Oklahoma trip...


had onion fried burgers...

it's famous now...

It's being loved again...
and it's dueled out!


an unusual sight...
how did we ever travel with three of us back there?

We got the floors done... upstairs and down.


saying Goodbye...



Visited our house in Dover...

we're baking...

 What I've learned after 5 months with no stove/oven...

you can bake cornbread in your crock pot...
you can "bake" cookies in an electric skillet...


i placed that last tile and painted the wall...


we got the stove hooked up last night...
and immediately baked a pizza... and some cookies... 

WE HAVE AN OVEN!!!
