Sunday October 7, 2011

 

Things are going pretty well as we continue to work at Amazon.com here in Coffeyville, Kansas.  We have both had colds but Bob is back to normal and I am almost there…quite a few of us have been sick.

Weather continues to be nice…we had a couple of nights below freezing but mostly good weather.  I do have to say that yesterday we felt the effects of the earthquake that struck north/central Oklahoma.  There was a quake in the early morning hours and then last night we were watching the local news out of Tulsa when the motorhome started swaying…the newscaster announced that Tulsa had just experienced another earthquake and that it was stronger than the one they had early that morning.  It only lasted a few seconds and if we had not heard the news cast we probably would have thought it was a strong gust of wind.  Tulsa is about 70 miles south of Coffeyville…we are right on the Kansas/Oklahoma line.

We had to work Halloween night but Cissy got to go out and parade around the RV park in her Halloween costume that afternoon…she was so cute!

Friday night we were sent home at lunch time (10:00 pm) from Amazon…there was a problem with the water, or lack of, so they closed the entire building.  Several of us went to the Pizza Hut to eat and enjoy our unexpected time off.

I have to learn how to transfer pictures from my phone to my computer without them coming out so poorly…sorry guys. 

Today we drove to Pawhuska, OK…did not really start out to go there but that’s where we ended up.  Interesting…it is home to the Osage Nation.  The town is small…around 3,000 people and not very pretty.  I did think the Episcopal Church was attractive.017019

I think there was a church on almost every corner in town.

Pawhuska is supposedly the site of the first Boy Scout troop in America…1909.020021

On our way home we stopped in Bartlesville, OK and spent about an hour at the Osage Casino…not winners tonight.

Moving on.
