If we were in Fairbanks right now, we would be cooking two gigantic turkeys, making 25 pounds of mashed potatoes, setting up the house for a sit-down dinner for 50, there would be at least 10 pies in the pantry and a coconut cake and cranberry sauce and all the rest (sweet potatoes, stuffing, brussel… Continue reading Thanksgiving

First, this is from my site, ryandecorso.us, where you should go to because I post photos on there and stuff. Sometime later today I’ll have new photos up, which are much better than my old mediocre ones that I’m going to take down. Been a long time since my last post, so I’ll go over… Continue reading Port Isabel, Texas

We passed through Kansas and Oklahoma, and are a now in Texas. The most… Continue reading Oklahoma, Kansas, and a Little bit of Texas – Jack
