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
Our weekend

Tag Archives: RV full-timers
Life goes on…
There’s been an outpouring of notes and prayers sent to us in the last few days. Thank you for that. This morning Mark’s hand was hurting so he took his pain medication. It made him kind of dizzy and drowsy so he took a nap. That was the last pain pill he needed today. He’s going to try to go with just Ibuprofin if he needs anything during the work week, but as of this evening he was feeling pretty good. Continue reading
Home repairs
Yesterday we broke camp to drive up the hill and fill our propane tank. It’s a rather arduous procedure that includes putting the cats in our car because no living thing is supposed to be in the RV when they’re filling the propane. We have to bring in the slide-out and the awnings and lift up the levelers. Mark also attached the nozzle that will allow us to use an external propane tank from now on so we won’t have to break camp every time we need propane. Continue reading
That darn cat!
Last evening Mark and I had the front door open but the screen door shut to let in a cool breeze. We were both working on our laptops with our backs to the door. I should have known something was wrong when I kept having to swat at one flying bug after another. When we finally did turn around and look, the screen door was wide open and Dobby was nowhere to be seen. Continue reading
To Arkansas and back
First, I’d like to share something my dad told me after my last post. He said that a nest of squirrels is called a drey. If you spell dray with an a, it’s a horse-drawn carriage. Also, contrary to reports you have apparently been hearing back west, our weather today was in the 80’s and muggy, not snowy. We are, however, expecting a lot of rain and wind to hit tomorrow with possible thunderstorms. Continue reading
Another state under my belt
Yesterday (Tuesday) was the start of our weekend and for once we didn’t have any appointments scheduled in Muskogee, so we decided to go east instead. Mark has been looking for a part to connect an auxilary propane tank to our RV so we don’t have to drive up to get propane in our tank every time we run out. It was suggested that we might find the part at a place called Graingers in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Continue reading
Great balls of fire!
As I write, we are directly in a lightning storm. I mean, there’s no counting 1-1000, 2-1000… for this one. The whole area around us turns as bright as day for a few seconds and then there’s a crack and a rumble that rattles the floor beneath us. It keeps going every five seconds or so. Rain is pounding down on top of us. I’ve never seen anything like this! Continue reading
Gore: the trout fishing capital of Oklahoma
Gore is such a small town that I think it mainly survives because of the folks Marval Resort brings in. Being right on the river, Marval caters to a lot of fishermen. The city stocks the river with trout and Marval has special events for the fishermen who come. All of this relies on the water in the river. Continue reading
Hidden treasure!
We were going to stay home and work on laundry and stuff today, but we needed to make a phone call and our cell phone wasn’t getting reception so we drove into Gore. We were there around lunch time and Mark thought he remembered seeing a hamburger place in Gore, so we went looking for it. Continue reading
Exploring our new town
This morning Mark and I slept in, but when we woke up we felt refreshed and ready to do a little exploring. Continue reading
