We wrapped up our time at the Grand Lake O' the Cherokees RV Resort to move on to new places! We did get to watch another beautiful sunset before we left though. ;)

✋🏻🛑 Stop your scroll! 🛑 ✋🏻

I know this pic doesn't represent what we normally post so you might skim on by but I'm going to do a little crossover for this post today and I'd love for you to take a look...

For those who might not know, I've been a Scentsy consultant for over 14 years and I've loved being able to help people bring amazing fragrances into their lives. It has been SUCH a fun job!! We have a variety of things we offer for any kind of situation that you might want to enjoy some fragrance and I love helping people find what they love.

Well, today is World Mental Health Day and it just so happens that we have a charitable cause item this fall season that is raising money for mental health.

That's one of the things I love about my company, generosity is a big part of who we are and give more than you take is a company motto. In fact, we've donated more than $17.2 MILLION to global & local charities through our charitable cause program.

From now until Feb. 28, 2026, Scentsy will donate $10 from the sale of each Tranquil Glow Warmer to nonprofits in the U.S. focused on providing mental health services and spreading awareness. I love that! 🫶🏻

So if you've never tried Scentsy and you'd like to support this cause (and us as this is part of our income!) or you're already using Scentsy home fragrance and you'd love a new warmer, we'd love for you to check this out and even browse our site for other things: https://donettadalman.scentsy.us/shop/p/101338/tranquil-glow-warmer?partyId=18916418&partyName=no-host-click-here

If you're not familiar with what a Scentsy warmer is, it's a way to have a beautiful decor piece that will warm wax and provide amazing home fragrance by melting the wax with heat from a lightbulb or from a heating element (depending on the warmer style you choose). We have tons of different fragrance options to choose from as well - something to fit any preference!

Of course, if I can answer any questions about anything don't hesitate to ask!

This is fun! How many of these roads have you driven? I've got a clean copy and a copy that shows the roads we've driven so you can do your own and share in the comments! :)

Some of them we've driven the whole thing, some we've driven a lot of, and some we've driven just part of it. The last one - I have no idea what that's referring to. 🤷‍♀️

How many have you driven?

🚗 Weird Roadside Attraction! 🎨

What's the weirdest roadside attraction you've visited?

One of the ones I just saw something about is Cadillac Ranch. Have you been?

If you’re ever near Amarillo, Texas, make sure to stop! It’s one of those quirky must-see spots on a road trip! Ten Cadillacs are buried nose-first in the ground, and the interesting part - visitors are encouraged to grab a can of spray paint and add their own touch to cars. lol!

I knew we'd been and went looking for pics and realized it's been 10 years since we stopped there!! We've been past there MANY times since but July 2015 is when we stopped to check it out. haha!

Drop your favorite roadside attraction in the comments! Bonus points for pics. ;)

After we got our work done for the day, we went to check out Lendonwood Gardens. This is an 8 acre botanical garden in Grove, Oklahoma, near Grand Lake. This is something I've had on my list to see for awhile so I was excited to get there!

Unfortunately I was a little disappointed. Especially considering they charge an entry fee to walk through the garden. Most botanical gardens that I've been to have things blooming for all seasons if they're open year round. This one really didn't. There wasn't much in bloom at all and there was honestly a lot of stuff that needed to be cleaned out because it had already bloomed and died out.

There is a lot of potential at this garden - the grounds are nice, the trees are beautiful, and they have it landscaped well with pretty paths as well as ponds and fountains. But there just weren't a lot of pretty flowers or plants to see.

At least the weather was nice and we enjoyed getting out for a walk for the day.

Gettin' some work done! ;)

10/09/2025

We went to hang out at the Grove Public Library to get some work done and when we were driving back to where we were staying, we noticed the sky was turning into a beautiful sunset! As we pulled back into the campground it was absolutely stunning! In fact, tons of people had come out of their RVs and were all crowding around in front of the water to see the beauty. What an incredible moment. 🌅

One of the main reasons we wanted to stop in Grove, Oklahoma, was to go to Har-Ber Village Museum. We have a membership with a museum that's part of NARM (North American Reciprocal Museum) so we're able to visit any museum on the list for free and this is one of them.

Har-Ber Village, named for it's founders, Harvey & Bernice Jones, is a pioneer-era historical museum featuring a recreated village with antique buildings and hands-on activities that showcase pioneer life from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s.

You'll find over 20 log cabins and other historic buildings, some original and some reproductions, providing a realistic glimpse into the past plus an extensive antique collections of a variety of things.

We really enjoyed walking through the 6 acre village and seeing all the cool stuff from the past. If you're ever up in northeast Oklahoma near Grove, you should totally check this place out!

And if you're not subscribed to our YouTube channel, give that a follow and stay tuned for a video tour very soon! www.youtube.com/

🥟🥜 It’s a delicious dilemma — National Pierogi Day and Fluffernutter Day!

One is apparently a Polish favorite you’ll find in the Midwest and the other is a New England classic. 𝙎𝙤 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙪𝙨… 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙞 𝙤𝙧 𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧? 😋

I've never had a fluffernutter. I think I've had a pierogi but not I'm not 100% certain. lol! Sounds like I need to give these a try!! By the way, for those of you who know, does this pic show what they really look like? 😂

Did you know? 🤔

Tampa’s famous Bayshore Boulevard once held the title for the longest continuous sidewalk in the U.S. — stretching an impressive 4.5 miles along the beautiful bayfront. 🌴☀️

But guess what? Galveston, Texas, has officially stolen the crown! 👑 IThe sidewalk along the Galveston Seawall stretches over 10 miles. and has earned the Guinness World Record for the longest walkway after an official measurement on September 6, 2025. 🏆

So whether you’re walking, running, or just soaking in the views, both spots are worth a visit for some sunshine and sea breeze. 🌊

We happened to visit Galveston earlier this spring and walked part of the boardwalk. It's definitely a great spot for that! But I think I'd like to go check out Tampa's views! ;)

New campsite, new views! This time we're up near Grand Lake at Grand Lake O' the Cherokees RV Resort. I don't think I'd go so far as to call it a "resort" but more on that later. 😂

We do have some pretty views of the lake though! Especially in the evening as the sun sets. 🌅

As we traveled out northeast in Oklahoma, we came across this welcome center. We thought it was just a typical welcome center that's more like a rest stop but this one was amazing. They had an art exhibit/museum that had some beautiful pieces! We very much enjoyed browsing and seeing the art and sculptures.

Welcome to World Dalmanation

Life is not meant to be lived full of regrets. That's the basis of our story and the reason we're about to take a huge leap into the unknown to pursue our dreams: Traveling the world full-time, while working from the road and experiencing life to the fullest.

It's not going to be easy. We aren't independently wealthy and don't have savings to live off of. All we have is a roadmap, an idea of how to make a living, and an insane passion to make it work. Yet we'd rather try and fail than to live with those regrets.

This website will chronicle our journey into the unknown and share our perspectives about life. It will be raw, honest, and no holds barred. We hope you'll join us for the ride of a lifetime.
