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
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
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 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
Tomorrow (the 14th) is Mark’s birthday, so I told him we could go look for his present today since we go back to work tomorrow. He has been wanting a big wind chime with a deep tone for most of the time I’ve been with him, so I looked online to try to find stores in the area that sell wind chimes. Continue reading
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
Today was the second day of our weekend. I can hardly wait for it to be over so we can get back to work. How many times in my life has anyone heard me say that? 😉 Continue reading
For those of you who prayed us through, your prayers have been answered. We are in our new home! Continue reading
For those of you who have been praying about the snow storms ahead of us, God has answered in a mighty way. We have been driving on dry pavement even where there have been patches of snow on the side of the road. The skies have been blue and the sun has been shining. Pray us through one more day and we’ll be there! Continue reading
Every time Mark starts the engine on the RV, our cats run to their stations in the bedroom. Dobby hides under the night stand on my side of the bed. If Kimba doesn’t hide under the night stand on Mark’s side, we find her as a lump under the covers of the bed. Today was a red letter day! More about that later… Continue reading
