For you old timers out there in Broken Arrow, (and from my last visit back home) I think ya'll hang out at the Daylight Donut shop on Main Street in the morning drinking coffee and telling stories! My Grandparents (now passed on) were Ed and Ester Apple who owned a farm in Broken Arrow on the banks of the Arkansas River. Grandpa Ed Apple's farm was the last farm in Tulsa County on County Line Road between Coweta and Bixby.  

My Doctor, Doctor Alvin Gerner
I was the first born child, Doctor Alvin Gerner ever delivered in Broken Arrow at his Clinic on Main St. in 1957. Hence I hold Alvin as my middle name in honor of Doctor Alvin Gerner! Doctor Gerner later in his life purchased my Grandparents farm after Ed had passed away and held a yearly event called Camp Band-Aid to teach children about first aid. He was a great man too who is now deceased and helped many in his lifetime. 

Pecans & Yellow Meats
I remember as a young child in the 1960’s harvesting “yellow meat” delicious water melons and picking up pecans all day long from pecan trees my grandfather Ed sent to market!. My Dad Barney Weaver would have us layout huge black plastic tarps around the entire base of the trees and would climb the trees and shake down the pecans from branch to branch. Grandpa Ed was getting to old to be climbing trees (but to tough to stop) and my two older brothers and I worked hard picking up the pecans and water melons for market! Sometimes we gathered up to 20 bushels of pecans a day putting them into 75lb burlap bags.

Sometimes for reward of a good days work we were allowed to bust open a few “yellows meats” to eat the hearts (the best part) out of the melons. "Pooh" Grandpa Ed's dog would catch and kill the possums.

My Dad, my brothers Jack, Bill and I would go down to the Arkansas river to swim in the summer time after work and would scream when mean black and red dry-wood ants got into our tennis shoes and clothes after swimming and sometimes we came back with chigger bites or ticks. Man, what a great time we had on Grandpa Ed’s farm learning lessons and learning how to work hard!

Running For The Dinner Bell
We would run for the dinner bell when Grandma Ester hollered and man she could holler loud and be heard for miles out in the quiet countryside. I think that’s why Okies are so tough in football! You give an Okie farm boy a pig skin who’s been hurdling barbed wire fences all his life running for the dinner bell and you get one tough football player that can “Run like the dickens is on fire”

Remember it quoted that way or how about when you got into trouble for something you did and your parents got on you like a
“Like A Chicken on a Junebug!”

That saying came from chickens every June that would eat the June bugs on the ground and peck the heck out of them for an extra meal.

My grandmother Ester was famous for her (Home Made Scratch Egg Noodles) she made for her chicken dumplings and her delicious homemade peanut butter cookies and Apple pies! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I sneaked lots of those peanut butter cookies and I think she knew it but she was too kind to call me on it or winked at me sometimes when she caught me.

I loved getting the eggs in the morning for Grandma Ester from the chicken coup because I liked to make the chickens squawk! She had me feed them too. According to my Mom she was always on the lookout for Chicken Hawks! That’s cool stuff to do when you’re a little kid and being the third child, I was the mischievous little stinker in our group.

My brother Jack lives in Broken Arrow now and I visit when I can.
Betty Jeanne Apple is my Mom (Ed and Esters youngest daughter) who is retired living in Tulsa and to be truthful with you I was mostly raised in Tulsa in my early teens then I moved West as a young man and entered into the technology field. I worked for many years as a commercial painter in business for myself in Astoria, Oregon before the Internet came along. Visit http://www.weaverpaitning.com  and had several prestigious clientel before purchasing the software company you're reviewing today.

My Dad Barney, his brother Jack and Barney Weaver Senior owned and operated Weaver Sandblasting and Protective Coatings for over 30 years in Tulsa down on the Sand Springs Line at 25th and Charles Page Blvd. My Dad Barney is now pasted on and worked for ARAMCO in Saudi Arabia as a coatings specialist for 8 years before he retired after a long hard working career. I attempt to be the Christian man my Mother and Father raised.

I have lived on the beautiful rugged North Oregon Coast for 25 years now in Warrenton, Oregon (just across the river from the historic town of Astoria) where the mouth of the Mighty Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean but I’ve always remembered my roots of “Good ole’ fashioned hard work” in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma!  Just a little ‘good ole boy’ history to confirm to you who I am and where my roots and christian ethics come from.

The Fish & Elk are Huge!
Especially the Sturgeon, Albacore tuna and King Chinook Salmon! Oh? The ELK? Huge! 1,000 pounders and great eating! We eat good on it!

Just a tip! Feed your dogs raw steak of any kind twice a week and they will live longer for you! It’s extended OSA’s (My Mom’s Dog) life! Got Elk? Your dog will live till its 18 to 20 years old. The enzymes in raw wild meat are very lean and good for animals!

“Ole Sackett” lived for 22 years on raw Elk meat twice a week from left over strapping saved for dog food or every day when we were butchering it! Whoops! Clumsy me! Get that Sackett dog! No I didn’t say THE ELK BACK STRAP! That’s mine! ALWAYS MINE but sometimes I share. Always wrap your meat with cellophane and then white wax paper and you'll save it longer from freezer burn.

Mmmmm. Elk Backstrap! Garlic, salt and a little fresh ground pepper cooked only for 2 to 3 minutes on the grill and its ready eat because it’s so lean! We always clean our raw elk meat with vinegar to get rid of the gamy flavor.

Just so you know,
When you go online and surf for something, your computer picks up mini files and cookie files every time you visit any website. Ccleaner removes these unneeded files (depending on how much time between cleanings) in a single second. If you use Ccleaner when you log off after surfing you keep the garbage from collecting and getting continually stored on your computer. I recommend Ccleaner and WinPatrol very highly!
