King Get-Together with Donnie and Connie

Since Donnie and Connie had come to visit, it was a good time to have some of the "King Family" members together for hamburgers.

Fall Break on the Farm

Jett came to the farm for fall break.  We always have fun!

Helping Grandpop load pipe

Of course, a trip to Braum's for a mix is always necessary!

The chickens checking out the hay in the back of the Mule

Taking tomato cages off the garden so Grandpop can brush hog it

After completing chores, Jett found a golf ball to entertain himself while I mowed and Grandpop brush hogged.

Crafts

Farm chores

Biscuits and gravy are always a request for breakfast.

Jett and I went to the movies to see "Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day".

It was a cute movie!

Of course, popcorn and a drink are always a must!

Gingerbread Cookies - Yum! Yum!

 

Meeting in Norman

We enjoyed lunch at Zio's in Norman when we met Mitch.

We always are thrilled to have the grandkids on the farm!!

The Chicken and The Cat

The chickens have decided to lay their eggs on the cart on the patio.  It sure makes it easy for me to gather the eggs.
One morning while I was in the kitchen, I heard a chicken cackle.  I supposed she had laid her egg so I went to see.  No Egg!!  Our cat, Tiger, was laying in the nest and the chicken was in front cackling!
I put the cat down out of the nest and went back into the house.  In about 10 minutes I heard the chicken cackle again.  I went outside to check and the cat as in the nest once again.  This time I put the cat in the garage and returned to the house.  The chicken hopped up in the nest and a few minutes later she had laid the egg.  Evidently the chicken was not happy that the cat had taking over the nest and she was tattling on him!!

The Assistant Farm Hand

Jett was my assistant farm hand for the week-end.  I was chief CEO of farm operations since Mel was  golfing in Myrtle Beach.

After picking him up from school after his program, we headed to the farm.  Of course, a boy was hungry, so we stopped for some chicken nuggets and fries.  

Time to play Legos

2 of Jett's favorites - Chocolate chip muffins and pumpkin bread

Jett played with this puzzle.
 At first, he was not sure, but soon became a pro at working it!

Biscuits and gravy - another of his favorites!

Playing with Tiger, the cat

Riding bareback

Since we were meeting his mom in Norman, we fed the horses and cats in the dark.

Jett used our new 4 in 1 flashlight so he could see while feeding Izzie.

Margaret and I were shopping at meeting Amberlea.

A stop at the doughnut shop in Wynnewood was a must!

Jett was not ready to leave the farm, but would return during his fall break.

A Fun Time in OKC

Mel and I made a trip to OKC to see Jett's school program; then, the next morning he flew out to Myrtle Beach for his annual golfing trip with the Surrey guys.

A cute program!  Jett said his lines clearly!  It did not seem as though he was nervous at all!

After getting Mel to the airport for his flight, I headed to Amberlea's house. We took Jett to school then spent a fun day shopping.  Lunch was at Ted's - Yum!  

Jett had an afternoon performance for his program.  Afterwards, he and I came to the farm.  He was my assistant farm hand!

Our First Fall Baby!

Our first fall baby for this year

Our New Comfy Recliners

After Mel's chair had a problem I decided it was time for new chairs.  I found what I wanted online; but no furniture store in our area had them.  To order and get the recliners would take 6 weeks.
A furniture store in OKC had them in stock so Mel and I made a trip to get new recliners.  He sat in one to make sure it was comfy and what he liked.  It was!
After having them loaded we enjoyed lunch at Shorty Small's then came home.

A wise purchase we made!
