Monday we took a trip up to Winganon, Oklahoma. A friend had posted a photo with a caption about a cement mixer that had fallen off a truck. Here’s the information from their website. “The Winganon Space Capsule is a happy accident that has turned into one of the most memorable and fun photo ops…

We spent the last week in Arkansas with family. Tom’s sister Julie and her husband David met us at Crater of Diamonds State Park. It’s a lovely park located at the diamond mine which is really just a field filled with mud this time of year. We watched videos of people sifting when the dirt…

We are in Moyers, Oklahoma on the Kiamichi River, mostly by ourselves. We were greeted by chickens when we arrived and they mostly got out of the way. No, we didn’t kill chickens. I’ve seen my grandmother kill chickens and it’s not something I ever intend to do. There’s a petting zoo here and I…

If you don’t know who Belle Starr was, she was an outlaw that was convicted of being a horse thief and was killed in 1889. Many of her exploits were in Indian Territory or what is now Oklahoma. There is a lovely campground on the shores of Lake Eufaula near the city of Eufaula called…

St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church in Broken Arrow has a pumpkin patch every year. On the first Sunday of October pumpkins are delivered by a semi and set up on the front lawn by many volunteers. We’re usually not here in October so we’ve never experienced the pumpkin patch. On Wednesday this past week we…

Tom and I took a trip to the Tulsa State Fair a week or so ago. We hadn’t been to the fair since before we got married. The last time I was there we bought an ornament with our wedding date (to be) and our names. I still have that ornament and I would include…

I’ve been remiss in posting since we arrived in Oklahoma. A lot has been happening since we arrived. We have moved into our campsite that we expected to stay at for three months. But, while the office area and entrance look wonderful, the rest of the campground is not so wonderful. We are packed in…

Today we ventured a few miles up the road to Hot Springs National Park. Once again a different type of park. We accidently came across the Mountain Loop and so we drove up to the observation tower. It was lucky that we found it at all. We were just slowly driving up the road and…

I love Magic Kingdom. There is nothing better than walking down Main Street and seeing Cinderella’s Castle. This trip we were staying at Fort Wilderness Campground so we were able to take the ferry to the front of Magic Kingdom. Some of our family went on ahead and we came later. Well not too late.…
