From the EDITOR
After living with my tantrum over a broken-down pickup for the last five months, I’ve become brain dead and don’t know what to write about. However; If I didn’t live on The Corridor I would move tomorrow. If you are planning a move, you will love this May issue where all the area professionals are listed and ready to help. Regardless of your profession, if you have children, parents prefer making home decisions, moving, and being ready for the new school year come August. So now is the time to start thinking and looking. Can’t remember when I’ve had as much fun as I had visiting with the Williams kids: Larry, Judy, and Al. It’s OK to call them kids even if they were actually kids way back in the 40s. They, along with neigh-
by JOE GOOCH
bors, the Kinzie family, provided dairy products to thousands of homes on The Corridor in Payne and Lincoln counties. I certainly hope these types of articles will continue to be forthcoming. I would like to personally thank them for allowing us the opportunity of touring their Oklahoma Centennial Award-winning farm. Finally, don’t take off on your vacation until you read my June issue. I promise to show you over one hundred and twenty ideas for things to see and do right here between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, along The Corridor. Who knows – maybe The Corridor Magazine will win an award someday, and don’t forget MOMS, DADS AND GRADS this year!
THE CORRIDOR / MAY 2018 5
GINGERTALES
by MICHELLE BROWN
Red Ribbon Homestead
As a college student, I was required to take a freshman level American History class. From week one of the class, I was hooked. After that first semester, I enrolled in every extra history class I could. Eagerly I listened to lectures sparking my curiosity of what living in a long past historical time must have felt like. Recently, I spent the afternoon with several members of the Williams family of Cushing, Oklahoma. I literally stepped back in time as Al Williams, Larry and Pamela Williams and Judy and John Sheridan told story after story describing the historical place they still call home.
The Oklahoma Centennial Farm Award was presented to the Williams Homestead Farm October 10, 2017. This prestigious award is sponsored by the Oklahoma Historical Society and the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture. The farm must meet rigid regulations and guidelines to qualify. Now owned by Larry and Pamela Williams, the traditions of the farm continue with brother, Al, and sisters, Judy and Kay, living close by. While it is rare in this day and age that farms survive and continue on by the original family homesteader, the Williams family has accomplished just that by “hard work and tough livin’.” Although the distinguished award is proof the homestead is historical, here is just a small taste of the adventurous story of the Williams Homestead and how it all began. After camping under a sycamore tree on September 22, 1891, Charlie Williams received 160 acres from the land run of the Iowa, Sac and Fox, Pottawatomie and Shawnee Territories. Although quite larger today and several lightening bolt hits later, that special sycamore tree continues to grow as a reminder of the homestead’s humble beginning. Al and Larry recall the fishing hole Grandpa Charlie named Big Rock.“The memories made at that fishing hole were too many to count,” Al said. “One reason Charlie wanted this area of land was to fish at Big Rock and fishin’ we did! The fishing hole dumped into the Big Creek and Cimarron Rivers.” At first Charlie and wife, Ina, lived in a dugout built on the land. Remnants 6 THE CORRIDOR / MAY 2018
of those two small rooms are still part of the basement under the house. Their family grew to have nine children. After touring inside the cozy, comfortable house, Pam and I ventured out to see the dugout and imagine life in that setting. As I explored, the reality of “tough livin’” was right before my eyes. For a history buff that was a dream come true! In the 1930s entertainment was simple. They worked and played hard back then. Louis, a stout young man at 6’3” and one of three boys born to Charlie and Ina Williams, played the fiddle. And a lovely young lady with sky blue eyes named Morene Cox played the piano. These two met at what Al told me was known as a “Kitchen Sweat”. And it was exactly what you can imagine! Remember, no air conditioning back then and the kitchen was the largest room in the house. So families from miles around gathered together, pushed the furniture back, organized music, danced in the kitchen and, of course, it was hot and sweaty! Those who weren’t lucky enough to be in the dance contest were in the other room playing dominos. And when all the dancing was finished, it was time for the best part of the night – homemade ice cream! Louis, 24 years old, and Morene, only 15, dated a short time before marriage talk began in 1933. With only $5 in hand, they were married at the Brethren Church Parsonage, close to the homestead. Obviously, no money was available for a wedding ring! So Louis creatively, but oh so romantically, tied a red ribbon around Morene’s finger until later years when he could afford more. After four years of living in the basement, they moved up to the shotgun house, later adding on to create the 1,800 square foot house as it is today. While Al and Kay were born at their grandparent’s home in Ripley, Judy and Larry were born on the homestead.
