Duchess of Weaselskin

Saturday evening around dusk we spotted these two 4x4 (Colorado Point) Bucks grazing in our north yard. They grazed for awhile while we watched on and then jumped the creek that runs through the yard and strolled on south down the road.

We stumbled across the You know you're from Alva if . . . website on Facebook a few weeks ago and was reading where Monet Monfort Lion asked if anyone remembered drinking a soda fountain drink called a "graveyard." Monet goes on to tell us that it was from the soda fountains of old and a concoction of coca cola and a squirt of every syrup they had. Monet said, "I drank them at Monfort's and Schumachers -- don't remember them at Reynolds or Holders." Has anyone ever heard of the soda fountain "graveyard" drink?

Regarding the OkieLegacy Feature #1489, Rhonda J. McMurtrey comments, "Regarding the McMurtrey property, correct spelling is "Ronal." Great article!

Marguerite McMurtrey commented, "The Ronal McMurtrey home was the hospital unit at the POW camp. It was purchased at auction by Wentz & Inis McMurtrey, Ronal's parents, and moved to their farm 5 miles east of the Dacoma Road on 5th Street & 1/2 mile north. It was placed over a full basement and completely remodeled. The family moved into the home in 1947. Ronal and his wife, Marguerite (Gower), moved into it in 1959 and Wentz and Inis moved to Cherokee. Ronal & Marguerite raised their 3 children there and still live there. (Note the correct spelling of Ronal McMurtrey.)"
