Grand Lake O’ the Cherokee, Oklahoma…the place we call home!

Pensacola Dam Grand Lake Oklahoma

Oklahoma's Grand Lake!

So why do we call Grand Lake Oklahoma home…well, that’s kind of tricky.  Apparently, I always said I was going to live “at the lake” when I was visiting the grandparents back in the day.  I really don’t remember that, but you know how parents and grandparents are…they remind you of all sorts of things as you get older.

But now, many years later, we’ve been here over 10 years…man, time really flies.  We talk about moving, but the pace of life here is really nice…not too much to worry about.  Take care of your business and the world tends to take care of itself…no dealing with the “rat race”, whatever that is.

Then, things start happening…

  • you see a double rainbow from your deck overlooking Grand Lake…
  • or you get that first early morning, glassy smooth, Grand Lake wakeboard session of the summer in, on a Tuesday, when everyone else is worried about everything they have to do…
  • or you wake up in the morning to the hoots of three different owls and the barking of dogs…all from across the lake…
  • or you spend Wednesday evening on a dock, catching more crappie than you can possible clean…
  • or you catch up on city life from your weekender neighbors, and realize you don’t miss that at all.

Then, it all comes clear on why we call Grand Lake home.

Feel free to kick around this Grand Lake Oklahoma site.  Nothing Earth shattering here…plenty of other people editorializing and promoting the lake and telling you everything you should be doing, if you want to find them.  This site is a bit more laid back.  And, any advertisers you seen on here…well, they are real businesses that call Grand Lake home.

Just like us.
