I stopped by The Gathering Place on the western side Tulsa on the Arkansas River earlier this week. It was still too hot and I’m still getting over an illness, so I couldn’t walk around much. But I got this picture of the koi pond near the main lodge.

Get Off Of My Cloud
I caught this image of a cloud the other day near Wagoner, Okla.
And They Still Don’t Have No Stinking Badgers!
This building in Tulsa was used in a popular movie. Can you guess the name of the movie?
The Tulsa Downtown Skyline
It may not be a big city like New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta or Miami, but Tulsa has more community vibes. They call Reno, Nev. the “Biggest Little City in the World,” but I think Tulsa deserves that honor. The main roads run perpendicular north and south and east and west soContinue reading “The Tulsa Downtown Skyline”
Sunset Over Fort Gibson Lake
Labor Day Weekend is a big weekend at Fort Gibson Lake as many people take advantage of the three-day weekend to say goodbye to summer.

Hope you all have a great day andContinue reading “Back To School At NSU”

The site used to be the capital of the Cherokee Nation prior to the removal of Native Indigenous People during theContinue reading “Tree Planted In Memory Of My Late Mother At New Echota”
Blast Off To SpaceCamp
Once upon a time, my school would take trips to SpaceCamp in Huntsville, Ala. It was about 120 miles away from where I grew up so they’d usually do the trips on Saturdays or during Spring Break. But they stopped doing it. I don’t know why. The faculty was kinda crazy at my alma matterContinue reading “Blast Off To SpaceCamp”
Best Calzone Ever!
Hands down, Mellow Mushroom makes the best calzones I’ve ever had. Of course, I’ve never visited a pizzeria in Chicago or New York City. But I’d like to take that challenge some day. Mellow Mushroom has locations mostly in the South and eastern Midwest. If you’ve ever seen Trouble with the Curve, Clint Eastwood’s characterContinue reading “Best Calzone Ever!”
