May 23, 2019; Firefly

 Barry and I came off a short road trip last night. (Atlanta, Mountain Crossing to hike Blood Mountain and the Chehea Mountain to hike the Pinhoti.) I did payroll last night so that I wouldn't have to go to the office today. I did some early morning house chores and then drove to Firefly. I took my 30 min walk and then Barry called to say he would drive down for lunch. We went to the Island now I'm going to have my writing time on the pier deck.

~ I've had my writing time and spent about an hour getting vines out of the trees in the first section I started working on and the tidying up the yard. My little laptop has spent the afternoon updating but I'm going to have to leave it. I'm really content.

2018: Lubbock, TX & Omaha, NE

  August 27, 2018 Fort Supply, OK / Woodward, OK Barry went to Radio Shack in Woodward and I went next door to the Office Supply /Gift Shop. Turned out, they were connected. Barry and I had seen "Boomers" on several signs around town. When the lady at Devines asked if she could help me, I told her that I was just looking, but that I did wonder about "Boomers." She said they were the people who came to Oklahoma in the land grab. A man nearby, who was buying a chair, said the Sooners had cheated. He and the shopkeeper and I visited for awhile --- the wind in Oklahoma, what people do. I enjoyed it.  " Boomers " is the name used for two groups of  settlers  in the  Southern United States  in what is now the state of  Oklahoma . The first group was participants in the "Boomer Movement."
