Good Hair Day At The Philbrook Art Museum

These are pictures from last Friday when I went to the Philbrook Art Museum with a bunch of girlfriends from Water Aerobics.  Today John and I went back - after an hour of testing out Golf Clubs at the local sporting goods store.  For me!  That's right, I am (probably) going to learn how to play Golf.  I always planned on learning to play once I retired, but had forgotten what with all the travel and basic excitement.  So we had to figure out if I wanted to play Left-handed or Right-handed.  I have adapted to doing so much Right-handed since all the equipment available to me wouldn't work the other way.  Like with Sewing Scissors - I am not as accurate using scissors with my Left-hand, since I got tired of all the blisters and had switched hands by the time I was seven.
If you do go to the Philbrook, you should probably just go ahead and join, because it saves you having to pay admission when you go back - and if you're like John and me, you will.  This month there was a special Monet exhibit and soon there will be the Christmas Festival of Trees.
 
 We saw some wonderful art, like this Rodin Statue
 And beautiful views of the fabulous garden
 and Carol, Michele, and Marilyn having their picture taken by my other friend Marilyn.
Good Hair Day Today
 
All day my hair has behaved nicely and felt as soft and silky as a head full of curl possibly can.   
Anyone who knows me knows that I am "Team Jennifer" all the way.  I mean, why on earth are we supposed to celebrate the marriage of Brangelina (Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie) - when the very concept is obviously lost on them.  But my point. and I do have one, is that I choose a new hair product (ever wonder what exactly was considered "hair tonic"?) because it had Jennifer Aniston's name on it.  I'd used up the travel size of my usual curl controller when I was in Hawaii this Summer, and had to try something new.  And there were endless choices.  Even once I'd decided to support Team Jennifer, I had to narrow it down.  The Living Proof Perfect Hair wasn't quite up to the task - but the Living Proof Anti Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream was terrific.  The Aveda Curl Controller is still first choice, but this is a very close second.

  1. Although I've been to the Gilcrease several times, somehow I've never gotten myself to the Philbrook ... sounds like a good outing for this fall. Oh and you hair does look terrific!

    1. Hi Simone - Thanks! I'll take you to the Philbrook any time you're in Tulsa. After such a busy Summer travelling, I'm planning on doing all my site seeing in Tulsa this Fall.

    1. Hi Darla - Thanks! My first museums were the ones in San Francisco, so I was surprised to see how well the ones in Tulsa measure up. Oklahoma is pretty fabulous in the culture department, even without factoring in the total population, which is less than Los Angeles.

  3. Golf! Wow. Hope you are enjoying playing. You may become addicted; some of my friends are but I've never been tempted. Your hair looks very nice. Did not realize you have such curly hair. Mine is straight and I always wanted curls!

    1. Hi Sanda - We will see how Golf and I get along. I am not prone to addiction, which is why my dedication to Water Aerobics is so surprising. I think it's the social aspect - the lunches, shopping trips, and museum visits that we do after getting out of the pool. For straight hair, yours does a beautiful job of curling under in a perfect do.

    1. Thanks FF - They have a gigantic staff and I'm sure your garden would look as lovely if you had them do it. The Gardner who revitalized Monet's Garden at Giverny is coming for a talk in two weeks - that's how seriously they take their garden.

  5. Haven't been to your blog in awhile now but had to come see the picture of your grandson and his wave! Just wanted to say I love reading, so quick, so funny, so entertaining-takes me out of the monotony for a moment! (Could have made this comment on any of the last three posts I read...just chose this one!)

    1. Hi Lisa - Thanks for the compliment! Did you ever do an all butter pie crust? No pressure - I'm pretty sure the kids keep you quite busy enough.
