Greetings From Ohio...

"We spent Christmas in Florida with our son, who is stationed down there.  It was great as a large snow storm covered Ohio just behind us.  We were glad to get out of it's way and headed to a warmer climate.  It left about 18-inches of snow on the ground and rained on top of that plus added some on top of the rain.  Needless to say, ice blocks were chopped off driveways and parking lots as well as the streets.  Plowing here is second nature and life goes on as usual no matter what.  We enjoyed spending time on the white sandy beaches with my metal detector (found some coins) and sightseeing while in Florida but glad to be back home.  Also saw damage still left by hurricanes (downed trees, houses with roofs being repaired, trees bent in half, as well as homes with only the sides standing and nothing inside.  It was all quite scarey and we're glad we didn't have to go through what they did. Peace and blessings to all."  -- Jenni

Happy New Year." -- Deana Sprouse - Email: annslater_99@yahoo.com

It was the first of several Prohibition-repeal initiatives. The Oklahoma humorist Will Rogers would later say, 'Oklahomans vote dry as long as they can stagger to the polls.' Indeed, liquor was so plentiful that voters in 1914 passed an initiative to make 'drunkenness and excessive use of intoxicating liquors' cause for the impeachment of elected officials....." -- Initiative & Referendum Institute - Oklahoma   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
