Wordless Wednesday - Tulsa Baseball

We arrived early.  The stands were packed after the game started.

Minor league baseball is back in season so we went to see the Tulsa Drillers play the Arkansas Naturals on Saturday night.  Our beautiful new ballpark is on the northeast of the downtown area and provides a spectacular view of the Tulsa skyline from the grand stands.  Of course I wore my Driller ball cap and enjoyed a nice hamburger and cold Pepsi.

Macro Monday - Pirate Tattoo

On Saturday before Easter we had a party for the children at our church.  There was an Easter Egg hunt of course, and some games and prizes.  Our daughter Jennifer did face painting  and I was in charge of the stick on tattoos.  The girls generally choose something pretty and we had flowers, butterflies and such things for them.  The boys wanted something a bit darker so we offered pirates, skulls, dragons and such for them.  Of course I had to apply one to the back of my hand as a sample for them and a practice for myself.  I choose this lovely Pirate Octopus to decorate the back of my hand.  The interesting thing about these tattoos is that they do not wash off as expected.  They are printed on a very thin plastic film that slips off a paper backing when wet and applied to the skin.  I am posting this on Monday morning and mine is still firmly affixed.  I will try some mineral oil or some of Sue's fingernail polish remover.  The kids loved them.

Mystery House

I drove by this little house just northwest of downtown Tulsa a few days sgo, and wondered what most people would.  Does anyone live there?  From the generally run down look of the place I would guess that it was unoccupied.  But there is a mail holder on the front gate with an envelope inside, and a cat sleeping on the front porch.  It's a mystery.

Macro Monday - Pink Magnolia

A trip to Southwood Nursery is always a photo-op.  Here is a pink Magnolia, sometimes called a Tulip Tree.  The beautiful pink and white blooms are a brilliant addition to our colorful spring landscape.
