This weekend my husband, daughter, and I went to Tahlequah to do some research on my husband’s Cherokee side of the family at the Cherokee Heritage Center and Tsa La Gi village. It was a splendid trip all around! ‘Twas a beautiful Spring day, and all of Tahlequah was in bloom. If you’ve never been there, [...]
