It is wonderful to be home! As we left Missouri, in cold and rain, and headed into Oklahoma, the sky cleared, the temperature warmed up, the sun came out eventually, and the skyline was limitless--what a good sight! One night was spent at Quartz Mt. Park in southwest Oklahoma, near Hobart--it was a perfectly glorious evening, pleasant enough to have a campfire for cooking supper and sitting out..and a very brazen deer who obviously thought she owned the place nibbling on the grass in the next campsite! Our comings and goings didn't bother her in the least. We are SO glad we stayed for the opening of the Christmas season at Silver Dollar City. There were 4 million lights twinkling everywhere you looked..an absolute fairyland. We saw a superb musical production of Dicken's Christmas Carol. Above you see Phyllis Garrett (Monett MO), Sally Campbell (Marshall MO) and Mary with a SDC treat--more 'smores! There were charcoal fires going in fire pits so you could roast your own marshmallows--what a great idea!
