5/1/09 & 5/2/09 - Tulsa, OK

The reason that we went to Tulsa is to see Pat's cousin Jim & Coral Pintus who live in the suburb of Broken Arrow. Pat & Jim are only 11 days apart in age and they spent a lot of time together when they were little kids. The last time that we had seen them was in July 1998 at their vacation home on the Colorado River south of Blythe, CA. We spent two full days with them and really had fun re-connecting. We were staying close to the Tulsa airport and on Friday....we got 6 inches of rain. When we left in the morning to go visit Jim & Coral it was raining so hard you could hardly see any traffic right in front of you on the freeway! We have not ever seen that much rain in one day before.....but boy is everything green and lush back here. We thought Tulsa was a very pretty city.
