Katherine's Story

Life I lived the first 49 years of my life in Norfolk, basically in the same area, never wanted to venture away from my old neighborhood. In 2002 I retired from the City of Norfolk after serving, I mean working for 30 years in the Welfare Department (Welfare Fraud)and we moved to Blackwell Oklahoma. My greatest accomplishment is my son, Charlie who was due on my 40th birthday but being the Irishman that he is, he was late.I am enjoying the quiet life in Smalltown, USA, watching and enjoying my son growing up. We have gained a family member, we now have custody (until death us do part) of my just turned 16 year old nephew, Rudy Reilly (he has been with us since 10/10). He is on the Blackwell High School football and wrestling team and he is a pretty good kid. Our son is in his 2nd year of college and will graduate in December with his degree in Journalism and he is going on to either Oklahoma State University (OSU) in Stillwater, Oklahoma or Northeastern State University (NSU) in Tahlequah, Oklahoma to get his teaching degree - he wants to be a high school English teacher, Workplace: I worked for the Blackwell Public Schools from 2003 to 2007 until I decided it was time to try something else. Family: My son is in the 10th grade now - he is very active in school - he is part of the football team this year - he is does all of the video taping of all games and practices - he travels with the team and is just one of the team in everyway possible. He surprised me by trying out and getting a part in the high school play "West Side Story" and much to our surprise, he can actually sing. He wants to be a lawyer when he grows up - I am responsible for that because when he was little, he used to go to court with me on my welfare fraud cases and all of the ju...Expand for more
dges and attorneys were always nice to him and he found out he can argue with the best of them and that is what attorneys do. He wants to be a prosecuting attorney - he isn't sure he wants to sell his soul to the devil to be a defense attorney. John is the Animal Control Officer here in Blackwell and he loves his job. We have our own mini farm going on at our house. We have almost 2 acres with our property going down to the river and we live on a deadend street with only two other houses. We have 4 dogs, 5 cats, 3 possums that we have had since birth, 1 white rabbit and at least 40 turtles (box, painters and 2 allegator snappers). We have had horses (John brings home critters that he can not keep at the shelter), pigmy goats, and a variety of wild birds. We all refer to John as the Blackwell Dr. Doolittle!!! He loves animals and would rather deal with them then the human animals that he has to also deal with. My son, Charlie works for the Blackwell Journal Tribune as a reporter/staff writer and recently he received an invitation to interview Gene Simmons of Kiss, to which he responded heck yea!! Gene Simmons is in partnership with the Kaw Nation Indian Tribe here in Kay County, to build a casino resort and he was here last week to do a concert. Charlie took me as his camera person and we got to interview him, one on one and it was so much fun. He is a flirt and insisted that I sit beside him, close and he kept bumping his leg against mine but very nice and extremely interesting to talk to. When the casino is done and they have their grand opening, the whole Kiss Band will be here and I look forward to that interview as well. Who would have thought we would have ever had the opportunity to meet Gene Simmons out here in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma!

My Marine taught me if an American flag is flying upside down it is a sign of distress…for the uneducated here it is:
Last fall, I had a new flock of birds show up, Turkey Vultures, and they are back for the summer. I guess somewhere in the Animal Kingdom as soon as they cross into Oklahoma, there must be a sign with directions to my house
I really wish Amazon would stop sending us cats😂
