    I am a 74 year old widow living in Kansas. I lost my hubby of 55 years last year. I fractured two vertebrae in April. I spent some time in the hospital. I am finally getting better. My husband and I loved travel, fishing and the magical beauty of nature. Your videos have kept me entertained during my long recovery. My goal is to do an Alaskan cruise sometime soon. Thank you. Jill Longstaff

    Hi y’all l love ur family the way u use raspberries & garden veggies. A clean living no alcohol. Many years ago l did have a beer after l washed my car. Also l decided not to drink. I take pain meds & l think it’s the best way to live. It makes life simple. Keep on living a wonderful life u & Mark r setting the bar high with great examples of how to live a clean life. Enjoy u travels & life in Alaska. It reminds me how my family did road trips & camping in our tent trailer that my Dad built & ordered canvas to fit. Great momories from childhood. ❤B.

    Nice glasses Everette. "I don't remember what the sun looks like"😅

    I want to spend a day on the beach with the waterfall. After I explore it, I would spend the rest of the time reading & in worship. What an awesome place!!!
    The fishing trip with Grandpa was pretty cool, I miss fishing, but I know Alaska would be too cold for me!!!
    Great video, Lauren, I loved it! ❤️
    I will be praying for Safe Travels for the, Hamm Family, Land, Sea, & Sky! 🙏
