Howdy!
Today is a special day here at
Dreaming. We have something
to CELEBRATE!
Country Dreaming turns 6 today.
Unbelievable that it has been
6 years since the first post!
Thanks go out to everyone who
stops by. I have enjoyed getting
to know all of you.
See you soon!
Book Challenge Update!
I just finished book 24--hopefully
I will make my goal. Been a bit lax
this week having fun with Mr. Ken
while he was on vacation. But never
fear, I will be hitting the books hard
to make my goal.
As you know WHEN I accomplish
goal, Mr. Ken will be taking me for
my ice cream treat!!!!
Enjoy your weekend! If it is HOT
where you are--stay cool and
hydrated!!

Today we will finish our tour of
the Cowboy Museum in
Oklahoma City with the gardens.
The 37 acre museum complex
includes several beautiful gardens.
Outside of the children's area
and dodging raindrops we saw
beautiful statuary, fountains,
fish and water features.
Continuing around the grounds,
this lovely is called--Paint Mare
and Filly.
Looking off in the distance from
the gardens.
Rising above the horizon
is
a beautiful statue of Buffalo Bill.
He was an American scout, bison
hunter and showman.
More beautiful water features.
Well, we have come to the end of
our tour. This is another one of
the beautiful statues in the
gardens. But I did not see an
identifying marker near it.
I hope that you have enjoyed this
three part series. If you visit
Oklahoma City make sure that you
take time to visit this wonderful
museum! But make sure you have
an hour or so to see all it has to offer.
I highly recommend it.
See you soon!

Well, well,well!
Summer has arrived in a blaze
of glory. It is HOT here and will
be for several days and wouldn't
you know that the heat would
arrive as Mr. Ken takes a week
of vacation!
Oh well, we have things to do,
places to go and people to see.
We'll have fun even if it is HOT!
I will probably be MIA for most
of the week but will post Part 3
of our OKC trip. Come back late
Tuesday and you will see the post.
See you in a week!!!

Our Oklahoma tour continues
today with some of the beautiful
sculptures in the various galleries
at the museum.
This beauty is 18 feet tall and is
named Canyon Princess, it was
carved from a single block of
Colorado yule marble.
These beautiful pieces were in
the Native American Gallery.
This is a framed tapestry honoring
9/11.
This is the beginning of the American
Rodeo Gallery. It looked like we had
stepped right into the real thing!
Sculptures and areas that one would
see at a real rodeo plus movies too.
Plus a great section geared toward
women. Lots of fun to see this section.
This is the Children's Cowboy Corral.
These crazy kids are: my sister-in-law
Cindy, Mr. Ken, Me and Ken's brother
Gregg.
A replica of a farm house.
A log cabin with household things to
play with. Look closely and you will
see Gregg's girlfriend peeking out
the side window.
Another shot--New to the crew:
The girlfriend Julie and Cindy's
husband Gregg.
We really did not have any fun
here! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Next week we will finish our
cowboy tour with the beautiful
gardens surrounding the museum.
Stay tuned!
~Keep on Dreaming~