Grandpa Charlie started a dairy business and it grew to include about 100 head of cattle. They first started with Jersey, then Guernsey ending with Holstein cows. The kids did their part and the dairy was a successful one serving Cushing and the surrounding communities for over 50 years. l and Larry told of their day beginning at 4:00 a.m. rain or shine, holidays or even if you had the flu, the cows still had to be milked! Their business grew
to include beef cattle, pigs, chickens, and an orchard. They told the story of a bull named Amorde Paree, whose handsome portrait hangs in the family room and is an eye catcher for all who visit.
ROCK CRUSHER
Early on, the family began a rock crushing business with much of the farm’s rocks paving the roads of Payne County and beyond. The old rock crusher remains on the farm to this day. All of the beautiful rock on the house and dairy barn were quarried on the farm. After hearing the warm and delightful stories of Morene Cox Williams, I felt I knew her personally. Undoubtedly, she was Queen of her farmhouse. People called on her for her wonderful talents of pie making and canning. Since Judy and Larry were not fond of chocolate chips when they were kids, I was served Morene’s famous chocolate chip cookies with NO chocolate chips! Larry talked of how his Mom liked to call herself a “published author” after he and Judy surprised her with a bound cookbook containing Morene’s very own recipes. Judy’s husband, John, says he still gets to taste Morene’s cooking because she taught Judy to cook just like she did. Morene cooked for their hired men when the dairy and rock crushing businesses were operational and the number of mouths to feed was never intimidating to her. She was a seamstress, winning the “Golden Thimble Award” and sewing some 55 three-piece suits in her lifetime. Women in those days took pride in their homemaking abilities, passing them on to their daughters in preparation for life. Obviously, Morene felt that same pride as she cooked, sewed and turned the Williams’ modest shotgun house into a warm and inviting homestead. That concept is another rarity for this day and age. Morene credited her successful marriage with Louis to the statement of “the dividing line was at the screen door.” Let’s not forget the talents of Louis Williams. He was a founding member of the Rural Electric Cooperative in Stillwater. Louis and his brother were part of the first board of the Rural Water District 4 in Agra, Oklahoma. With an interest in conservation, Louis terraced the farm in the 1940s. If you are involved with any aspect of farming and ranching, you understand the importance of THE CORRIDOR / MAY 2018 7
conservation and how it can impact a farm’s livelihood. It seems only appropriate to think that since Louis and Morene met while dancing at a “Kitchen Sweat” that they, of course, enjoyed dancing all through their years. All the family remembers how the big rustic barn was host to many barn dances during the 1940s, 50s and 60s. “Mom and Daddy loved dancing and a fish fry. And even after Daddy died, Mom would go dancing with her grandsons. She never passed up a dancing invitation!” The last barn dance was to celebrate Morene’s 95th birthday. I was told her grandsons carried her up the stairs to the barn loft and there she danced with her sons. The Williams home is one of comfort, warmth and cheer from the first step inside. Yes, Larry and Pam have remodelled it somewhat with paint and such. But all the nooks and crannies between the bedrooms are the same, the old ironing board is still hidden away on the wall, the beadboard ceilings are still lovely, and the built in drawers and closets look even more charming now. The dining table is long and surrounded by newly painted chairs that have been in the home for literally forever. Louis and Morene thought of everything as they added onto the original shotgun house. The saying “if walls could talk” is more than appropriate in this old rock house. If the barn walls could talk, one would hear laughter, dancing and feet shuffling to a fiddle and piano! Although Louis died in 1976, Morene lived to be just shy of her 98th birthday. They danced their way into having 16 grandchildren and over 100 great-great grandchildren. History can always be read about in books and seen in museums. I can only be thankful that I was allowed the privilege to experience history first hand with the Williams family. Not only did they open their home, they shared their precious childhood memories. Learning does not stop just because you graduate from college. Remember, history can and did occur right here along The Corridor. n ILLIAMS

