our travels to this point
 

ok got activated and ready to set up shop.Hello one and all,I am a refugee from the AK side of town,My name is Cleon. and i hope i bring a diverse point of view to these halls of sanctity.i live in a small town in eastern Oklahoma,called Muskogee,made famous by Mr. Merle Haggard.this is a very conservitive town of heavy hitting bible thumpers ,rednecks and various gang bangers and the like.

myself ,my wife Cheri and my 2 girls Cheyene,Daisy And adopted boy,Buddie live in the heart of what is fondly known as 18th street.a recovering war zone from the crack wars of the 80's and 90's.we are well received and live safely but cautiously.when the police come through here they travel 4 deep to a car not the usual single or double officer to a car. but none the less this is our home now.we at one time were on top of the world.

unforeseen circumstances with the parents and my wife's health and mine have bought us back to Muskogee.we lived in Denver ,Colorado before this and both worked at career jobs at K-mart.in '98 my mother suffered a massive stroke were i needed to take off of work to help care for her.we sold our hose and much of our possessions to move in with them.and in 2000 we were able to move back out and into a nice apartment.my parents moved back to Muskogee to their birthplace.

soon after my father sent for us to move to Muskogee also to help them with things.once again we were uprooted.we soon found employment here in Muskogee at and earned less than half of what we earned in Colorado.then in '06 my wife suffered a massive stroke that left her paralyzed and not able to communicate.and i had been managing my own health issues that had evolved from my military days(non combat related).we stayed in our house till '10 living off of our credit cards and me working when i could.my dad passed in '08 and my mom in '09

we stayed in our house that was across the street from parents house for another year till we had to get out due to it being in foreclosure.we at one time had a credit score of 800 and better. and know we live from disability check and what i make on ebay selling off our possessions.so here we are at this stage of our lives.and boy do i have some opinions about things.this is or family pictures

ok part 2 of our journey, We are a very strong Christian family.and are happy for the most part and satisfied with our situation.we live frugally,but have funds to pursue or hobbies my wife likes jigsaw puzzles and goes to a daycare type facility Mon-Fri she is high strung and likes to adopt all the stray dogs on the neighborhood. me i love music and like to get a nice piece of stereo equipment when funds allow.Daisy is the tiny yorkie and Cheyene is the medium terrier mix.and Buddie is the blue english bulldog we are keeping for a freind.that is us in a nut shell. more to come.
