Open Range Shakespeare

IMG_5787

You know, it is 106 degrees out here, if there were any shade, and there isn’t. Lets get this show on the road!

IMG_5788

The audience has had all the refreshments that they can stand. Nobody has shown up yet.

IMG_5806

Well finally, is that him, the critter in the white coat?

IMG_5808

Look, both of them are coming, we can finally get started!

IMG_5813

Isn’t Juliette just the sweetest girl that you have ever seen?

IMG_5833

Truthfully though, Romeo is such an ASS, if you ask me.

IMG_5816

Oh  Romeo, you big baby. Get back here.

IMG_5837

Sorry guys, the big whiny baby has walked out. The show is cancelled. We have free treats for everybody. Check back tomorrow!

Check out the 7MSN Ranch for a patriotic donkey parade.

Summertime Blues

We got the Summertime Blues but we are pretty happy right now.

Have you ever had the Summertime Blues?

I like the Alan Jackson version

But I LOVE Blue Cheer’s version from the mid 1960’s. I couldn’t get enough of it. One of the early heavy metal songs. Love the drumming action, love the hair. It was all so shocking back then, now its funny. It is still a great song.

Boots, BBQ, and Boogie at Cain’s Ballroom

Boots

The preparations have been going on for some time.

The Yogi’s, Nana, and a few friends went to the Boots, BBQ, and Boogie fund raiser for Bit by Bit at Cain’s Ballroom. The legendary music hall just north of downtown Tulsa.

They had a hard core Country Western Band for the Boogie part, and the dancing part. That’s where the boots come in you know.

Cain's Ballroom Band

The place just drips history,

Cain's Collage Two

Many names from the distant past played there.

Cain's Ballroom Stars

The music is loud!!!

Too Loud Sign

Country Music isn’t my favorite but I’m still of the “If it is too loud, then you are too old.” school. No offense!

Nice, uh, t shirts for sale.

As you can tell, everybody had a good time.

Happy Mother’s Day

20100714_11

This isn’t the clearest photograph I have with Sweetie but it is one of my favorites. It shows her complex and loving personality.

Heather Logan Fountain San Antonio

She is a great mother to our son. Just ask him. She is his confidante, chief advocate, chauffer, and cookie baker.

(The messiness of the garage is my fault.)

She is a hard worker. Not just at the home but in all the various volunteer activities she is in at son’s school and other places.

She is very down to earth and centered.

I don’t think anybody loves animals better than she does.

Alan and Heather

She is also my best friend.

Happy Mother’s Day Sweetie!!!!!

Doings at the Tulsa Garden Center

The Tulsa Garden Center is a great place. It is a grand old oilman’s mansion from the 1920’s that now buzzes with activity most days.

IMG_5125

I just love this old fireplace in the ballroom.

IMG_0298

If you love windows and doors, the garden center is the place for you.

IMG_0299

I helped my wife Sweetie set up for a Children’s Gardening Class (Little Green Thumbs) held at the Garden Center.

IMG_5127

IMG_5130

You cannot have a gardening class without “soil.” Don’t call it dirt, especially at the Garden Center. They will kick you out.

IMG_5126

There she is, getting ready.

IMG_5133

The part I like the best is the art deco streamline design ladies restroom shown above. Don’t ask me how I got the photo. I’d have to take the fifth. (Not really, the door was open and I was in the hallway and it was unoccupied. That’s my story. Oh, and I didn’t open the door either.) If you are saying that it is hard to tell anything from the photo. It is that way live and in person also. To get better pics I’m afraid I might risk outraging public decency.

A Day Off and Tea for Two and the Home and Garden Show with Plus, Do I Need a New Dentist?

Last Friday was my day off, I get every other Friday off and I love it. Sweetie and like to spend the day together.

IMG_0079

Poor SuperPizzaBoy has to go to school those days. Sorry guy, this is Mom and Dad time.

Sweetie and I had a few errands to run ourselves. For one thing I had to go to the dentist. I saw something at his office though that is really making me wonder. What do you think?

IMG_0088

This is new, it kind of creeps me out.

IMG_0087

He also has this in his waiting room. Now this I can deal with even though it looks a little top heavy to me. At least I don’t find it creepy.

I’m off topic. Sweetie and I got together after our errands and off to lunch we went.

IMG_4861

We had lunch in a tea room. I had never done that before. It was great. The tea tasted good and was also beautiful.

IMG_4858

IMG_4857

The food was delicious also

IMG_4860

I had a turkey sandwich. The stuff on the left is chilled rice salad. I had never heard of such and it was wonderful.

IMG_4859

Sweetie had quiche, quiche lorraine. (Sorry since the B52’s song I just can’t say quiche lorraine.)

So filled up we traveled to the nearby Home and Garden Show at the Fairgrounds.

We saw balloon waterfalls,

The Gas Company was pushing natural gas powered cars

Sweetie, an Oklahoma State University certified Master Gardener had to check out their booth.

IMG_4870

What was the highlight there? This:

IMG_4869

I told Sweetie; “You are forbidden to tell me that Geocachers are nerds, they are nothing like the Master Gardeners.” What do you guys think? Geocachers or Gardeners, who are the bigger nerds. Tell the Truth now!

Well, school was over and we picked up SuperPizzaBoy and went out to visit his friend Nick. Nick’s family is the one with all the sheep.

IMG_4884

Momma was in no mood for photographs on Friday. You can tell she was yacking at me about it.

IMG_4882

So, I said fine and off we went.

It is my sweet Sister Ellen’s birthday today. If you have time please pop over to her blog here and tell her Happy Birthday. Today might be a little special because yesterday was the bridal shower for her youngest daughter (and my niece,) Jillian, who is getting married in a few months to a fine young man.

By the way, this is my 1000th post. Thanks to everybody out there who reads this blog and my fellow bloggers who have enriched my life the last three years so much. I have really discovered the kind and gentle part of the internet that I treasure. I have made a wide variety of new friends during this time and have been lucky enough to meet some of you in real life.

Sweetie – Did you do this?

This week I was looking at photos at the Sweetie and SuperPizzaBoy captured with their cameras.

DSCI0080

You see they both take pictures of stuff but they never download or print or anything.

DSCI0083

But these photos taken at Carlsbad, California are not half bad.

DSCI0084

So who is the photographer?

Way to go Sweetie!
