Making Catbeds: Part 1
Beggs, OK, January 2026 We wanted to get a Christmas Tree cat bed this year, so we could use it as our Christmas tree instead of making one. The Santa Hat cat bed is a bit ragged looking, and it is, well frankly, a bit flaccid. Mrs Claus put in an order for a certain…

What the Actual Picnic Table!
Tulsa RV Ranch, OK, December 2025 No, this is not a substitute swear word. With the weather changing, having to setup a workspace, all the appointments, and unexpected emergencies, we were not sure the picnic table would get done before it was too cold to paint. (Other people’s emergencies, not ours.) It should have taken…
