I came across something so funny this afternoon I had to share it… Continue reading

The mind wanders where it will…
I woke up this morning and I was laying in bed letting my mind wander. It started out with a message I’d picked up on my phone last night from Rose, the woman who wants us to come up to Tok, AK. Continue reading
Veteran’s Day
Today has been a somewhat frustrating day. Actually, it started last night when we lost electricity from the RV park’s post that we plug into. Mark couldn’t make his morning coffee and that is never a good start to the day! Continue reading
From Reno, NV
We had a shorter drive today; about three hours. In that time I finished reading the book we’ve been working on this whole trip. Interestingly I was right all along about who the killer was. I’d make a good investigator! Mark and I talked about it, and that’s probably what makes me such a good editor. I make connections and catch incongruities. I guess it would be safer to stick with editing! Continue reading
From Rock Springs, WY
This morning I had a suspicion that it was going to be cold today, so I put long johns on under my clothes. When we opened the blinds, my suspicions were confirmed when we saw a light dusting of snow on the picnic tables and the leaves on the ground. The ground itself was warm enough that the snow hadn’t stuck. Continue reading
Seeing a country dentist
I had an infection in my gums, so I mentioned it to my doctor while I was seeing him about something else. He put me on an antibiotic but suggested I see a dentist, so one week later I was sitting in a dentist’s chair. Continue reading
The beginning of the end
This weekend begins the five weeks of the Trail of Terror that mark our last five weeks in Oklahoma. Last night all the Workampers walked through the trail to see what it will look like in the dark. Mark and I were instructed on what to do in the upside down room to which we’ve been assigned. Continue reading
Amish with outside influences
Mark and I were in Muskogee for a couple of appointments this morning, which ended at lunch time. I have noticed a big bill board for an Amish restaurant in the area, so we decided to try it. The food was excellent, but the atmosphere was decidedly not Amish. Continue reading
Things I’ve learned in Oklahoma, Part 2
A prize to Capi Reed from Reedwood Friends Church. She responded to my last post asking if the sound we’ve been hearing that the locals identified as being crickets could actually be cicadas. I went to YouTube and found what a cicada sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mah26og11ms. Sure enough; that’s it! Oklahomans should be ashamed that a Portlander did better than them, and from only a verbal description! Continue reading
Things I’ve learned in Oklahoma
There are so many things about Oklahoma that make it a whole different culture from what I’m used to. This city girl has learned a lot about living in the country. I was just reminded of it again as I was sitting here at the Laundromat watching a man ride by the post office across the street on his horse. Continue reading
