Is there life after loss? What about love after loss? Do you want to visit cool and unique places around the country? How about learning to cook a new dish? Hard to believe, but all this can be found here on this channel. Originally the channel was known as Traveling with Jack and Pam. Jack and Pam were married for over 30 years and traveled to all the lower 48 states while also living in over 2 dozen cities. At a fairly young age, Pam was called to the ultimate destination...heaven in 2019. However, Jack continued moving forward and almost 5 years later was blessed to find love for the second time in life to the lovely Nicole. While they are both from vastly different cultures and on the surface may seem an unlikely match, love knows no boundaries and they will share with you their travels, cooking as well as some tips on how they manage friendship, love and even marriage.
I lost my beautiful wife 1 year after you lost Pam Jack and you certainly helped me through that deep grief - I can never thank you enough. Best wishes and good luck with your book - you deserve it.
Moving from 1,800 miles from Michigan to Alberta, Canada in just a couple weeks. Your video was so informative! I really appreciate all the tips you gave.
We happy for you that you wrote this book! Although we have not lost a spouse, we are beginning to lose friends and family in their young 60s! Way too soon! Recently we made a video about us receiving therapy to learn to deal with those losses plus future losses as we are the younger siblings on both sides. Unfortunately the therapy hurt more than helped us and we ultimately got Sammi, our adorable papillon puppy to get a new perspective in life! We hope to read the book one day. As of today, Sammi's keeping up pretty busy! Take it easy, Ageing Joyfully
Thank you so much for these kind comments. We are also happy to hear about the new addition with Sammi! Will Sammi be making some appearances on your channel? BTW, send us a DM sometime so we can connect outside the public forum.
Full service restaurants where they bring you everything to the table should get tips. Coffee shops, self serve fast food places, etc. should not. I also think that coffee shops and other places where they do bring stuff like a coffee or pastry to your table could get like a smaller percent tip, like 5-8%, since they are not providing full service like a restaurant does.
I need to get this. Lost my wife to cancer three months ago, 33 years married, together since 9th grade, 14 years old. My story is very similar to yours. Toughest thing I’ve ever been through but I lost my Amazon account. I’ll have to get one of my Daughters to get me this.
I’m from Spain originally and we don’t tip there, or just give a small amount if the service is good. The reason why we tip in US though, is because food service workers get a very small salary and essentially work for tips. In Spain servers get paid a full salary, and don’t have to rely on tips. That’s also why you may notice, in general, servers is US are very friendly and efficient, as that’s how they earn a good tip 😊
Hey Jack; glad to see you are happily married to Nicole. You guys should move to the Philippines. No one tips here and the prices are dirt cheap. You can live live a King on your social security income. I use to live in Conway Arkansas but married a Filipino and made the Philippines my home. Take care and God Bless Yall
I'm with Nicole. Tipping has gotten out of hand. I noticed it during Covid. There was no dine in options for awhile so when you went to pick up your food they would have the tip on the screen. During that time I did tip. Restaurants were struggling and restaurant workers were taking a chance of getting covid by serving you. While it started at sit down restaurants, fast food jumped on the bandwagon as well. Then after covid they just kept the tip on the screen. I work hard for my money. I'm not tipping where I wait on myself and if I get poor service at a dine in restaurant i won't tip there either. 7:10
I'm from Medford oregon. We never tip self-service food places, but we do tip places where they seat us and bring our food, and they get extra points for lots of things like checking on us them being nice, smiling,ect.. Love watching all of your adventures thank you for sharing 😊
Its been 2yrs for me since I lost my wife to breast cancer. We have 4 kids together and they keep me busy. Right now I have no interest in finding love again or dating anyone. Just me and my kids Im happy with that. Maybe someday I'll meet a woman who will love me and my children but just not right now.
We are in Huntsville and it has been very hot, but the humidity has been unusually low though! We want to go to Joe wheeler to swim at the little beach they have there, it looks so nice!
A lot of speed traps from Florence cities like Center Star, Rogersville The speed limit drops suddenly and you have to pay attention cause they will stop you.
I know that it has been awhile since you posted this. I lost my wife almost a year and a half ago. I have had similar thoughts that you described. I have no intention on carrying out taking my life. I’ve had moments where I thought that if I did, I could be with my wife. I would at least not be lonely. You said that you talk to Pam. I talk to Dee with those same thoughts that you shared. I also write her letters! I do think that she is listening. My best to you Jack! Cliff
Pat and Holly no one is leaving Tennessee. You did the most for Women's Sports. It's amazing no one ever mentions it was the games UCONN had with Tennessee which helped them.
You’re a good man sir. I realize you have someone new in your life and I’m very happy for you for it. As for me, I’ve been a widower going up four months now to my wife of 25 years .just like you, I had plans to move to Florida and be a fishing bum with my wife .right now, I feel like I’m in no man’s land and just trying to live in the moment rather than the future. Just trying to get my daughter through college in one piece and haven’t quite figured out what I’m going to do from here. Thank you for these videos, I really enjoy them in this time of my not so sure new life as a widower
I have a Grandson in Rwanda. He and his wife and children speak Swaheli, French & English. My Grandson is Jonathan Thaft, his wife is Epiphanie, and their daughters are Ashimwe Holy Blessed and Arera Joly Blessed. I love the girls names. Jonathan is a Pastor and I am trying to help him find a church to sponsor him. They want to immigrate to the US and live here in Decatur, Al. He has a religious Visa good for 10 years, and Epiphanie has a business management degree and also a culinary degree. They all have their passports. Nicole if you can give any advice about immigration and dual citizenship. It would be greatly appreciated. I always enjoy you two! Have a blessed day. May God continue to bless you by his grace and may you know his peace. ❤
You may be correct🤣talked with several folks that tell me the town has a reputation and locals know to avoid driving thru there. Needless to say, we'll be avoiding it too!
It's just money, I can never understand why people pray about a ticket. I would have argued with him and went to court because the truth is the truth. If i wasn't going 81 mph. I will go to jail on that truth. Also the officer should have been respectful to you. That's his job. He was depending on a machine to say I was speeding. I think there is something that you can stick in your car to see if you were speeding, because insurance companies use them to increase your rate. Alabama is a slave state. And as long as you are riding with a black woman, you will soon find out. Wait and see.
St. Joe has historic architecture. I lived there for a few weeks in 1980. The beautiful 26-mile parkway city loop and trail.system built in 1918 was forward thinking. If planning for civic beauty was the road to success, the parkway system should have resulted in prosperity. Ideal for biking it could have been a template for other cities. That was the era of City Beautiful movement - before things got so automobile centric.
