Thanks, I was just in Mena yesterday, selling
fossils, I have been in the Mts there quite a lot.
I have samples of Turquoise, Manganese, Gold,
Crystals, that came from there.

I sell fossil ferns from local coal mines.
The mines are being reclaimed & time is running
out on my collecting.

I just came across this fossis, I must say it's nice to put a face to a name.
You must have had a childhood that most kids would just love. Mine was in a City in a post war Britain. Times were hard and food was scares, I would have given anything to have lived in a Countryside as beautiful as you did.

We lived with kerosene lamps, wood stoves, Ice boxes, (It was delivered in blocks), we drew our water from a drilled well, we raised garden vegetables, beef, hogs, chickens, we always had plenty of food, but we didn't have much money.
We cut & baled our hay, raised corn for the animals, I had my own horse to ride.
It was a life I will 'always cherish'.

You're a lucky man Fossis. Your backyard is food for the soul.

Nice spot to spend a lifetime.

Owa chita. Choctaw word. You got bumped back up, so I looked again. It is a great part of the country there in Little Dixie, once you get used to the heat and humidity. I never rolled logs, but most of these folks have never lived until they haul hay bales in southeast Oklahoma. I sure won't forget it. Good pic.
