I grew up on the beach in Southern California and after nearly 10 years living in the midwest, I really miss the ocean.

Pauls Valley is a truly charming, brick paved, tree lined small town in Central Oklahoma just of Interstate 35 betwen Dallas/Ft. Worth and Oklahoma City where a family or a couple or a group of friends can enjoy clean air, free parking, friendly folk, wineries, train rides, casinos and some of the countries most fascinating attractions. There is so much to see and do for all ages and October is a grand time to visit.

On the other hand, I would personally love to spend a few weeks right on the beach. Are any of you with a home where you can walk on to sand at the ocean looking for a change?  I am asking that we talk about this opportunity and what you would enjoy doing.

Here in Autumn, the trees are in full color, the pecans are falling on the ground, and the weather is perfect. I would be happy to arrange for you to meet people of your age and make certain you have the perfect itinerary.

We could trade homes. I will take care of yours and you can take care of mine.

Please let me know if this idea is of interest to you. info@greatersuccess.com

Arbuckle Wilderness

Before I begin, let us not forget that PECAN COTTAGE is the only place in central and south central Oklahoma – the Arbuckle Country – that specializes in Chick Trips; old-fashioned sleep-overs for girlfriends. And it is very near many wonderful things to see and do including what follows…

Susen’s story: After spending nearly 40 years on the beaches of California, in 2002 I relocated to Kansas, a part of our country where bathtubs and rubber ducks are considered water sports. By 2006 I was desperate to get personal with a lakeside retreat and a travel writer’s assignment created the opportunity.*

Three weeks later Stan and I were soaking in a hot tub on a deck overlooking our own private lake, not far from Turner Falls and the Arbuckle Wilderness.

The first day Stan took his beloved Harley on a world class motorcycle ride with a new friend through the Chickasaw National Recreation Area and I got a tour of everything else that makes the Arbuckle Mountains a popular attraction including a backstage tour of Arbuckle Wilderness, a 400 acre drive-thru park home to thousands of wild animals from across the world. We came nose to nose with camels, zebras, rhinoceros, and lions, tigers and kangaroos? This park is one of the finest examples of wildlife conservation that our country offers and was recently awarded the distinction of Oklahoma’s Outstanding Tourist Attraction.

It is all about the animals at Arbuckle Wilderness, but there is so much more. Picnics, paddle boats and bumper boats, a great go-cart track, camel rides and an especially entertaining petting zoo with lemurs, reptiles, and colorful tropical birds. For information and hours of operation visit the website www.arbucklewilderness.com.

If you are enticed to bring the family, my friends Vic & Tammie Garrett offer a variety of lodging options nearby. For reservations contact http://www.arbucklelodging.com/.

*End of the story – six weeks after our lakeside vacation, Stan and I had bought and moved into a lovely house near Lake of the Arbuckles where we plan on growing old together with friends like the Garretts and many others who have helped make it home. That was almost 5 years ago and we love it.

Come see for yourself by bringing your girlfriends to Pecan Cottage. Email me at pecancottage@gmail.com.

Hoping to see you soon, Susen Foster 580/622-5408
