Sometimes…

I’m too negative for my own good.

I owe Tammy’s family a post outlining the good memories I will take with me, and things I saw here that awed and inspired me…unfortunately, my time here has come at a very tumultuous time in my life and it has been bittersweet, more bitter than sweet.

I will miss my friends Tony and Angela, and their children, I will miss Howard, and several of Folly’s clients who are good, honest, hardworking people who pay their bills and care very deeply about their children and the importance of family. I will miss the violent thunderstorms that were a hallmark of my first weeks here. And I will miss Brookside, and the architecture there, as well as the Art Deco architecture that abounds here. And oddly enough, what I call the Beercan Building in Tulsa, a structure that appalled me at first, grew on me as time went on. If I regret one thing, it is not getting to more museums while I was here. I was fortunate to get to tour The Philbrook, where I was surprised to see one of my favorite Bouguerau paintings pictured below, as well as the J. M. Davis Gun Museum and the Will Rogers Museum. I also didn’t get to hear any of the famous musicians who live here, Leon Russell in particular. Maybe some other time, when I am just passing through…

Some photos of things I was fortunate to see while I was here:
