Photos

Well, now that I've mastered uploading pictures to my blog, I will probably get notified that there are too many pictures. Until I get censored, here are some photos to enjoy. More of my recent trip to Oklahoma City. One of the places we visited included the OKC botanic gardens. They have an indoor tropical rain forest enclosed in what they call a "crystal bridge". I took some really great pictures there, some others were not so great. We will stick to just the good pictures here, ok. Rufus would be proud -- maybe. One picture is a striped plant it is kind of purple and white, I called it a spider plant but I am not sure of the real name of this thing. I can tell you if you look closely at one of the leaves (one or two o'clock if it were a clock face) there is a lizard on the leaf.

Another picture is a snake-like plant with leaves on the end of it that resembles Hen and Chicks, a favorite succulent of my mom's. They are fairly easy to grow -- unless you have a brown thumb like me and Jennifer. Then everything, easy to grow or not, dies. No matter how much or how little it gets watered, fed, etc. It all just dies.

More pictures of the memorial include a lawn photograph of the entrance walls, partial walls of the original building, the remembrance chairs close up (they have an acrylic base with a light underneath) and a different view of the survivor tree. Enjoy the pictures. Also, there is a picture of the Weeping Jesus from behind.

I am planning my next trip with roommate -- we travel well together. This time we are talking about going to Galveston to see Moody Gardens, the Aquarium and the Bishop's Palace -- maybe other land marks. I haven't been to Galveston since I was 14 or 15, I would love to go back. Maybe get my brother and his wife to go with us (hint, hint).

At some point we do want to go back to Oklahoma City, but after our stay at Hawthorn Suites, we will have to have a pretty spectacular stay guaranteed at another hotel.

Until next time.
