Shopping for the Thanksgiving Dinner

Thanksgiving would be at our house and we would have 20.  Mel and I went to Crest to purchase the needed groceries.  We made it a fun day by shopping then enjoying chicken-fried steak at Tiffany's.

Our First Taste of Winter

Early in November we had our first taste of winter.  We received about an inch of snow on the farm.  A record of 2.5 " was set in OKC. Could this be an indication of our coming winter?

An added note:  November, 2014 was the coldest on record since the 1800's!!

A Fun Week-end in Tulsa

Mel and I were delegates to the Farm Bureau Convention that was held in Tulsa.  We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel.  The location was great and it was easy to shop at the stores close-by.

Soup and sandwich were tasty since it was a cold blustery day!

Dinner at Chuy's

A fun time away from the farm!

The Woods Family Visit the Farm

We were thrilled to have the Woods Family for a visit!  

A Rough Week for Mel

Mel had a rough week with bumps and bruises.  The first thing that happened was he stumped his toe.  He had a very sore toe as well as being purple!  I was not able to get a picture of the second happening.  He was on a ladder putting conduit up to have an electrical outlet close to the horse stalls.  He wanted to be able to plug in a heater for the horses' water.  Fortunately, the ladder just slid down the wall and he did a great job of "riding the ladder" down.  Luckily, he did not break anything - just had skinned shins, a sore ankle and bruised knee!  Thank goodness, Jeff came by just as it happened and was gracious enough to complete the job for us!

Branson

Time for our annual trip to Branson with our church group.  This year we had 11 on our trip.
Except for thinking a wallet had been left at the Missouri Welcome Center we had no problems.
Luckily, the wallet had just been put in a bag instead of the purse.
A fun group that enjoyed seeing Clay Cooper Show, Wade Landry Show and Jonah, then going on the Branson Scenic Train and Branson Belle Showboat!  Many funny stories and memories were enjoyed by all!

Our group is already talking about next year's trip!!
