Remembering old dogs

Recently, I wrote about some of the pets I’ve had in my life and mentioned a little dog I had while growing up. Her name was Mitzi. The other day, as I was taking a step back in time and just reflecting a bit, I got to thinking more about her.

Letter to the editor

During a meeting in which a full board was not in attendance the Lincoln County Fair Board has passed a rule that no one under the age of 5 can exhibit anything in the Lincoln County Free Fair in 2024. This goes for all species of livestock (Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Rabbits, and Chickens).

Horns Down!

I went old school Saturday. And by old school, I mean I listened to the OU-Texas game on the radio. That’s right. The radio. By choice. Took me back to the 1960s, when my dad and I would work around the house on Saturdays and have the OU game playing on the radio in his ‘62 Chevy pickup.

Farewell to Ruth Davis

Early last week, my wife’s mom passed away. She was 97 years old. We had a graveside service just as she had requested and family and friends gathered at our house, some for several hours, following the service, which also was to accommodate her wishes.

Remembering dogs

Pets have been a part of my life since I can remember. We got our first dog when I was a third grader. Even before that, when I lived part of the time with my grandparents on my mother’s side, they had a dog.

I saw on Facebook that after having a fun-filled weekend the Hendricks sisters made a road trip to Stroud to see the banners they had purchased for their beloved veterans.

Weekend at the lake

Last weekend we (the wife Pat and I) kept our grandson Liam. It was the first time in nearly two months and he had turned 5 since then. We saw him over the Labor Day weekend right after his birthday, but it’s always a privilege and pleasure to have him for a couple of nights.
