  • Happy Mother’s Day!

    May 11, 2025 (Note: The videos should work on the iPhone now) John and I have been very fortunate to have wonderful Moms. They took care of us through thick and thin. They always loved us, even when we were being naughty, cranky and annoying. This is our way of thanking and remembering our Mom’s…

  • This is the End …

    Okmulgee, OK my only friend, the end. (The Doors.) This is the end – of the dumpsters. This one had a lot more yard waste in it than the others. It also had some stuff from John’s brother’s and sister’s house. Dumpster #5 is only about 90%-95% full because some guy came by and offered…

  • Sunset Over Dumpster #4

    Okmulgee, OK Dumpster #4 is the last full dumpster we need for mom’s house. We think we only filled it about 95%. There is some space for flat stuff on top, but we did not have any flat trash left. Most of the items remaining in the house belong to John’s brother or are his…

  • Is He a Hasom Boy?

    Okmulgee, OK So, John’s mom did not really throw away anything related to the family. We ran across this letter in an old file folder. It is from John’s aunt to his mom. We are guessing that this written when his aunt was very young, but there is no date written on it. Maybe it…

  • We have been a bit busy…

    Okmulgee, OK As you may have seen in a post earlier in the year, John’s mom passed away in 2024. We completed our travel circuit for 2024 and arrived in Oklahoma in November 2024. We had some stuff we needed to do, such as finish caulking the trailer, insulating the dump tank pipes, putting up…

  • Rhema Christmas Light

    Broken Arrow, OK Note: There are multiple images and videos of moderate to large size that might take some time to load. We are trying a static cover image for the video to make the page load faster. If you watch the video, it might take a bit to load. The Rhema Bible Training College…

  • New Wheels!!

    After 9 years of loving my Sonata, I’ve traded the Sonata in for a SUV. I looked at current Sonata models, but the only one with similar features as my 9 year old Sonata is the Sonata Hybrid Limited. I’m not a fan of anything hybrid or electric. Mostly because we mostly drive in rural…

  • Making Christmas (Trees)

    Beggs, OK So, what do you do for a Christmas tree when your combined living room, kitchen, and dining room is about 13’x12′. You might think, “Oh, you buy a small tree and store it for the year!”. Except, we do not have enough storage space. “Oh, you buy a small tree, and throw it…

  • Happy Thanksgiving

    We had Thanksgiving Lunch* at John’s aunt’s house this year. There was turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, dinner rolls, crescent rolls, deviled eggs, salad, stuffing, sage sausage stuffing, fruit salad fluff, cranberry jelly, peach pie, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. I am sure I am missing something. All the food was great, and…

  • Remember When!

    As a kid most of my aunts and uncles on my dad side of the family live locally. Usually once a year, the out of towners would come in. I remember the large get togethers and all the fun. Especially since my cousins were of similar age. When I was at my dad’s house, he…
