NW Okie's Corner

Good Monday morning to all! But this may be evening by the time I get this OkieLegacy Ezine published. We just back from NW Oklahoma to view the Fall colors if SW Colorado. Some beautiful golds of Aspens lined our path over the Eastern slope of Wolf Creek yesterday late afternoon into dusk.

You can check out our Facebook and Picasa web albums for more views of SW Colorado's Fall changing of colors. I need to check out the Fall changes taking place between Durango and Silverton. Hope I can catch them before they peek completely. Maybe they have already peeked.

I was asked what got me into writing my OkieLegacy Ezine. Over the last 14 years or so it has evolved from a simple "Heart To Heart" journal I began writing as therapy to work through some things that I was going through back then. After working through those range of feelings, It helped me find what was important to me and how I wanted to move forward in a more constructive, productive venue . . . discovering my past through genealogy, history of my pioneer ancestors who came to America settling in Virginia, Tennessee, New Amsterdam and other areas on the East coast before moving westward towards Kansas and Oklahoma Territory. I have found that writing helps me put things into perspective so I can move forward in my life.

There is still unanswered questions for some of my pioneer ancestry and unnamed photographs to yet identify, but it has become a labor of love of discovering . . . Who and what I am!

Have you ever wondered . . . If America had not open it doors to immigrant pioneers, where would America be today? Where would you be today?