BUYERS AND SELLERS Things to Watch for When Buying or Selling Your Home
BUYERS: Call your favorite Realtor and stick with her/him! Most Realtors can show you almost any home on the market. You will want a Realtor that can help get you into the homes you want to see, negotiate a price that you are willing to give and guide you through every step of the way until you walk away with the keys to your home. Most Realtors do not charge buyers to assist them in buying a home. It can be costly if you try to purchase a home without assistance of a Realtor and a title company. There have been cases where the full acreage is not deeded over to the buyer and the buyer is not aware of it until they’re ready to sell. Also, there are problems with buying property without a clear deed. It does not cost a buyer to use a Realtor

so be sure that you have a Realtor to look out for your best interest and make sure you get what you are paying for. Also, having the right lender is key. There are many lenders here in our area that offer any program you might need, some include 100% financing which means no down payment for the buyer. SELLERS: First impressions are very important. When you are ready to put your home on the market there are some steps you can take, and your Realtor can help you with. The things that you can do immediately are to make sure everything is clean inside the home and outside. Outside, make sure the yard is mowed and clean. Make sure all windows and
doors are clean. For some curb appeal paint the front door. Be sure to use a color that works with the rest of the exterior of the house. Then put some flowers out even if you just use pots. The way your home looks on the outside will make people want to see what’s on the inside. Stand at your front door and look inside like it’s the first time you have been there. What is the first thing that will catch the eye of a potential buyer? A pet bowl in the kitchen (some buyers are not pet lovers) or a trash can that is too big to fit in the cabinet, telling buyer there is no storage? A free-standing fan in the living room or bedroom causing the buyer to question whether or not the AC works efficiently? Try to remove these problems, causing the buyer to smile and be impressed by your property. Your Realtor will be happy to assist you with any of these steps. Realtors or Sales Associates are not appraisers. Do not be misguided in thinking that they are. Yes, we can create a CMA-Comparative Market Analysis consisting of current sales figures in the area, which is what the appraisers use. However, an appraiser has many other factors they must include. It is important that you have a CMA to help you set your home at a marketable sale price. Yes, you should allow a little wiggle room to be able to negotiate.
WE OFFER 10 & 15 YEAR
However, sometimes the temptation is to price your property higher thinking you can come down. Just remember the longer it is on the market, the harder it is to get buyers interested enough to come look. If priced aggressively when first put on the market there will be more of a chance of getting your asking price and not having to drop the price the longer it stays on the market for sale. Another thing to keep in mind when pricing your home is that the buyer looks at the home with this thought: “Am I impressed or do I love this house enough to pay $$$ payments for the rest of my life?” The buyers are not concerned with how much you paid for it or how much you have put into it. Most Realtors will help the buyer understand if it is a fair value based on square footage and the comps they are aware of. They can share that with you and the buyer. Use a Realtor that advertises and markets your property locally and nationally. Always remember your Realtor wants to sell your home. That is the only way any Realtor gets paid. When you walk away with your money from the sale of your home, the Realtor also gets to walk away with their pay. This is how Realtors make a living, so they do work hard to help you sell your home and want to sell it just as fast as you do. n

Manvel Avenue Coffee Co.
Stop by for your favorite blend this month!
by ROBBIE McCOMMAS
Opening very soon, Manvel Avenue Coffee Co. is a hot topic along the Corridor. Construction began in November and is projected to begin business sometime in May. A city with a quaint downtown full of charm brings a spirit of joy as one shops, conducts business or enjoys a meal. Chandler is fortunate to be gaining an exquisite establishment. Outdoor seating and appealing background music will soften the air as patrons enjoy the stirring of main street at daybreak while experiencing their favorite coffee blend and breakfast. Or, maybe they’re more inclined to dine inside for lunch or still yet, meet friends for dinner. Whatever fits your schedule, the new spot will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and will extend the evening hours on Friday and Saturday until 10:30 p.m. The coffee shop has hired chef Steven Conway who will offer breakfast biscuit sandwiches, breakfast panini sandwiches, muffins, cookies, scones, panini sandwiches, soups, salads, grab & go items, coffee, espresso-based drinks, teas, hand-crafted Italian sodas and cream sodas. Manvel Avenue Coffee Co. is a subsidiary of Central Oklahoma Telephone Company owned by brothers, Steve Guest and David Guest. The pair along with their wives bought the building in 2012 from Cunningham Jewelry and used the location 18 THE CORRIDOR / MAY 2018
as an authorized retailer for AT&T wireless. When the AT&T contract was not renewed in small town America the brothers got an idea. Equipped with fiberoptic and high speed internet they thought a coffee shop could be beneficial. Three COTC employees became instrumental on the project. Marketing and advertising specialist Carey Gardner along with her husband who serves as in-house attorney Aaron Gardner and accounting and finance specialist John Hart met with Mass Architects and later Ben Hayes Construction began transformation of the building. The architect involved the Oklahoma Historical Society which revealed the original recessed entrance to the 1920s building. It has now been returned to it’s original footprint. In addition, the coffee shop boasts very large murals of Chandler’s downtown from the same time era. Upon removal of the dropdown ceiling (added somewhere down the line), vintage stamped tin tiles were exposed and, in surprisingly great condition. In addition, a staircase leading to offices and apartments on the second floor was revealed during construction. Sealed up for 60 years, the offices were like a time capsule of items from days of old. Things found were 1950 calendars, a ‘for rent’ sign in an office space and claw feet bath tubs in the apartments. Chandler resident former attorney and
n judge Milton Craig rented an office and apartment beginning in 1954 for several years. Craig was given a tour of the upstairs a few weeks ago. “I remember the offices in front and my apartment that overlooked the alley,” Craig stated. “There was a lot of nostalgic in it as I walked through.” While Doctor Mileham and Dr. Adams administered healing, the other offices yielded Attorney/ Judge Dale Sutton and Attorney/Judge Milton Craig. Today, the offices will offer space for a few of COTC employees, though upgraded with central heat and air, an elevator and other amenities, the vintage look remains. As you drive through Chandler on Route 66, you won’t be able to miss the neon sign. Situated halfway between Tulsa and Oklahoma City, the coffee shop can serve as a great meeting place. In fact, one can reserve a complimentary private meeting room seating 15 to 20 people. Patrons can take a step back in time while dining in a modern, upscale fresh place with high speed internet that welcomes sunlight with windows facing the street. A stage in one of the front corners inside the coffee shop will invite open mic times where indi-
Aaron Gardner, Carey Gardner, David Guest, Steve Guest and John Hart.
viduals may play music, sing or read poetry. EOTE and Topeka coffee and espresso will be served. EOTE began in Chandler in 2012. If you’re not familiar, be sure and look them up as you drink your coffee, the story will make the brew taste even better. For those interested in a building timeline, locals remember: An auto supply/hardware store by Mr. Hutton beginning late 1800s then, Anthony’s, Wackers, Cunningham’s Jewelry, Central Cellular and now a coffee shop! “Like our telephone service, we want to provide good coffee,” Steve Guest said in conclusion.n

