About Me

Hi all, and welcome to The Comer Experience. Howdy, we are John and Gena. Gena is born and raised in Southern Oklahoma. John is a military brat, raised in New York for his first few years. He spent 5 years in Okinawa, Japan before moving to Oklahoma. Both of us have been married before, and have finally found our comfort in each other since 1999. We got married on July 4, 2006, and it makes Independence Day something much better to celebrate. We have hit a point in our life together that now we want to share our experiences with everyone. We want to take you on a trip through the everyday lives of our family. We have started this blog to give people a look into what our family enjoys, and goes through. You will see some great cooking from John, who learned from helping his mother in the kitchen. With his mix of Italian and Irish background he enjoys experimenting and making great food. We will also take you on our journey into learning photography and we would love to hear your critiques on our pictures. All and all we hope you enjoy your journey with us and can laugh and learn from our experiences. Enjoy and lots of fun, John & Gena #TheComerExperience

"Cold Blue" by Gary Neece (Oklahoma Author) Book Review

To start off this book review I would like to thank the author for his time, and for loaning me the books to read for review.  To let you know a bit about the author himself he is a Tulsa PD detective, and his style of writing is pretty darn good.  Gary has stayed in contact with me throughout this whole thing.  :)


The book I read is "Cold Blue" it is the first book in a series based on a Tulsa PD detective named Jonathan Thorpe(I call him by his last name).  The book is addicting!  However it is a real jump out of my normal genre so it took me a bit to get into.  Ok, its not the books fault I had to stop every time something was mentioned about Tulsa, and ask hubby if it was pretty close to truth (haha).

Thorpe is a strong man, and has gone through so much strife as of late.  He lost his wife & daughter to murder, and its somewhat sent him off the deep end or has it??!!??  He takes matters into his own hands to find out who it was that killed his family.  Throughout the book you will read much violence, and the twist & turns will keep you enthralled. It's one of the most thrilling books I have read! So this is not for the faint at heart.   The detail in the book will bring you right into it, and you will see the scene as you read it for sure.  Oh, and when the FBI comes in oh boy oh boy oh boy!!

In closing I will say this is a must read.  Especially for those of you that can handle violence, and crime.   It is followed by the sequel book "Sins of our fathers".  A definite book for the guys for sure!

So check out Gary Neece, and support our Oklahoma authors!!


Thank you so much Gary for the awesome opportunity to read your books & review them.  I can't wait to start "Sins of our Fathers".



If you click the picture below it will take you straight to the book!! :)

Oh my braces!!!

So sorry for such a lull in posting we have been having some things happening in our lives.  I won't be delving into that.  But let me tell you about today.

I went for my first appointment since I had my braces put on in February.  Oh mylanta talk about ouch!

I got a whole new set of wires.  These wires are slightly larger, and stiffer. Yes, they literally popped my doors on my brackets open, removed my old wire, and slid in my new ones.  So yea um to say the mouth is sore is a understatement for sure.

My orthodontist did say my mouth was moving very well.  I have decided that at this time in my life that I won't be doing the surgery to fix my alignment.  Maybe sometime in the future.  He did tell me that my teeth would still turn out straight, but I would still have a slight overjet/overbite.

So that's all at least the teeth aren't so sore that I can't eat!! That's a plus! :)
