weather for updates on Oklahoma's supercell that has been moving through Central Oklahoma this afternoon, Monday, May 10, 2010. Sounds like Norman near Lake Thunderbird, in Central Oklahoma experienced a tornado that created some damages around the Lake Thunderbird area. Hope you Central Okie's have your radio, television and Local Weather station tuned in and are taking precautions this afternoon, evening.

Good Night and Good Luck!
