LIFE REALLY DOES BEGIN AND THRIVE AT GRAND LAKE O' the CHEROKEES

Spencer and I were not the only ones enjoying the Holiday weekend around Grand Lake.  These youngsters were frolicking with their mother in the meadows and forests surrounding the lake.

Some people believe life begins in the womb, some believe it begins at forty, and others believe life begins after retirement; I am here to tell you that LIFE BEGINS AT GRAND LAKE O' the CHEROKEES.

LIFE REALLY IS BETTER WHEN IT'S GRAND...™

RESULTS FROM EARLIER SURVEY TAKEN

When we asked our readers what their #1 criterion was when selecting a vacation or retirement spot, the overwhelming response was LOCATION!  Of the 527 readers who participated in the survey, 399 said location, while COST OF LIVING came in a distant second with 97 votes.  The few remaining votes do not even merit attention.

Well people, guess what? GRAND LAKE O' the CHEROKEES and the surrounding communities rank extremely high both in LOCATION and COST OF LIVING.

Follow us on our adventure and you will see just why this area is extremely desirable in so many areas other than just the two aforementioned.

Remember, LIFE REALLY IS BETTER WHEN IT'S GRAND...™ 

DRIFT AWAY & RELAX

This lonely piece of driftwood washed ashore along one of the many beaches of Monkey Island on Grand Lake O' the Cherokees. Nothing more relaxing than to see nature's beauty at its best during a leisurely stroll along the beach; yes I said beach and we do have them in Oklahoma.

Follow us on our journey as we explore hundreds of miles of engaging beaches along the vast shoreline of Grand Lake O' the Cherokees, you won't be disappointed.

In the meantime, let's play a little game called, SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE PLACE...pictures are posted immediately below; tell us where you think the picture was taken (i.e., Grand Lake area in Oklahoma, Hawaii, East Coast, West Coast, Lake Michigan, Lakes in Upper New York, Rhine River in Germany, etc.). You can use the comments section at the end of this post or you may just keep your guess to yourself; in a few days the correct locations will be revealed.

P.S. (Excerpt from an earlier facebook post introducing my new blog)

"I will share with the world what I have found right here in Oklahoma, a place where one can escape to those special places many have only dreamed of... East Coast shoreline, find a replica along the shorelines of Grand Lake; Upper Pacific Coast, it's here!  Ever taken a cruise on the Rhine River in Germany, achieve that same feeling right here in certain areas on Grand Lake and save thousands.  Is fishing your thing and what about 4 Whellin'... this is just the beginning!  We won't talk about the cuisine right now or the beautiful vacation and retirement homes our Real Estate experts can show you (hope living on a cliff doesn't bother you)... golfing, it's here, along with highly equipped marinas.  Don't get so excited you can't sleep tonight; we'll take it slowly so you can soak it all in..."
