A-li-he-li-s-di Tso-i-ne-i-ga

Happy Wednesday the day after the "Big Event". I have no pictures so I am posting a wallpaper from the Cherokee website and am really wanting to add a couple of thoughts here:
- Language
- Heritage Seed Project
- Culture and Tourism

And my basic words for the week:
Hello-O si yo
How are you?-To hi tsu?
Fine-O s da
And you?-Ni hi na
Okay-Ho wa
Thank you-Wa do
Yes- vv ii
No-Thla
I don’t know-Thla ya gwan ta

Gardening at Elder Que-Nv-Sv

After the wonderfully optimistic squash literally disintegrated overnight I was a little pessimistic about my "Square Foot Gardening" expertise. However the basil, peppers and tomatoes --well actually I don't how well these will turn out but all else has grown quite well!

Since these are entirely notes to myself I need to make several points:
- Don't grow the tall stuff in front of the small stuff
- The location of the garden is PERFECT!
- Use every single space available
- Where the heck is the eggplant???
- Do tomatoes, do peppers, do basil, do rosemary, do zuchinni, do EGGPLANT!!

Central Oklahoma Cherokee Alliance

COCA officers-members-particpants will be meeting this evening to finalize plans for the "Big Event" scheduled in three weeks at the Oklahoma History Center. A wonderful evening of full events is planned ---- and I am supposed to con tribute some sort of table decoration. This should be interesting.

I smile with "Chinese Eyes"

This was a statement one of my kiddos made during therapy last week. Since he is Chinese I take this as a dear and precious compliment. So here is a picture of me with Patrick's new flash. I reminded him I wanted to look no more than 38 years old and ---- much more importantly ---- I want lots and lots of new pictures of my grandchildren!!
