Table Rock Lake

Where Oasis was located

Mary Elizabeth Mahnkey at Oasis

I Have Found Beauty
I have found beauty In commonplace things, In a blue gingham apron
With crisply tied strings,

In freshly washed windows
With checked curtains brief,
In the mottled rose gray
Of a frost-bitten leaf,

Ruby red velvet
In a tiny toad stool,
Silky green plush
In a polliwog pool.

Dawn and Dina

Ozarks Haints N Hooch features two sisters from the Ozarks, Dawn Larsen and Dina Larsen Gillman. They gather bi-monthly remotely from two different states to offer stories about Ozark ghosts, monsters, superstitions, people, places, lore, and history - with a bonus twist, a cocktail themed to the feature story. Grab some hooch and join them, but know that “this ain’t no fancy, academic, check your references, kinda deal. We are two sisters from the Ozarks sipping and spewing about haints, hooch, and history.”
