The Simple Lives We Live
Some of the most extraordinary stories don't come from celebrities or history books. They come from everyday people - your neighbor, your grandmother, the man who runs the corner store, or the woman sitting next to you at church.
On The Simple Lives We Live, we sit down with ordinary people to uncover the beautiful, hard, faithful, and fleeting moments that shaped their lives. Stories of love and loss. Of grit and grace. Of family, faith, and the simple days we didn't know we'd one day miss.
So please join me each week as we capture voices and memories that deserve to be heard and remembered. Because the truth is, ordinary people live the most extraordinary lives.

In this episode of 'The Simple Lives We Live,' I had the pleasure of interviewing Buster Schneider, a 76-year-old man with a wealth of life experiences. Buster shares stories from his upbringing in Wibaux, Montana, and later in Beach, as the eldest of eight siblings. He delves into his early jobs, which included mowing lawns, milking cows, and eventually custom harvesting. Buster recounts his work history, from operating combines to driving trucks, and his time working at Coastal Oil and Gas. He also reflects on community events, personal memories, like a high-speed drive with a highway patrolman, and his decision not to get married. Throughout, Buster’s stories celebrate endurance, hard work, and the simple yet extraordinary life he has led.
