Duchess Corner

Our little Sadie got spayed about 10 days ago. She seems to be doing great and has even forgotten about her surgery. We were suppose to keep her interactive for 7-10 days. The same day of the surgery Sadie slept the rest of the day. BUT... next day she was back to her energetic self. The only way we could keep her semi-inactive was to lay down and take a nap with her. So.... we both got a rest during those 7-10 days.

We have lots of items in our mailbag to share with you all this week. Such as... information on the Bickel Bus line of Alva; the Anthony Wholesale Grocery of Anthony, Kansas; old Alva photos taken during the 1920s that Mike Rosebery bought on ebay and put on his "Flickr" website; we found another person who has sergraphic print #391 of 550 prints of JFK (John F. Kennedy), dated 1961, signed by R. V. Goetz. Our dad (Gene McGill) had print #1 of 550.

Thanks to you all who shared your memories of the Bickel Bus line and King Parrot brand goods from the Anthony Wholesale Grocery. We knew we could jog a few memories out there.

Hey! Did someone say we are in our Winter cycle? Where is it? Seems like Fall around here in the Valley of SW Colorado -- dry conditions, also.

Have you been keeping an eye on the fires ravaging the dry plains and cities of Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas? Sounds like they could use some of that rain, moisture that is on the west coast.

We did drop to $2.339 for unleaded gas prices in Bayfield, Colorado. BUT... that didn't last long. NOW... it is back up to $2.449 since yesterday afternoon when I filled up my auto.

Hope this week's newsletter finds you all soaring into 2006 in great shape! AND... hope that some of you MAC users get this weeks copy of The OkieLegacy. We understand some could not bring up anything when they click on the site. Some of you did not even receive last week's newsletter.

Keep those histories of the past coming this way. We could not do it without your legacies and photos of your pioneers and past. View/Write Comments (count 1)   |   Receive updates (0 subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
