We are getting a pretty good idea what this summer will be like this weekend. One thing I can say about it is that I will have a more difficult time blogging or e-mailing because when the park is full, the internet won’t work. I am writing this while sitting in a McDonalds in Salisaw. Continue reading
Today was beautiful with puffy white clouds in the blue sky. Mark and I took the first day of our weekend to do the laundry, and then this evening we went with Cathy and Clyde to the LDS church to do some more work on genealogy. Continue reading
It was a dark and stormy day… Continue reading
We have the weather channel on. My heart goes out to Moore, OK where children were killed in their school this afternoon. Continue reading
Last night after we turned the weather channel and the lights off, Mark and I prayed for safety here at Marval and for Loraine and Adrian who left here to work in Coffeeville. There was no storm last night, at least not here. Storms are still predicted for today, but there’s a storm shelter right next to the Activity Center where we’ll be working. Keep us in your prayers
I’m going to keep this short tonight. One of our campers came in to pick up her family’s ceramics this evening, and as they were leaving I said, “We’ll be open again tomorrow at 8:30!” She said, “We’re leaving early because a tornado just touched down in Edmond near our home. We’re anxious to get back and see if we still have a roof!” Continue reading
I failed to mention that yesterday we had a horse race for our outdoor activity. Five pre-teen and teenaged girls entered. Each was given a hobby horse. The paved road around our park is half a mile long. I posted Mark at the far end of the track with a camera (to try to prevent cutting corners and cheating) and sent the girls around.

The kids that have been here all week that I thought might be Mennonite turn out to be Holiness. I’m glad they aren’t Mennonite because yesterday the boys broke Mark’s jousting pole in front of several Workamper witnesses. Mark built that left-handed, so he was pretty upset. It’s fixable, but he’s waiting till just before the jousting tournament today to put it back out. Continue reading
Yesterday Mark went in to work for four hours because he has to go to the VA tomorrow morning. He worked on painting our jousting pole. If it ever stops raining long enough, I’ll get a picture of it to send. Continue reading
This coming weekend is Medieval Times Weekend. We’ve been making preparations for it. Continue reading
