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

When I spoke with Jamey yesterday, he said he’d like to see more pictures of Marval. I had mentioned last night that pictures are posted on Marval’s Facebook page, but then I got to looking at their page and it doesn’t look like they’ve posted new pictures since March 25th, so I am dedicating this blog to showing pictures from around the park.

This morning was the start of Sunday morning breakfasts for the season at Marval, and it’s the only weekend when moms get to eat free with a paying family member, so Mark and I headed over so we could have breakfast at 7:30 before starting work at 8:00. For $5.00 (the price of Mark’s meal) Mark had eggs, sausage and biscuit, and orange juice. I had a biscuit with sausage gravy and a sausage patty as well as orange juice and chocolate milk. It was a filling breakfast, and so nice not to have to fix breakfast and do dishes! Continue reading
My wish for all of you mothers out there is that your children and spouses will show their appreciation of you for Mother’s Day. I certainly intend to tell my mother how much I appreciate her. Love you, Mom! 😉 Continue reading
Mark and I have been busier than a one-armed paper hanger. Oh wait — he is one-armed! 😉 Continue reading
