Stillwater/OK Botanical Gardens & Arboretum

Monday, June 9—Tulsa to Stillwater Sarah due to arrive at Tulsa Airport on Southwest Airlines at 2:50pm. I drove over to meet the flight as Jeff is teaching summer classes from 10 to 5, M-Th. The plane was delayed 2 hours, but Sarah arrived in good spirits and her luggage arrived with her. We drove from the airport to Whole Foods, where we shopped for our trip and ate dinner.

Tuesday,  June 10 — Stillwater, OK Botanical Gardens & Arboretum 

Sarah and I ran errands and then ate lunch at The Sushi House with my good friend, Valerie Bloodgood. For dessert we went to Orange leaf, a serve-yourself yogurt place and had delicious bowls of frozen yogurt—my favorites being peanut butter and coffee.
At Valerie’s recommendation, we toured the Oklahoma Botanical Gardens and Arboretum on the west side of Stillwater. It was not too unbearably hot, and the Gardens had added new trails and plots so it was a fun walk.



















Jeff prepared shrimp scampi on lemon-pepper pasta for dinner. After dinner we watched a couple of episodes of last season’s Downton Abbey because Sarah cannot get TV in her mountain aerie


Wednesday,  June 11—Stillwater Sarah and I ran more errands, shopped at the Hospice Resale store and Tuesday Morning went to the grocery for the final stocking up. We bought a selection of salads, and  before coming home, stopped at Red Rock Deli and bought Jeff some of their delectable chicken salad. We’d planned a salad dinner as Jeff taught late. Did several washes and packed in late afternoon. After dinner we watched another couple of episodes of Downtown before early bed.
