    Did some more reading on Gayla Peevey Henderson. She was from Ponca City originally and it was San Diego Ca. that she moved to. She made her last recording in 1960. The song about the "Hippo" was written three years before she recorded it. The Okc Zoo just "Played Off" so to speak of the song to use it to get a Hippo for $3000.00 named Matilda. It was not planned. I said earlier she was in the real estate business but it was an advertising agency she owned. She was born in 1943 and recorded the song in 1953. I'll do some more research and find out what her blood type is!!! LOL

    I was running around the southside yesterday and noticed at the top of a building on the northeast corner of 44th and walker there is a name in a plaque at the top that says "Roger Jones 1950".

    I remember going up those stairs to the second floor years ago, but for the life of me I don`t recall why.

    Was there a CPA there once?

    Any idea of who he is or was?

    Some thought it was written as a fund raiser to get a hippo for a zoo. She
    said it wasn't.

    Today, for the very first time, I was called a "south side thug", by someone who does not even know me, but is aware I grew up and still live on the south side. Don't know whether to be offended or not.

    By the way, they were not joking...........

    I think maybe you should be proud. I have heard that term used many times since way back.

    Your right. It just was an accumulation of actions that did not need to be.

    Resulted in an outcome that did not need to be.....

    Let's not let the silliness, or foolishness, of others create an unnecessary
    bitterness in ourselves. It does nothing but eat at our bones.

    In other words...

    'Jes laugh at 'dem jack and jenny asses! 'dey is dumb folk.

    'dem Proverbs of Solomon is some good readin'!

    Just don't listen to Gen70. He's from Ashville. In other words, he's from the
    FAR east side.

    Think about it. Southeast is east of Santa Fe and Ashville is several blocks
    east of Shields! I don't care how wonderful Soonergirl26 is... and she's
    pretty wonderful...

    OUCH!


    never mind...

    ... at the moment I have cauliflower ears... we'll talk later... providing I
    have permission... right mom?

    All this snow and one thing is missing.......

    Where are all the kids?

    My parents would have come and dragged me and my brother in at about dark.

    Are they all inside watching t.v. or send text messages?

    I'm so happy about the days and times I grew up in...

    And I was just thinking about the days when we could make "Snow Ice Cream" with Milk & Sugar & Vanilla. We'll never see the kind of clean snow we had when I was growing up in the 60's.

    Since nobody cooks anymore, I bet most kitchens have no vanilla.

    Most kids probably would think that snow ice cream is gross........
