A tale of the classics

Personally, I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon than chilling out on a deck, listening to Vivaldi while reading The Great Gatsby and sipping something delicious. Maybe with a little Breakfast at Tiffany's for dessert. Well, besides riding my motorcycle, I mean. 

Yes, we have a love for classy things here at the Stone Turtle - Lodging near Fort Sill and the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Everyone needs a weekend getaway filled with reading, lounging, and coffee! Maybe even a little hiking in the Wichita Mountains. 

If you love books, you'll feel right at home. Somewhere over the years, our cabin "Faith" has accumulated 240 books and counting! As much as I love books, it's time to focus on a genre (and more shelving), I think. What better a genre to focus on than classics? We do love class!

But, why stop at books? We're excited to be building up a collection of classic movies. Maybe we'll even add a classical music collection (besides Vivaldi) to our rental cabin. Oh, the fun possibilities!

Support Local Businesses

Being a small business owner, this issue lies close to my heart. I know how much work goes into owning your own business and how hard it is to stay ahead of the game. It's challenging and rewarding. I try to support local businesses when the opportunity arises especially in a town like Lawton where chain-businesses thrive. Therefore, I hope to include many blog posts covering independent businesses in the area!

It was the national day of love (Valentine's Day), and who wouldn't love checking out a local shop on such a lovely day? The Red Door Gallery & Emporium in Medicine Park, OK had it's reopening open house and I found myself browsing through the treasures found in the quaint little shop.

What can one find at The Red Door? Art work by 24 local artists! Everything from pottery to photographs (and much more) can be found here. For more information check them out on Facebook.

In other news...

Spring is in the air. Well, kind of. And, we're planning our gardens here at The Stone Turtle! So many herbs and flowers to choose from! Basil and echinacea made the cut, of course. Who doesn't love fresh basil? We also picked up a butterfly bush (...or two) and wisteria!
We're expanding our recipe vault and baking skills for a monthly German kaffeeklatsch hosted at the Stone Turtle. Flour everywhere. Quite literally. 

Project (Color) Madness is still an ongoing project. There's always a splash of new color at The Stone Turtle - Lodging! This week's color combination is pink and green.

Have a wonderful week!
