Last night we went to the Liberty Theatre for Watonga's first Tellabration. Six professional storytellers came from various places in Oklahoma. The stories ranged from a little comedy to a song about a train wreck and Rhode Island locomotive that is still in the Cimmaron River, to a Choctaw story about Rabbit and Lady Wolf; to a recipe on how to cook squirrel. We also had two local storytellers:Larry Masoner and Hod Tolbert. All of the stories were fun and entertaining. I hope we are able to bring another event like this to Watonga and maybe even get some young people involved. Two of the storytellers stayed at the B&B and we got to visit over breakfast.
Outside the leaves are turning colors quickly. The weather this week should be very pleasant -- overnight temperatures in the high 40's and daytime temperatures from 50 to 60's. A good day today to hike at Roman Nose State Park.
I spent some time at the Whirlwind Winery yesterday (Saturday) afternoon, visiting with Nancy and Brad. Brad is busy bottling the last of his Honey Apple wine from last year's grape harvest. When in watonga, everyone should stop by his storefront on Friday and Saturday afternoons for wine-tasting, music, and conversation.
