April was not at all as we had planned. It had to be the most difficult month we’ve ever experienced. It was trying on our emotions and we were so drained that we couldn’t agree on how many days were even in April. The long and difficult month had made it even difficult for me to talk …
#028 – Jeep Update and Anniversary Fun!
We are excited to have the Jeep up and running again. The engine was pulled apart, just for some preventative maintenance before we go out west to Overland Expo. Robert and his Dad set out to replace the head gasket. Robert took the head to Mother’s Machine Shop in Springfield, MO to check for cracks …
#024 Frozen Lake, VHF & Push-up Poles
It was another weekend of Hamvangelist activities as Robert enjoyed VHF contesting. It all started on Friday when we went to Sarcoxie, MO for a Craigslist find. Then Saturday, packed up the Jeep and headed to Schell Osage Conservation Area. We hope you enjoy the show as we recount our little adventures. ” order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” …
#023 – A Case of Stir-Crazy-itis
Lately, we’ve been cooped up with our heads stuck in our computers. We’ve been busy working and planning. A bummer happened last weekend when a little catastrophe happened to Robert’s computer, leaving it out of commission for a few days. Robert has been obsessed with his Hamvangelist activities. Events are coming up and he cannot …
#017 – She’s Trying to Kill Me!
This weekend was a four-day holiday and should have been relaxing. But, nooooo! For at least six months, Gayla had “clean out shed” on the calendar. There was no avoiding the job. It’s on the calendar and the weather was perfect (darn it!) Not only did we need to clean out the shed, but …
Stir Crazy Weekend
Even though last weekend was pretty eventful, Robert and I seemed to get stir crazy. Maybe it’s because we felt our trip to TN was too short. Maybe we wanted to procrastinate on doing something. I don’t know, but the feeling of getting out and away from the RV overtook us the entire weekend. Antenna …
Our Trip Back In Time
Today, while working, Robert, got sidetracked with a post from Facebook friend, Paul Stickley. Paul posted a photo of some relatives from long ago. The photo was of a mom and four children whose last name happened to be Scrivener. Paul’s mother was one of the children pictured. Paul and Robert went back and forth with …
George C. McGough Nature Park at the Largo Narrows
It’s funny how you can pass by something hundreds of times and not know what you are really missing. Our friend, Debbie Burns, asked us to take some photos of the birds of prey she helps handle at a local nature park. She explained how close to Indian Rocks Beach the park was, but we …
Ten Years and Still Going Strong
My momma told me, “Don’t fall in love with a hairy legged guitar player,” and what did I do? Ten years ago today, Robert and I met at the Lucky 7 in Springfield, MO. Little did I realize how significant our meeting would really be! We formed a true friendship, never really admitting that we …
The Beeping Insanity
Our Norcold fridge has its quirks. The darn beeping drives us nuts!! When the door is ajar, it beeps. We are sure that it has something to do with the seal or the door latch. It seems to go in spurts. When we close the doors and walk away, it may begin to beep after …