Bragging on Moms by MISSY HUSTED
ALONG THE CORRIDOR
Mothers are special, especially to daughters... Mothers are special, especially to daughters, and (as my sister-in-law pointed out) most importantly on their wedding day. Moms get stuck with the crummy jobs like buttoning the hundred tiny buttons that close the back of your beautiful wedding gown or holding said gown while you have a last minute bathroom break before the big wedding. A mom is someone to look up to and (ideally) when you are grown she will be one of your best friends. I can proudly say that I have an amazing mother, Teressa Dav-
enport, and mother-in-law, Judy Husted. Both helped me learn about how to be a woman and wife. As I sit here and write this my husband has just finished a phone conversation with his mom. She had spent the day with HER mother, and was now checking up with her kids! In this issue we are going to honor a few of our special moms along The Corridor. Mother’s Day is May 13! Don’t forget to call your mom to let her know you’re thinking about her and that you love her. Or send her flowers, or treat her to dinner.
Rebekah Herrmann Rebekah Herrmann says, “I love my Mom! She is a mother of five, grandmother of seven. I’m thankful to have had a happy childhood and to live so close to her now. Her mom, Karla Herrmann, Agra, OK, is a special woman and we are thankful for her every day!”
Amber Duke
“My mother, Vickie Lakins - there are not enough words to describe her. She is my everything, confidant, encourager, but most of all she is my rock. When life threw her a mess she picked back up and started anew. There are days I know she had thought about throwing up her hands and giving in but she is strong. There is no one stronger than a mother. She gives without second thought. Then, I just thought she was a great mother but to see her as a grandmother is amazing. Her favorite line is, “nobody gets in trouble for accidents at granny’s”, even if they aren’t accidents I don’t think anyone gets in trouble at granny’s house I absolutely love my mother, she is my best friend.” 22

Rebekah Husted It’s really hard to write a quick couple of sentences about why my mother, Judy Husted, is fantastic. That’s because it’s something that’s so obvious to me that I don’t even think about the precise reasons why. My mom is fantastic because she has prayed for and over all three of her children – and their spouses – since before we were born. She’s fantastic because she modelled marriage and parenthood to us when we didn’t even realize that’s what was happening. She and our dad got us through hard times emotionally, physically, and financially, smoothing out life’s bumps and potholes and showing us how to gracefully handle anything thrown our way. By words and example, she has loved us, cared for us, taught us and always, always, supported us. For these reasons and so many more, she’s just the very best.
Christy Remple
Christy Remple brags on her mother Elda Remple. “She is always doing for her children, she loves having all her family over for supper. There are about 30 of us and she never runs out of food.” Elda has six kids and 14 grandkids.
Amy Hale Mom: Diane Seaton - “My mom is great because of all the things she does for others! She is always serving in the background and hates to be the center of attention, but will, nervously, take the lead if she needs to. She is the person I go to if I need help with anything! Growing up, I always thought I was more like my dad, but the older I get, the more I relate with my mom and I am so proud of that! I know so many who look up to her and value her opinion. I hope I am even half the woman she is!” THE CORRIDOR / MAY 2018 23

