Perry, Oklahoma

We've been on a road trip!!  Did ya miss me?  I know at least 2 of my blogging buddies looked for me. One called and one emailed to see if we were okay. Thanks guys! I don't know about you, but I never post on facebook or the blog that we are leaving home.

So over the next few days I will blog about our trip.

Our first 3 nights were in Perry, Oklahoma. There we attended the Saltfork Craftsman's Association annual blacksmith conference.  

We parked the Casita at Sooner's Corner RV park. A no frill park, no wifi, but full hook ups for $20 a night. Did I mention it was next to the Interstate and a truck stop?  Luckily we were below one of the few hills in the county and it really wasn't too noisy. Great weather, not too hot, not too cold for sleeping. The daytime weather, well that's another story.

I watched one really good looking blacksmith work both days. It wasn't my husband, but he was almost as good looking. He was Mark Aspery from the state of California, originally from England. I loved his accent. 

In their gallery I saw this fireplace screen. My blacksmith has made almost everything I wanted, except a screen. Had this been for sale it might have come home with me. Lucky for the husband it wasn't.

But lucky for us, our daughter and son in law were only an hour away. So Sunday afternoon we took off for their place about 2 o'clock. I was so busy catching up with them, I forgot to take a picture of the newlyweds or their brand new sofa that was delivered the day we got there.

I did snap a picture of the platform heels she bought for a wedding in Phoenix today. Oh to be young and wear those. It would be a dream for me. They were as adorable as the daughter wearing them!

We left Perry Monday morning. I snapped this picture while traveling through Tulsa.

Stayed tuned for more adventures.
