Visiting friends in OK for the second time. October – November 2024

We once again “Mooch-docked” with our good friends Dwaine and Eldora in Oklahoma. Sometimes you have to take time for Dr’s appointments and such and we’ve gotten to know the area and enjoy it there.

While there, we went to their local Wild Game Feed. It raises money for their community center in Fay, OK and was established in 1894. Loved the quilts they auctioned off and G was part of the entertainment with Dwaine. Every time I go to the community center I love looking at the photos of students over the years. The center used to be the local school, so has always played a big role in the community.

Love the colors!
Garland is up for entertaining anytime!
Love seeing how the Seniors dressed and their hairstyles over the years!

We had a couple of days of bad storms – well bad for us. Our friends are used to the weather, living there! Actually had to go into their “sticks & bricks” early one day due to a tornado warning. They have a storm shelter but it would have been very crowded with all 4 of us and the dogs – plus it wasn’t that bad, just not a good idea to stay in your “movable” home with possible high winds, etc. 🙂 We were able to attend their family Thanksgiving, enjoying some really good food and G got some needed help from Dwaine’s tractor in attaching our new hitch.

This was just a typical stormy day – not the tornado warning. The clouds are awesome here.
Sometimes you need a little help! 🙂
They have gorgeous sunsets. Enjoyed watching the crop duster fly over from the neighboring field.
This old truck was purchased for friends’ photo studio business – so cool!

It was my birthday while we were there, so G and I went to the Oklahoma Renaissance and Scottish Festival – always fun to people watch at these events. Love how elaborate their costumes are! And of course we went out to eat quite a few times with our friends!
