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.

The Simple Lives We Live
Banana Splits and a Blizzard Wedding | Sherry Zachmann
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Every year, Sherry Zachmann's big family throws a Weenie Fest in honor of her mom, Viola, whose dad nicknamed her "Weenie." Sherry grew up between the farm south of Golva and an old Beach, North Dakota house that used to be a hospital. She tells me about sledding down homemade ice hills in her mom's big kettles, the biggest banana splits she could make at the Dairy Queen for one cute customer, and the 1977 wedding day blizzard nobody saw coming. And if you loved Troy Tescher's episode, Sherry grew up in the house he and Joanne live in now. She swears it's haunted.
