Thumbs up Oklahoma Trip!!!! WOW!!!!

Whew, my butt is sore from the long trip!

First stop was the in-laws at Lake Texoma.....
Very, Very nice....Nothing like listening to the whipowills at dusk or dawn!
Well I could just go on and on and on...........
But you all here at BT would be smacking me hard if I did not tell and show pics of Frank's Place at Sonlight Nursery!
The pics will be posted later! (Only took 300 and need to reduce them)...
I know Frank! I did not think I took that many either! LOL
My many thanks to Frank for the amount of time chatting with both me and then hubby as well as helping hubby pick the Mikawa (in the growing field) that we will come back for next time!
3 hours is a long time for chatting!

I can only tell each of you that reads this thread that if you DON'T Make the trip
to his Nursery you are the loser!
Now we all know that I am always on the look out for good stuff and will hunt the bargains down and I have been known to haggle for a better deal and I can tell you that I left with a VERY Loaded Down Truck FULL!
Did I spend a lot of money?
Hail No! (deep southern accent)
I found a very clean run Nursery, very Healthy Trees (no matter where I looked), trees of all shapes and sizes, the size of his stock was fantastic! Hubby is planning our next trip to Frank's and we just may stop in and see the in-laws as well !
Some of the specials that followed me home were Maples, Elms, Gingkos, hubby found a perfect pine! I did find and bring home this adorable Satzuki Azzie !
Matt (kaede) does he have some Maples!!!!! Found a better one for you!
Yes Jase he has them as well (Azeleas)!
And Grampz he has some to die for Baldy's.
Thomas J. take the trip to Frank's first for some awesome pines!
Well time to go water my new babies all 60 or so! I never counted them!!!!LOL
Pics will come later!!
Irene