Notes
ALONG THE CORRIDOR
by RICK REILEY
BAYS, BAYS AND BERKENBILE CHANDLER BROTHERS FLIRT WITH MUSICAL EXCESS THE DEVILISH 3 ROOTED ALONG THE CORRIDOR I first met Tim Bays a few years ago. He was playing upright bass and thumping on an old Guild 6 string guitar one night and I was listening intently. There was something about his spirit that captivated me. Still does.
32 THE CORRIDOR / MAY 2018
He was singing sad songs of heartbreak, New Orleans style blues, with a lively touch- if that makes any sense. Then he’d join the others at the jam playing boogie woogie, country and gospel- filling in the bottom end on the bass with a broad, confident smile. (While sporting a cool hat! He always wears a cool hat!) He fit right in with everyone that night even though it was his first time at the jam. A little later I met his brother Jeff at the Stone RIver Music Festival in
Chandler. Offstage he appears to be the laid back quiet one. Tim and brother Jeff spent a little time in Nashville several years ago, Tiim had a professional songwriting job with a publishing company there. I asked him once if the work excited him. “It wasn’t anything like what I imagined,” he said,”about as exciting as working 9-5 at Jiffy Lube !” And not nearly as profitable. As a professional songwriter he worked with others in interchanging teams who were given daily assign-
ments. The way he tells it, it was like assembly line work. Writing a song by committee to fit a specific purpose at a given time. Not a lot of creative ‘magic’ involved. It just wasn’t his style so he gave that up after a year or so and moved back to Chandler. (He says their mother and father moved to Chandler about twenty years ago and he and the other kids followed close behind). Since then it’s served as home base. Tim did move to New Orleans for a short time to dive into the music and cultural scene becoming fascinated with it to say the least. I’ve heard a few of the songs Tim wrote from that experience and they remind me of a laid back, swampy, cajun, voodoo mixture. If Creedence Clearwater had been steeped in that atmosphere they might have made something similar. Tim credits his brother Jeff with being the real songwriter though. And he says it with a twinkle in his eye. Indeed, Jeff has a touch for the classic country/rockabilly groove as well as good old basic rock and roll. Meanwhile he had this to say about their time in Nashville. “...after one of our stints in Nashville, we were hanging around music row writing and meeting people and it was at a time when the Nashville publishing companies wanted the most bland homogenous music they could find and to be honest it just wasn’t that much fun to be a part of. Nashville’s lower Broadway was still pretty rough and tumble but the music the artists were playing was a blast! Old school country mixed with rockabilly and blues. It was so much fun we just fell in love with it. So when we came back home to Oklahoma it was what we wanted to do.” They released two CD’s as the Bays Brothers, ‘Honky Tonk Daddy’ and ‘Lovin’, Drinkin’ and Gunplay’. They wrote all the material and recorded them in Jeff’s home studio. Both, old style country honky tonk, rockabilly. Filled with honky tonk
imagery with a nod to Hank WIlliams, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Route 66. The songs paint a vivid picture of honky tonk fun from the past. Fun is the primary purpose here and fun it is! Then early last year Jeff Bays drove to Stillwater to take drum lessons from Billy Berkenbile. Those lessons tuned into gab sessions about their previous experiences on the road which led them to discover, surprisingly, that they shared many similarities in musical tastes. They tell me they thought it very odd that they live in the same area of the state, running in similar musical circles and hadn’t met before. Especially since they are drawn to
such similar music. But meet they did, leading Billy join the Bays Brothers to form the Devilish 3 and they’ve been busy ever since. They’ve played here in Oklahoma, in Kansas, through Texas and even played a rockabilly festival last year in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. They’re currently recording a fresh, new album to be released this coming summer. Last year Billy took up guitar last to expand his songwriting abilities and adds Jump Blues (a mixture of Swing and Blues I’m told) to the Devilish 3. (It’s interesting to note that the band operates as sort of a family affair. The Bays’ mother Linda, an artist of significant merit, created the artwork for their CD, ‘Honky
Tonk Daddy’. It is a portrait of their grandpa. Lisa Bays, Jeff’s wife, is the ‘behind the scenes all star’ (as Tim says) tidying up loose ends of the business and dealing with merchandise. And Billy’s wife Barbara is always there to lend a hand when the need arises.) Billy Berkenbile tells me a little about himself : “I have been a professional musician since I was 14 years old. It’s taken me all over the country and put me on stage with some worldfamous people and even more Oklahoma-famous people.” “Probably the most famous of these is Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Wanda Jackson, “the Queen of Rock and Roll” and the “First Lady of Rockabilly.” I performed with, and was musical director for, Wanda over a five-year span...” “Locally, I’ve performed and/or recorded with Brian Parton & the Nashville Rebels, Brian Capps & the True Liars, Bo Phillips, Bill Holden, Tex Montana, Jason Stringfellow, Gene Crose, and dozens of others. I’m also currently a member of, proto-psychedelic garage-rock outfit, the Moody Dudes, which features John Wooley, Larry Shaeffer and Dave Barber.” And now he’s part of the Devilish 3. What a trip! They spent the last two weeks of April playing from San Antonio to Killeen, Texas on to Dallas and then rounding out the month at the Norman Music Festival in Norman Ok. Here’s a short list of their upcoming shows: • May 3, Austin, Tx. • May 5, Stray Kat 500 Car Show, Dewey Ok. • June 7, Iron Monk Tap Room, Stillwater If you enjoy good old time rockabilly, jumpin’ swing blues with a little voodoo mixture thrown in for good measure, these guys are fun. Pure and simple. You can follow the Devilish 3 on Facebook or on their website. www.devilish3.com n

