Suddenly Southern: We Fell Into a Black Hole...
http://jepsenoklahomabound.blogspot.com/2013/05/we-fell-into-black-hole.html
Southern Adventures Through Northern Eyes. Tuesday, May 28, 2013. We Fell Into a Black Hole. As a kid did you ever marvel at Grandads stories of what he and his brothers did for fun instead of watching TV because (GASP) it hadn't been invented yet! And if he was lucky he had a radio to listen to favorite programs being broadcast over the airwaves. Did you sit in shock and total disbelief when he said he or his parents traveled by trains? Did you once think 'Pony Express' was a figure of speech? My first ...

Suddenly Southern: April 2013
http://jepsenoklahomabound.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Southern Adventures Through Northern Eyes. Monday, April 22, 2013. I had another one of those “OH MY GOSH WHAT HAVE I DONE” moments. I only wish I could share it in person so I could add the funny southern accent. I drove to the local UPS to pick up a package. The UPS driver couldn't find us, but I'm used to that already. We went through years of the local UPS and. Fed Ex drivers not being able to find our MN home. Today,. Ok, we don't need to worry about that then.” huh? I so ba dly wanted to ask :.

Suddenly Southern: January 2014
http://jepsenoklahomabound.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Southern Adventures Through Northern Eyes. Thursday, January 16, 2014. That's right, we finally sold our Minnesota house! It's been 298 days since I closed the door to our Elk River home for the last time. A lot has happened since then. I still can't believe how fast time flies. It's bittersweet really. We have a lot of good memories in that house. Those walls have heard a lot of laughs, seen a few tears and have definitely left a mark on our hearts. I'll be the first to admit this wasn't easy but it was...

Suddenly Southern: Ed Galloway's Totem Pole
http://jepsenoklahomabound.blogspot.com/2014/03/ed-galloways-totem-pole.html
Southern Adventures Through Northern Eyes. Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Ed Galloway's Totem Pole. Most people who drive through Oklahoma end up taking Hwy 35 or one of the other major highways. But if you're not in a hurry there are a lot of interesting things to see if you take good'ol Route 66. One such quirky sight to see is a totem pole in Foyil, Oklahoma. Ed's wife once taunted him with her own variation of Joyce Kilmer's poem Trees:. It costs nothing to come and admire Ed's artwork. This is a very ...

Suddenly Southern: I See God
http://jepsenoklahomabound.blogspot.com/2013/06/i-see-god.html
Southern Adventures Through Northern Eyes. Monday, June 3, 2013. I knew we were moving to the Bible Belt of the world and a few people, us including, joked about what type of people lived here and what they would think of us beer making, wine making Yankees. Would we be shunned for drinking a glass of wine on a week night? What would people think when they saw us moving all our stuff packed in liqueur boxes! Would people stay clear of us for playing cards? How about dice games? I wasn't so sure about thi...

Southern Adventures Through Northern Eyes. Monday, July 1, 2013. Exploring the Pensacola Dam; Part 2. GRDA (Grand River Dam Authority). As promised here is part 2 of the Pensacola Dam blog I wrote a few weeks ago. I was blessed to have a dear friend from Minnesota come visit me with her daughter, over the weekend.

Suddenly Southern: Storm Shelter
http://jepsenoklahomabound.blogspot.com/2014/05/storm-shelter.html
Southern Adventures Through Northern Eyes. Monday, May 19, 2014. Even though we made it through our first stormy May without any storm damage in our area, our hearts were breaking with the people of Moore. Oklahoma. We saw first hand how devastating these storms can be. We spent hours watching storm after storm come blowing in from Tulsa heading our way. The idea of taking shelter in a bathroom was not my idea of safety but it was the only place we could go. On Monday, April 28th Hausners. They never did...

Suddenly Southern: What's Eating You?
http://jepsenoklahomabound.blogspot.com/2013/07/whats-eating-you.html
Southern Adventures Through Northern Eyes. Wednesday, July 17, 2013. Bugs, spiders, and snakes oh my! Although Oklahoma has a few mosquitoes we have no where near as many as Minnesota. What we lack in mosquitoes we more than make up for in big, ugly, venomous, disease infested bugs. Bites from Fire Ants. I don't think I want to know any more. I'm going to dust my house house with diatomaceous earth now. Also known as the Assassin Bug. Sounds fun huh? Are you still with me? Since there is so much to cover...
