I just love seeing those wild cedar trees in OK that look like well trimmed Christmas trees. I made the mistake of mentioned that to cousins and as the saying goes "later that same day" they were through telling me what awful weeds they are and how Okies hate them! They take over. Then, they have Johnson grass all hate. We don't have that out here. Pepper trees are pretty and grow like weeds out here so one has to watch out for the sprouts since they look like pretty little ferns, at first. Sandi =^..^=

Silver Maples are weeds here, they are terrible to have around your home. They split easy, suck the ground dry and roots pop up everywhere. We made a mistake by letting one grow in our yard, now we are wondering how we are going to afford to get it down! Jackie

Hey All, I'm right here to the tune of $7.50 a minute. Was ready to trade in my husband yesterday. Wouldn't let me escape to outdoors for a cigarette. I asked man in charge if I had time to smoke? He said, "Sure. If you have a good brand, I'll join you." I said I'll take you and leave the husband : ) Hugs and XOXO. Gotta go. Norma

Norma: Are you still in N Z? Sandi

An't that the truth. Although I'd more likely be reading or watching a good movie. Norma

They also really flavor steaks, etc. cooked over them. We have a lot of these trees and around here, according to farmers, spring has not really arrived until they leaf out. And they are the last to lose their leafs in the fall. Sometimes they are a pain, literally, because of the thorns on them. Cattle and horses rub on the trees and get a thorn in their hide and it just keeps getting deeper and deeper...almost takes surgery to get it out.

Two brooms were in a closet for months, and finally they fell in love. They decided to get married, and what a sight that was! The Bride broom looked lovely in her white dress and the Groom broom looked dashing in his tuxedo. After the wedding, she pulled him aside and said, "Honey, I have news for you: we're going to have a little whisk broom!" "That's impossible!" he replied. "We haven't even swept together!"

This is a study of how plants originated and where they originated and how they spread to other parts of the globe. I have been to East Berlin back before the wall fell. Quite an experience! Pat

Two men died and went to Heaven, but they were met at the gate and St. Peter said they would have to go back to Earth for a while as there was no room for them. But he told them they could choose to be anything they wanted to be. So the first man said he wanted to go back as an Eagle. So pff he was gone - the second man said he wanted to go back as a Stud - Pfff he was gone. A few weeks later when they had room for them, St. Peter sent his messenger word to go find them and bring them back. He searched and came back with the first man - "He said he was an Eagle soaring over the Rocky Mountains, so he wasn't hard to find". But, the second one he could not find. "He said he is on a snow tire somewhere in S. Dakota and he couldn't find him".

Hi All, If my husband can used to doing his "thing and letting me do mine, when can accomplish something. He went up a tower (needlepoint thing) where they could see all around Auckland. Also they bungee jump (sp) from that thing. I stayed downstairs and enjoyed a strong coffee. No heights for me. More at another time. This things cost $7.50 for ten minutes. Luv to all cousins, Norma

There is one Daniel in Dorothy's book who married a Maupin and it is said that they had no children. But, if I find out I'm related to your husband that won't be a big deal! Why? I have family who are related to me in various ways from various sides. It does get confusing at times. LOL Sandi=^..^=

Doesn't look likely, my early Osborne are from Independence Va. Jackie

I looked at the book's info and this might be the first Osburn.

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter. "What are you doing?" She asked. "Hunting Flies" He responded. "Oh!, Killing any?" She asked. "Yep, 3 males, 2 Females", he replied. Intrigued, she asked. "How can you tell?" He responded, "3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone".

Can you give me some dates? I have many holes in the Osbornes and haven't ventured into the current years yet. My cousin, unfortunately, didn't document all of her info, so I have been doing a lot of back tracking. Jackie

Only traveling I have done was when I was in school and we went to Washington D. C. We went by train and I just loved it, I tried to stay awake and see the country side as long as it was daylight. Other than that, our nearly once a year trip to Kentucky for a one night stay was all we ever did. Since married we still go to Kentucky, but many years pass before we get there. Except for funerals that is. Had a chance to go to Penn? To the Valley Forge area about 12 years ago. My friend offered a round trip. My now ex-daughter-in-law was pregnant with my second granddaughter and was on complete bed rest. I was going there every day and taking care of her and my oldest granddaughter, Megan. Jackie

William already told me about your Osborne but I never bothered to mention mine as Papa's daddy was Elihu Burgin Osburn from OH. Elihu changed the spelling to Osborn and Papa changed it to Osborne. I have a copy of the Gatch Family Genealogy and see there are various spellings of the Osburn name. Sandi =^..^=