A LOVE FOR THE LAND
by GAIL BANZET-ELLIS
Creek County cattleman Zane Goodwin is living his dream job. As a rancher, land specialist and lifelong outdoorsman, he puts his passions into practice every day as a real estate agent for Midwest Land Group. After growing up hunting, fishing and helping with his family’s farming and ranching business in northeast Oklahoma, Goodwin began establishing an operation more than 15 years ago near Bristow. Goodwin, his wife and four children are spreading their agricultural roots with a 300-cow/ calf operation that includes a stocker/replacement heifer rotation. “I’m proud of how my kids enjoy country life just as much as I do,” he said. “There’s nothing better than watching them carry on traditions like a strong work ethic and love for the land.” Joining forces with founders Bryhn Craft and Steve Mott, Zane and his Brother Zed helped direct Midwest Land Group into becoming the fastest growing land brokerage in the Midwest. This was a perfect fit for Goodwin who believes in preserving historic, generational farms and ranches that can be passed on to new families. The demand for Midwest Land Group’s premier services here in
Oklahoma have lead Goodwin to build a highly selective team of professionals to meet not only land, but the commercial and residential needs of clients. Each contract is based on integrity, honesty, his word and a handshake. Although negotiations often are a part of buying or selling, Goodwin said he avoids the role of a high-pressure salesman. “I like to keep things simple and do business with clients the way they would want to do business with me,” Goodwin said. “I can relate to many of the landowners, and I understand the financial and sentimental values of these properties.” Midwest Land Group was founded to offer a level of specialized knowledge and premium marketing not available in other real estate firms. Goodwin’s experience as a rancher and Oklahoma outdoorsman is a lifestyle rural customers can appreciate when seeking help with their buying and selling needs. With close attention to detail, a personal marketing approach and a wealth of agricultural expertise, clients can feel confident that their land is in good hands. “It’s a God-given resource that should be handled with care, and it’s a privilege to be a part of the process,” Goodwin said. n

One of my favorite days of the year is when we honor mothers and grandmothers, aunts and great aunts. These courageous women do much for humankind.
SO, YOU JUST MIGHT BE A MOTHER IF … • Popsicles have become a food staple in your home • You are willing to kiss a child’s “yowie” regardless where it is • Your feet stick to the kitchen floor and you don’t even care • Spit is your #1 cleaning agent • In your bathroom there is toothpaste smeared all over the mirror, a dog drinking out of the toilet, and there’s water all over the floor because somebody didn’t tuck in the shower curtain • You buy the cereal that has marshmallows in it • The closest you get to gourmet baking is brownies & Rice Crispies treats • The baby’s pacifier falls to the floor and you suck it clean before putting it back into her mouth because you’re too busy to find a sink to wash it off • If a child has broken one of the house rules and you address her/him by her/his full name • When the kids are fighting during church you threaten to “slap them naked” if they don’t stay quiet • When the kids ask you what you’re doing through the bathroom door, you tell them, “I’m baking cookies!” • You hear a baby cry in Walmart and you automatically start rocking gently back and forth even though your kids are at school. • If you finally get out for a romantic meal with your husband and you realize that you’ve reached over and started to cut up his steak.

