We all make mistakes; no one is perfect. One of the things I do at The
Record office is to read proofs— in other words, I read what I and others
have written and make corrections when needed. I make my share of mis-
takes, willingly admitting to my own errors, for no one is perfect.
But I do urge everyone to re-read what they have written before they
send it off to others. Or let some trusted friend, relative or associate look it
over, just in case. I recently received a letter which had so many mistakes
I just had to take out my red pencil and mark them. My correspondent
will never know. But it made me realize once more that reading what one
has written, with an unjaundieed eye, is always a good idea. (Incidentally,
I just invented "unjaundieed," it being the opposite of jaundiced, which
means "state or attitude characterized by envy, distaste or hostility," none
of which enter into this diatr ibe n any way.)
And when have I had the need or opportunity to use "diatribe" before!
The archaic meaning of diatr ibe, by the way, is "a prolonged discourse."
Time to drop the whole subject, seems to me.
New to me are the terms "girlfriend" and "boyfriend." My generation
would have hyphenated both, but no longer. A little tighter relationship, I
would suppose.
Since my dictionary was handy I looked up "great-grands" as in "great-
grandfather" and "great-grandmother." But neither one s recognized.
Alas and alack!
Either I am outdated or my dictionary needs to be updated. For there
are a lot of us out there, great-grands, I mean.

Three new exhibits open at
the Metcalfe Museum
By Lynn Deal, Curator
DURHAM, OK—"Nature Beckons" is the ti-
tle of the new 2008 Augusta Metcalfe exhibit
at the Break O'Day Farm and Metcalfe Mu-
seum, Inc. Fifty years of landscapes are fea-
tured in thirty historic Metcalfe paintings.
"Fall on the Washita," "Canyon at Shamrock,
Texas," and "Palo Duro Canyon" are some of
the original works displayed until May 27.
Contemporary artists Peggy Carr and
Sarah Jrab are also featured in the Metcalfe
gallery until May 27. Carr's exhibit "Mem-
ories as Heirlooms: A Reconstruction of the
Remembered" depicts sketches and paint-
ngs that commemorate personal memories.
Peaceful and thought invoking, Carr's
pieces include "Chick's Kiss," a watercolor
that shows a child's delight in playing with
baby chickens. "Grandma's Gasp" visual-
zes Carr's memory of her grandmother n-
structing painting techniques, while "Prodi-
gal Father'" is a hand-colored limited edition
print from Carr's Amish series. As a whole,
Carr's art makes a strong statement about
feelings and beliefs that come together in this
exhibition and illustrate the importance of
personal collective imagery.
Sarah Jrab's photograph and photo col-
lages are vibrant, action-oriented pieces
that feature cowboys and horses. "Zac" de-
picts a mature cowboy contemplating work,
while "Buck" displays several images of a
single horse n a field. Jrab's photographs
feature horses in "I'll Scratch Your Back If
You Scratch Mine" and a rodeo scene entitled
"American Pride." "Self Portrait" is of par-
ticular nterest, as Jrab has captured herself
"Fall on the Washita" by Augusta Metcalfe is
now on display at the Break O'Day Farm and
Metcalfe Museum, near Durham, Oklahoma.
