9 August 2024 Tulsa: Another Day of Fun Birds and Gardens

 


I walked over to Donna and Rays to help finish up the sushi meat from the previous nights appetizers.  I got to help make lemon bars, consolidate the recycling and drive over to buy some ice.  Then we headed back to the house to get ready for dinner.  However the plans changed faster that we did so by the time we had our going out to dinner clothes the plan was to head over to the pool and drink cocktails.  We respected Donna's itinerary too much to change it so drastically so we went out to dinner at Bin 35, just the two of us, and then we went to the Philbrook Gardens and Museum.  What a fantastic experience.  The gardens were extensive and the museum was a wide ranging delight