Being a parent is hard work. I used to sing the praises of all moms, but as I’ve grown older I’ve learned that not all children have great moms. Too many kids have moms and dads who are challenged by addictions and mental illness. I want I want to lift these unfit parents today up to the light of Christ’s healing love. I pray that they may find their way to health and wholeness and may God help
them truly to cherish their children. There are no perfect mothers or fathers, but with God’s merciful love, moms and dads can be gifts to their children. The greatest gift any father can give his children is to cherish their mother. On this Mother’s Day 2018, may you celebrate the gift of the mothers in your life! n THE CORRIDOR / MAY 2018 37

“What do you think?” Dooby asked. “I mean, this is YOUR home, and if anyone has a say in whether Delaney lives here or not, it’s you.” “Really, Dooby?” Delilah said, incredulously. “You know I love those girls. Besides, Mi casa, es su casa. And by extension, su pequeto’s casa, too.” A small, amused grin crept across Dooby’s face. “You mean hija,” he corrected. “What?” Delilah asked, confused.“The Spanish word for daughter is hija,” Dooby said. “No. Are you sure? Eee haw? That can’t be right,” Delilah argued. “Then what is pequeto?” “No idea,” Dooby said. Dooby and Delilah sat at the kitchen banquette, drinking coffee. It was a cold and gray afternoon. They had returned to the Royal Flush Ranch thirty minutes earlier after taking Dooby’s two daughters to the Tulsa International Airport where they boarded a plane to fly back to Georgia. From the time Delaney, Dooby’s youngest, had suggested she drop out of college and move to Oklahoma, she had tenaciously pressed him for an agreement. He had not denied her request or agreed to it. If it were up to him only, he would’ve agreed in a heartbeat. Delilah snickered as she slid out of the banquette. “Oh, heavens. Mariah’s going to throw a hissy fit,” she said. “There is no way she’ll allow her baby to move here.” “Truth is, Delaney’s old enough to decide where she wants to live, and what she wants to do with her life.,” Dooby said with a wry grin. “And her mother and I can either be supportive or contentious.” Delilah procured the coffee pot and made her way back to the table. “No mystery which path Mariah will choose,” she said, a slight edge in her voice. She filled their cups and witnessed a passing scowl on Dooby’s face. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that,” she said, sitting back down. Dooby sighed. “Don’t apologize. I was thinking the same thing,” he said. “I’m just concerned about Delaney. She doesn’t have the same focus as Cassidy.” The land line rang in the living room. Delilah slid out of the banquette again and started toward the 42 THE CORRIDOR / MAY 2018

ringing phone. “No one is focused like Cassidy,” Delilah said over her shoulder as she exited the kitchen. There was silence on the other end of the line when Delilah answered. That had been the third such call since Eli left a week earlier. Delilah attempted to coax a response from the caller as she had done twice before, but just like before, the silence hung menacingly on the line until Delilah hung up. She stood, paralyzed and starring at the phone. Though the first call freaked her out a bit, she was quick to dismiss it as a misdialed number. When the second call came her mind obsessed on the list of possible culprits. But still she disregarded it as a fluke. And now, with the third call, the only thing she could reject was the idea that it was coincidence. She had only talked to Eli once, and for a short time, since he left. He had called to let Delilah and Dooby know that he had arrived, though he couldn’t tell them where he was. She wanted to talk to him now. She didn’t want to wait until he called again. “What?” Dooby crooned as Delilah entered the kitchen. Delilah stood with her hands on her hips, biting the inside of her bottom lip. “What?” Dooby pressed. “You know that feeling you get when something’s just not right?” Delilah said. She quickly told Dooby about the three calls. He wanted to know every detail. What time the calls came in, how long she stayed
on the line, what, if anything, she had heard on the other end. She wanted to know when Eli would be calling again, and if he should be told about the ghost calls. Dooby had no answers 2nd ANNUAL for her. “What do you want for supper?” Delilah asked peevishly. “Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and candied carrots,” Dooby replied without hesitation. He departed from the banquette with coffee cup in hand. Delilah was taken aback. “I love a decisive man,” she said. “Love you, too,” Dooby said. He kissed Delilah’s forehead, then rinsed out his coffee cup and put it in the dishwasher. His cell phone rang. He pulled it from his back pocket and looked at the display. WHEN: JUNE 16TH 12-4PM “Well speak of the devil,” Dooby said, with a grin. He tapped the accept button. “What’s up man?” WHERE: ROUTE 66 - STROUD OK “Eli?” Delilah mouthed. Dooby nodded. After locating paper and pen, Dooby jotted down the list of things Eli needed Dooby to check with his Special Ops connections. And Delilah waited. Dooby explained the mysterious calls. And Delilah waited. Dooby updated Eli on the progress of the AWARDS FOR new stable. And Delilah waited. Finally, with a mischievous grin, AERIAL TRUCKS, PUMPERS, ANTIQUES, Dooby handed the phone to Delilah. BRUSH TRUCKS, AND SPECIALTY RIGS “Hi, Baby,” Eli said into the phone.

Eli laughed. “I miss you,” he said. “You said that already.” “Worth repeating.” There was a small stretch of silence, and then Eli continued.AWARDS FOR “Did y’all do anything New Year’s Eve?” AWARDS WHEN: JUNE 16TH 12-4PM AERIALFOR TRUCKS, PUMPERS, ANTIQUES, “Played Mexican Train Dominoes.

