Bouquet for Patsy!

The flowers by my retaining wall are blooming. Sending

this out to Old Sister, Patsy!

Wade Hampton Blevins Marriage

Wade Blevins is a son of Armstead Blevins who is a son

of Old Richard Blevins. They were in Carroll County, AR

in 1840, but left and lived in Texas for about 20 years before

going to Arizona where some of the Blevins were cattle rustlers

and killed in a shoot out. Some of our Blevins who stayed in

Carroll County, AR grew up with the Sisters!

I love this old marriage license!

High Voltage!

These lines are high voltage ones going from the Nuclear
Plant near my home. The farmers whose lands were crossed
by these lines reported problems in their cattle. I remember
hearing of birth defects and such. I have not heard of this in
a long time...but I think anyone could see that animals who
lived under these lines might have problems.
Reporting this for Annie...

Big Chimney!

This big chimney is the cooling tank for the nuclear

plant near my house. The big electric lines are carrying

power from the plant. My house is all electric, but my

big wish is to have a gas cooking stove. I think they

cook better and I have a fear of no power and freezing

to death in the winter! This tower cools the water the

plant uses to make electricity. Lots of folks in my

River Valley work at this plant!

Sisters are in a minority!

We are the new minority.

Our group will be the lesser number.

Once we roamed in a multitude

But now many of us slumber.

Only one in six today

are born to share our blue

Will we be denied jobs and housing

In a generation or two?

Will the parents of a blue eyed babe

have to hide them in the nile

To make sure they grow

and aren't sent to exhile?

Oh, blue eyed friends

Where have we all gone?

We are being conquered

By those dark eyed browns

When you see us will you

Smile or frown?

Only one in six babies today are born with

blue eyes. In a few generations will we be

a memory?

Dot's Shady Oak has bag worms!

Dot in GA may have moved to the highlands. Her blog is

taken over by folks selling medicine to enhance your

sexual experience. I want the old Dot back. I don't

like the stuff they posted there. Dot, please come home.

Martins will be here soon!

Our Martins will be here soon. Then I will know that

spring is here. They appear in March and stay with

us through the summer. Seems like suddenly one day

they are here with us and just as quickly move on in the fall.

Book Shelf and Horse Show!

Christensen Girls

I have not posted pictures of my girls in a

while. I went down yesterday to see the

new book shelves, Greg Jones (Erin's

husband), made Astrid and snapped a

photo of each of my RIDS!

Hidden Robins!

This is like one of those photos in the waiting room of

an office. Robins are hid all in the leaves. I could see

three of them but there were many more.

My School Going to the Dogs!

This dog has been roaming around my School. He is

encouraging the students to read and stand up for

what is right. You will see that written on the sign

behind him. I try to stand up for what is right and

sometimes it gets me in hot water...but oh, well!

Father taught the Sisters to stand up for what is right!

Well, both our Fathers.

This week, I took Sister 4, Dot's, Win's advice and took the

unlimited long distance on my phone bill!

Sis 4 it cost 50 cents more than I was paying and

my internet will be 5 times faster.

I was thrilled with the deal.

The down side for Patsy, Fleta, Helen and

other family members is.....

I will need to call all of you often so

I feel like I am getting a good deal.
