This trip, we enjoyed these adventures:
-toured Oral Roberts University, where our cousin's daughter, Ali, is a freshman. It is a beautiful campus. We saw the huge praying hands statue, the beautiful chapel, and the Steinway-only music building.
-had a pedicure (Terri, Brenda, & I)- and I continued my polish progression from my old "mauve" to this year's coral and now to dark red! Shocking, I know! (I consider this first #28a)
-drove to Bartlesville to actually go IN a Frank Lloyd Wright building! (First #38a) It is the Price Tower, the only "realized skyscraper" designed by FLW. It is not the most gorgeous building, but I love the stories surrounding his designs. This building also has an art center, housing some FLW furniture & textiles, and a great gift shop. They even have a Lego set of the "Falling Water" house! Thankfully, my grandsons are way too young for that, so I resisted. Though I did get some notecards, a mousepad, a calendar, a Christmas ornament,...
-ate at Zio's Italian Restaurant. This is a tradition, as far as Terri & I are concerned. As is Brenda's chili and chocolate pie :)
-bought some Barbee's Cookies for the trip home. Highly recommended by all.
45. Survived an earthquake!
Haha- "survived" is a little strong. On Friday night- actually Saturday morning at 2:15- Tulsa had a 4.7 magnitude earthquake. I was in a dead sleep and my bed suddenly started shaking like those old motel put-in-a-quarter beds! My first thought was actually that it was an earthquake, but, in the light of day, I was afraid maybe it was a dream- or a seizure! Thankfully, the news confirmed that we had indeed experienced an earthquake. Though I would never consider this a "bucket list" item, and since we didn't have any damage, it really was pretty exciting! No further weather firsts needed or welcomed!