“Are you somewhere warm or cold?” “Warm.” “That’s good. Suddenly, Eli gasped. “I gotta go. They’re on the move,” he said hurriedly. “I’ll call tomorrow evening to for Buford’s report.” “Okay, love you,” Delilah said. “Love you, too,” Eli said. And then he disconnected. Delilah handed the phone to Dooby. He stepped out of the room and immediately began making calls while Delilah located her cell phone. She dialed her father’s cell number and got nothing but voice mail. She left a message. She contemplated calling their land line, but feared her mother would answer, and she wasn’t mentally prepared for that conversation. “Are you ready to move back to Georgia? You’re going to feel awful when one of us dies. Why can’t you be more like Bebe Hebberstone?” Or worse, “Why can’t you be more like Abigail?” Delilah laughed. How many times had she heard that? The sooner Abigail went to the slammer the better. Then she, Delilah, could slip in, “I guess I could be more like Abigail,” the next time her mother compared her to all the other “successful” people in Macon, or the world, as far as that went. Delilah pulled her apron on over her off-white sweater and jeans and began extracting items from the refrigerator for an apple and cherry pie. Thirty minutes later the pies were in the oven. Delilah was cleaning up the mess when Dooby entered the kitchen. He
started a fresh pot of coffee, and then sat down at the banquette again. Just as Delilah was filling cups with java, her cell phone rang. “Hi, Daddy,” Delilah trilled. “Hello, Darlin’,” Buford said. “What’s up?” “Just checking in,” Delilah replied. She froze, unable to think of anything else to say. She looked at Dooby, shrugged and shook her head in desperation. Dooby motioned her to continue. “How’s Momma?” Delilah asked. Buford laughed heartily. “Well, I’ve been slipping an extra one of her nerve pills into her morning tea, so she’s doing really well now.” “What happened?” Delilah inquired. “Abigail has started seeing Henry Henderson.” “Really!” Delilah said, setting the cups of coffee down on the table and taking a seat. “What happened to Henry’s wife? Did they get divorced?” Delilah gasped. “Oh, heavens! She didn’t die, did she?” Buford guffawed. “No, Sugar!” he said with a sigh. “Not Henry Junior. Henry Senior.” “Tell me you’re kidding,” Delilah finally said. “He’s practically old enough to be her grandfather.” “Quite the scandal,” Buford said with an amused tone. “The Henderson’s have drawn a line in the sand. They’ve threatened to commit the old man to an assisted living center. Your mother is petitioning to have the Henderson’s country club member-

ship revoked, and Abigail and Senior are galivanting about in Europe somewhere.” Delilah’s eyes went wide. She looked at Dooby with excitement. “Really?” Delilah said. “Whereabouts in Europe?” “I don’t know,” Buford said. “Italy, Spain, Greece, I think. They’re supposed to wind it up in the Bahamas, last I heard.” “How long have they been gone?” Delilah prodded. “They left a few days before Christmas,” he told her. Delilah, scarcely able to contain her exhilaration, hurried the conversation along, and ended the call. She relayed the information to Dooby, whose only response was, “That poor man.” Delilah took the pies out of the oven and started preparing supper. Just as she inquired whether or not Karon would be joining them, Karon barreled through the back door. “Sweet Jesus, it’s cold out there,” she announced, bag over her shoulder and Bullet in her right arm. Bullet was Karon’s dog. That term is used loosely. Technically the animal was of the canine species. He was a cross between a miniature Dachshund and a hairless Chihuahua and looked more like a bald rat. He had a nasty, out of control temper. He snarled. He barked. He sank his mean, little needle teeth into the soft flesh of any human ankle that didn’t kick him first. Bullet started growling as soon as he saw Delilah and Dooby. Karon was under the misguided impression that baby talk would sooth the savage beast. It did not.

Delilah and Dooby exchanged a glance. “I thought we talked about Bullet being in the same room with humans,” Dooby said. Karon sighed and rolled her eyes. “Don’t give me a hard time about this,” she said. “I’m warning you. I’m not leaving him at home alone. It’s too cold in the garage.” Karon hung her bag on one of the hooks next to the back door. “He probably needs to weedle,” she said. “I’ll be right back.” “We could always put him in the bathroom, or one of the closets,” Delilah said once Karon was outside. A few minutes passed when Karon busted through the back door in hysterics. “He got away!” she screamed. “He ran into the pasture! He’s gonna be coyote kibble!” “My money’s on Bullet,” Dooby said under his breath, and he grabbed his coat and headed outside.n
