Where are we today ?
We are having a perfect warm sunny day and our plan is to visit Har Ber Village and Museum in Grove Oklahoma with our friends Emile and Monique. This is our third visit here but it is constantly changing and improving.
This museum was built as a gift to the public from Bernice and Harvey Jones of JTL (Jones Truck Lines) on Sept. 20th 1968 and is still growing today.

We walked the grounds for about three hours very hilly a good exercise for the day.

Now this was Sister Elizabeth wanting to deworm everybody here today at the Drug Store promoting her Worm Destroyer. We listened to her interesting sales pitch and were given the cure so that we would not contaminate anyone else here.

That was it for todays expedition, we had fun and enjoyed the decent weather and got a good workout at the same time. Then back home a little bite to eat and enjoy our books in the afternoon sun.

Wow, nice pictures, we have some of that stuff in our house!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a lot of it too when we had a house.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool day at Pioneer Days. It looks like it would take several visits to see everything. I love to watch reenactments. I am not sure I would have done very well back then.
ReplyDeleteIt was really a lot of fun. Even for our third visit.
DeleteIt is a fun place to visit and the beach is fun too in a different way. Enjoy !
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your visit to pioneer days ... looks like you had a full day. Reminds me a bit of Sturbridge Village in MA
