Sunday Morning Brunch Started at The Shebang

One of the land marks on Monkey Island is also one of the better restaurants at Grand Lake. When you're driviind south on Hwy 125 on Monky Island you will can't help noticing the landmatk on the left side of the road which is a "Pink Cadilac" in front of the Shebang. For around 30 years Larry and Joyce have provided great food and fun for visitors and locals alike. They started a Sunday morning Brunch about 4 weeks ago which is excellent. Our favorite is the Eggs Benedict.

The weather has been strange and Real Estate Too.

They say in Oklahoma if you don't like the weather... just wait a minute. Actually they may say that everywhere but this year at Grand Lake has been wetter and cooler than normal. Finally we are getting the warm sunny stuff tha puts smiles on all our faces. With all that rain the lake levels have been great and we had a good crappie spawn this year. Hip Hip Hooray. They taste great. The Lake Front Homes here at Grand Lake continue to be active and appreciate in value where the homes off the water have slowed somewhat but have mained value and increaded a couple percent. We never had those huge increases like California or Florida and we haven't seen the huge decreases either. If you have questions or want something addresed about nthe Grand Lake Area email me at DaveWagenblatt@remax.net and I''ll post it. Please reference the Blog to keep it all straight. Bottom line about the weather.... Ignore it. Come to Grand Lake and have fun anyway.
