Ma Visit 2007


Judy's mom came to visit us in Tulsa in the spring. We took her to the botanical gardens in Oklahoma City.	Geof and Judy pose for the camera.	We have a timer on the camera that lets us get everyone in the picture.	Don't walk under the coconut trees. Coconuts hurt when they land on your head.

	What could be sillier?		A lovely place.

		Reminds us of the Hawaiian flowers that Hawaiian ladies put in their hair.

A closer look at coconuts.	This skyway allowed a view of the whole garden. Judy thought it was spooky to walk so high up.		Geof took this picture from the skyway.

Here, they look very small.

Outside the gardens was a park.	Lots of koi in the pond.

	A duck with a cute little duckling.	See the turtle on the branch?

		All of us in the park.	This was in one of the shops in the Oklahoma City BricKtown area.

Flaming Lips Alley in Bricktown. Wait. Is that the street name, or actually somebody's lips?		Judy took Ma to the rose garden in Tulsa.

		Jerry brought his girlfriend Caitlin over to meet Ma. Jerry borrowed Dad's favorite Rush Limbaugh tie.	Our good friends, Jim and Jody Ellison, also came over to meet Ma.

We found crawfish at the Chinese market in town and had a crawfish boil for Ma. Ma doesn't like the crawfish as much as she likes the veggies that we cook with the crawfish.	Ma learned how good a crawfish boil was when we lived in Louisiana.

We had crabs too.

		Not much left.
