In episode 70, we talk more about moving to Oklahoma, tradition, and leaving behind what our kids will want to inherit.
In episode 71, we continue our conversation on moving from Washington State to just outside Tulsa, Oklahoma. We chat about the changing landscape, packing up our business, and tipping our slaughter truck.
