Duchess of Weaselskin

Did you wish your Mother a "Happy's Mother Day" this Sunday?

We heard that this Sunday the temperatures got up into the 106F range in Northwest Oklahoma, in Alva, Woods, Oklahoma! This can not be good for the crop and pasture lands. Are we heading into another drought (dust bow) era in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas? To bad they can't pipe some of those flood waters of the Mississippi River to some of the Drought-stricken areas.

As for the lilacs blooming in Oklahoma, our lilacs here in southwest Colorado usually bloom a month of so later than those in Oklahoma.

NW Okie took a trip to Tucumcari, New Mexico this last Friday. Now here is a community along I40 where the main businesses are Hotels, Motels for travelers and truckers.

On the way back from Tucumcari, avoid I40 and Albuquerque, they took Highway 84 up to Santa Fe, New Mexico (apron. 3 hour drive) to spend the night, before heading out Saturday noon towards Chama, New Mexico (photo on the right), Pagosa Springs, Colorado (view east of Pagosa Springs on the left), and on into Bayfield, Colorado (approximately 4 hours-plus drive).

NW Okie told this reporter, "I am glad to get back to the cool snow-cap mountains of Colorado and this "Duchess of Weaselskin" and "Lady Sadie." We are glad to have NW Okie back in Colorado!

We received an obituary for another Northwest Oklahoman last week. Perhaps some of you might remember Jack Kelsey, born 15 June, 1925, on the family farm north of Waynoka to the late J. Burtus and Pearl Estelle (Francis) Kelsey. Jack Kelsey passed away 29 April 2011, at Enid, Oklahoma, at the age of 85 years, 10 months, and 14 days. Jack Kelsey Obituary:
