Noble Oklahoma is where I grew up and went to school. Its where my parent live and where I made all my childhood friends. They say home is where the heart is and its where my heart lies. I loved Noble, where we have great restaurants and lots of rose rocks because it is the rose rock capital of the world. I love my home town.

ReplyDeleteAccording to E.L. Gilmore, a Cherokee storyteller, folklore states, "God, looking down from heaven, decided to commemorate the courageous Cherokees. As the blood of the braves and the tears of the maidens fell to the ground, they were turned to stones in the shape of a rose."
... Wow! I will file this away in my "learn something new every day" file for today. Thank you!
