a good weekend

We had a fun, stress-free, non-busy weekend.

It was a blast and well needed. We started it off with spending an evening with friends. 

 

Last week I did a I Love post about loving vintage sewing books and falling in love with ones that our friends found at a thrift shop. Saturday they surprised me with the Vogue Sewing Book!! They came across another one in town! I died. 

Sunday brought beautiful weather so husband, dexter and I headed 40 miles west to visit the Gloss Mountain State Park. 

I've only been to the Gloss Mountains once when I was a teenager and I didn't go on the hiking trail so I was really excited to go on the trail Sunday and see the view from above. As you can see in that last photo, Dexter was worn out. He immediately fell asleep when we got in the car.

Did you guys have a fun weekend? Let me know what you did!

LIGHTS! LIGHTS! LIGHTS!

The husband, little dog and I finally went to see Christmas lights!

Better late than never. We went to a town 40 miles south of us. They set up 70 displays with over 2 million lights in their park and you can drive/walk around admiring them.

I love this bridge! We call it the party bridge since it is a 100 year old swinging bridge with 90,000 lights. Every year several proposals 

happen here.

Did you get to see Christmas lights this year?

This was something we wanted to make a Christmas tradition for us and we didn't get the chance until this week. I'm so thankful they show the lights until the end of this month. 

Now it's time to start thinking of the New Year! 

Are you guys ready?

Today we are in Enid, OK! It's only an hour away from our home in Stillwater. We came here to do various things and one of them included feeding the family dog, Rocko!

He's a loving 1 1/2 year old beagle!


This is him knocking me over! Looks a little dramatic.




And then I got a little camera happy and started taking pictures of the neighbor's dogs! Sweet little guys, their barks sound like a squeaky toys.





We then went to get lunch at Port Lugano, an amazing cafe in Enid. If you ever find yourself in Enid, you MUST go there!
Here's my delicious lunch, pasta salad and tomato basil.


Next was to pick up some things at Riley's parents house but on the way we decided to drive by the High School.


Riley and I both went to school at Enid High but we didn't know each other. We actually met in Stillwater! So now it's super convenient for the Holidays since both our parents live in the same town. And what's funny is our moms knew each other before we did because they work at the same hospital.
We made our way to his parent's and guess what...more doggy pictures!!!!
I'm deprived of doggies so when I'm around any I MUST take pictures! Sorry.
Meet Max!! This is his mom's little guy, he's a 2 yr old puggle (pug & beagle mix).




Max doesn't like drinking out of a bowl of water. He prefers the bath tub.


This is Butler. He barks at everyone. If you get too close he runs outside.

When he feels it's safe, he peeks in through the doggy door. If he sees you he remains outside.


Besides taking pictures of dogs today I listed some ornaments in my shop!




Anyone going back home for the holidays next week? If so, where are you going? Riley and I are heading back to Enid, of course!
