Tulsa Garden Center - Greenhouse

The Tulsa Garden Center was quite lovely what with the Bonsai show (see pics on previous post) and the beautiful day it was!

Here are a few pictures of the plants inside their greenhouse.  Enjoy! 

Home Sweet Home - More apartment pictures

There's something inviting about an adult-only pool area.

One of the many BBQ areas

There's about a dozen or so swings or bench areas to sit and read:

The back side of the complex next to the road/gate area (not my back yard area)

Another BBQ area - bring your own gas container

Community Herb Garden :)

A pond area - apparently they haven't clean it out for the summer yet:

The road entrance to the complex

Side road that leads to the back gate. The neighborhood beside us is filled with duplexes that look like ranch homes. An elementary school and more private ranch-style homes built in the 50's.

Garden patios where people grow all sorts of plants, tomatoes, strawberries and many other items.

Back of the Clubhouse/office

Walkway to the pool and tennis court (only one but hey, that's all you need, right?)

Why don't you come visit and sit a while?

Home Sweet Home - New Apartment Pics So Far

We moved into the new apartment this weekend. I'm exhausted. Mike is fried and the oldest son and his two moving buddies are sore as all get out. Those guys did a fantastic job of getting us moved in. So, here are the new pictures of the apartment so far. I walked the grounds a little bit today but still haven't seen all of the complex. I'll get more pictures tomorrow when I'm out and about. Let me Introduce our movers :) First, there's our son, Big Un

Then there's Ryan

And now Justin

Oh, and their mascot, Memphis

We enter from here (4-lane very busy road)

The Side street - beautiful private homes as well as very nice duplexes!

Welcome!!!

My Desk - Where Genius Happens

Mike's Desk - Where Genius Naturally Lives

We have a fireplace!

And a built-in bookshelf!

The Kitchen - we actually have an ice maker in this refrigerator. Our last place was too cheap to install one. Modern cabinets and countertops and an ISLAND! *sigh of happiness*

The Back Door - sliding glass door (with a screen) leading to a private patio.

The Patio Gate leads to a parking area in the back that is incredibly convenient!

Well, that's all for now, folks! I'll show you the bedrooms later (we made one of the bedrooms into our TV room and the "living room" into our office). The master bedroom is a mess so I'll show it later. Oh! Also in the master bedroom, there's another bath with a shower and a separate utility closet that has our washer/dryer hook-up. I'm telling you, when we get another house of our own, the laundry room is going right there in the bedroom with us. SO CONVENIENT! You guys take care!
