Christmas Parade

Saturday, 10 December 2011

It was in a small town called Kellyville in the state of Oklahoma. My favorite of the parade were these 2 'penguins'.



For me, Christmas parade is not complete with the Santa Claus!

The Beauties of the Changing Seasons

Friday, 18 March 2011: Tulsa, Oklahoma. Spring was officially the 30 March but the tree was already in the spring mode. I thought this was beautiful.


Thursday, 28 April 2011: Tulsa, Oklahoma. Officially summer was not until 21 June, but the tree was!


Wednesday, 23 November 2011: Tulsa, Oklahoma. Autumn is between 23 September and 21 December. I was waiting for the the whole tree to turn orange but I am not sure I would ever get that because the leaves were falling down!


Friday, 1 April 2011: Bristow, Oklahoma



Monday, 11 April 2011: Tulsa, Oklahoma


Thursday, 18 August 2011: Tulsa, Oklahoma

Veterans Day 2011

Friday, 11 November 2011

It was Veterans Day. We decided to take advantage of some of the freebies!

These cakes were not freebies. They were displayed at the Sam's Club (6922, South Mingo Road, Tulsa) and attracted by attention.






Sam's Club gave away Hugo collapsible cane to veterans on the 9th, 10th & 11th November. We didn't know about the 9th and 10th so we went only today. We are thankful that veterans do not have to be a member of the Sam's Club to get one. Luckily they are still available. Mike was very happy to receive it. Thank you Hugo and Sam's Club!



Car washing was not in our plan today. Mike read somewhere about free car wash for veterans, but didn't take note of the places giving the free car washing. Good thing we saw the sign board while driving to our next destination. Thank you Phillips 66 (Paradise) for the free wash.

Our first time here - Phillips 66 (Paradise) Car Wash at 9637 East 71st Street, Tulsa. We learnt that they only charged $3 for a wash. That is the cheapest price that I know of in Tulsa. I thought $5 was the cheapest, so this was a good thing to know!



We decided to have our lunch at Texas Roadhouse, 11111 East 71st Street, Tulsa. They were giving free meal to veterans from 11am-2pm. We only had to pay for my meal plus tip. Thank you Texas Roadhouse!



Arby's was offering a free roasted beef sandwich this day, so on our way home we drove to an Arby's and Mike got his free sandwich, which he will eat another day. Thank you Arby's.

Applebees, Chili's and Olive Garden were giving free meal to veterans and active duty military today as well. We went to Applebees last November 11th. Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant so we decided to go for dinner at Olive Garden this November 11th. Like the Texas Roadhouse, we only had to pay for my meal plus tip. Thank you Olive Garden!

Golden Corral! They gave free meal from 6-9 pm the Monday after the Veterans Day. For people who can eat, it is worth it because it is buffet and you eat all you want! Mike got his free while I paid my meal $9.89 (senior discount of $0.60) + Tax $0.84 amounting to $10.73. For that price, I guess it is okay if I considered it for 2 persons (even though Mike ate free). I don't eat much so for me I wouldn't go and eat there.

Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve

Friday, 30 September 2011

We used the directions from Google maps to get us there. The GPS wouldn't read the address of 1925 Woolaroc Ranch Road, Bartlesville, OK 74003. Or you could get the directions from their http://www.woolaroc.org.

Using the $2 coupon that we found on http://www.greencountry.org, we paid $10 instead of $14. So that was good, since we had to drive about 55 miles.

Tulsa Historical Society and Museum

Saturday, 24 September 2011

It was Museum Day and we got free admission (saving us $8) to Tulsa Historical Society and Museum. Good place to learn about the history of Tulsa.

I love ballet even though I don't know how to ballet dance. When I was a little girl I cut pictures of ballet pictures and pasted them in books. When I saw these 5 sculptures of Oklahoma's ballerinas in their respective signature role in the museum garden, I was very excited.
