Poem of the Day
OKLAHOMA
Oklahoma sunshine, Oklahoma rain
Oklahoma wind whistlin' down the lane
Oklahoma cattle fed on Oklahoma grain
morals and values deeply ingrained.
Oklahoma crops in Oklahoma fields
Oklahoma sky, Oklahoma hills
Oklahoma people working with a will
tilled warm soil and oil drilled.
Oklahoma Indians quite aplenty.
Iron red dirt shinin' like a penny.
Cowboys, ranches, rodeos and cows,
tornado alley and powwows,
early morning grass wet with dew,
panoramic views, mountains too,
instill in the heart closeness to the land,
making life here Oklahoma grand.
I haven't blogged for awhile due to having two different types of infections at the same time, but some things have gone on. I had a birthday yesterday. We couldn't celebrate it because the "Carpentry for the Novice" class took the time away. The class lasts for 3.5 hours and you stand the whole time. We will have the pleasure of spending our anniversary there too.
It snowed a little yesterday, something I love and it was really cold too. My daughter sent me 3 beautiful red roses and I got cards and calls from all my kids except one and he hasn’t told anyone Happy Birthday for years. I am just crossing my fingers he will get through school. My other son's birthday is the 28th of this month and my anniversary is Dec. 2nd so there is a lot of celebrating going on.
Something that happened locally, the CANDLES Museum was set on fire by an arsonist and burned to the ground. The arsonist left a message painted across the building saying, "Remember Timmy McVeigh." The CANDLES Museum was started by a woman who survived the Jewish death camps in WWII. She and her sister were twins and it was due to this that they survived, although experiments were done on them both. Money is pouring in from many places to aid her in getting it started again. Not many of us have the problems this woman has faced in her life and life is so short; yet she holds no anger toward the person, only sadness.
Two or three weeks ago, a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and wrecked on I-70. You'll never guess what was spilled all across the road unless it was in the national news. Anyway, he hit the guard rail and the truck went over spilling, (are you ready) animal fat all over both lanes! Boy, did it smell and when it hit the pavement it began to solidify. I-70 was backed up for miles and travelers had to detour through Terre Haute. The stuff was on the road for about a week and also in the river. Ugh.
Have a good day!
