What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Clarksville Arkansas Pictures

 Took a few pictures of Clarksville on our return home trip from Arkansas.  My father served here, or went to school here when he was in the Navy during WWII.  He was studying radio.  The Navy had leased the university; University of the Ozarks sponsored by the Presbyterian Church.  




This is the campus chapel

The Naval stationary from the school included a picture of this building during the war

I have a picture of my dad at the train station

Animals from the Gerdt Pohlsander Estate. 2019

 When we visited Grandma and Grandpa's cabin in 2019, we were amazed at how many pets and animals they had between them and Gerdt's family.  



Brandon even had a pet porcupine.

July 4 fireworks 2019

 We were in Marshall for July 4th.  This included a nice dinner with Gerdt and Stefanie.  Stefanie made a nice July 4th pie with lots of fruit. 

Because we didn't buy fireworks until the day before they were half price in Marshall.  We were able to get quite a few.  Tony and Gerdt's son helped set them off.













Pictures of the Buffalo River Arkansas

 In 2019 while we were in Arkansas I took a drive down to the Buffalo River the quickest cross country route form Grandma and Grandpa Pohlsanders.  The road was pretty rough but passable.  It is off Highway 27 outside of Marshall and going north or down to the river.  I made it to South Maumee campground on the south side of the river..  South Maumee, because of a bend in the is north of North Maumee which is on the north side of the river.  It looked like the facility was pretty nice.  Lots of gravel to throw rocks into the river.
