The older I get the more I love my state. And nothing says 'Oklahoma Pride' like the classics...
I got a random magazine in my mailbox yesterday. I think the Lord is smiling down on me. The magazine is called 'Enjoy' and I don't know what the purpose of the magazine is, but this issue is all about TravelOk.com highlighting Oklahoma State Parks. So, after some reading and planning, here is my lists of camping trips for this year. I don't know if I'll make it to every one, but it's a start.
1. Beavers Bend State Park & Lodge
2. Roman Nose State Park
3. Lake Murray Sate Park
4. Robbers Cave State Park & Lodge
5. Boiling Springs State Park
6. Lake Wister State Park
I also fell upon a new word... Agritourism. Yep, touring the agriculture of the state? TravelOk.com has a really cool program where you can sign up for a 'passport', search locations all over the state to visit like ranches, farms, wineries, etc., and you can enter into winning all kinds of FREE TRIPS! Just click here to visit Oklahoma's GROWING Adventure! I think my favorite part of the website is where you can click on certain things like vineyards, hunting, trail riding, etc., and it shows you a map of everywhere in the state that you kind find whatever it was you clicked on. So I clicked on 'U-Pick' and up pops a map of all the places you can go to pick your own produce. Yep, it's cool.
Well, that's all for today.... Next up. Tulsa grown Black Walnuts... coming soon

I watched 'Food, Inc.'
The other day I was kind of board. Jessica was off having fun with her 6th grade girls small group and I had nothing to do. We have had Netflix for a few weeks so I browsed through a few movies and stumbled upon the documentary Food, Inc.
It will blow your mind (and upset your stomach)
I loved this film. To keep this short and simple, here is a link to the films website. I could talk about food and facts all day, but these guys know more than I do, so go check it out for yourself.
Food, Inc.
If you want to keep reading, be my guest!
I'm not really a hippie or an 'organic' activist, but I really do care about my community and lately the idea of 'eating local' has really got me excited. My plan (we will see if I actually do this) is to try to get as much information about local food and farmers markets and put it up on this blog so that anyone in the area (Oklahoma) can help out local food providers.
I'm really not a good blogger but I figure jump on the bandwagon or get left behind :)
