The Coffee Cup

My favorite place to eat in Okoboji is The Coffee Cup.  Nothing fancy about it and you might as well bring a novel to read while you wait for your food (it’s that busy!) but really – it’s the best. The food is excellent (HUGE caramel rolls), the place is casual and the people are [...]

Church at the Lakes

I am always surprised at how packed church is on Sundays in Okoboji.  Actually, the church we go to is in Arnold’s Park which is just down the street and I’m not sure where Okoboji ends and Arnold’s Park begins. It’s all Okoboji to me anyway (no offense but to me Arnold’s Park is just that [...]

Afternoon Sun

Whodathunkit? Finally, sun in Boji! The Kid and The Niece wanted to go on the boat but The Man decided it was too much work so The Kids and I went to the pool. Now, when I say “went to the pool”, it’s not like we had to travel. It is only like 25 steps [...]

My only complaint is the chairs on the patio (those kind that have you way [...]

Okoboji Attire

I was cleaning out my dresser the other day and I realized I have as many “okoboji” clothing items as I do “Harley Davidson.”  For years, I’ve had a special drawer and closet shelf for my Harley clothes, but I didn’t know I had this many Boji clothes. I think most of them say “Barefoot [...]

I’m not going!

I am not going to Okoboji this weekend. No, I’m not complaining about Okoboji or the Condo or The Man (well…that depends) but just the whole “have to” thing. Since we have a condo in Boji we “have to” go every weekend. Heaven forbid we waste one precious weekend of something that has been paid [...]
