  • Here Kitty Kitty

    March 2025 Mackie is obsessed with fitting in small boxes. Worst part is he hangs his head over and chokes himself. John solution was putting a roller under the flap. Finally, Mackie fit as much as he could into the box. Though the box still does not close :-). Cleo is a talker. Seeing her…

  • Is He a Hasom Boy?

    Okmulgee, OK, January 2025 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.…
