| Our Thanksgiving meal consisted of ham, dressing, asparagus and brocolli/cheese casserole. Most of it was wonderful....the b/c casserole...not so wonderful. |
 |
| Our youngest pilgrim made four pumpkin pies which were pretty good and which were shared...mostly shared. We also made jalapeno poppers, blonde brownies and peach cobbler, the cobbler didn't quite turn out as it usually does. But we still had a very good Thanksgiving! Ho, ho, ho....here we go! Thanksgiving #3 on Sunday. |
 |
| A beet pulp sack makes for excellent rain gear--pockets and all. |
 |
| Jr. found himself an emergency poncho, I thought it was a bag from the cleaners. |
 |
| Thankful for the rain and for two pretty good boys. |
 |
| Happy Birthday Calebob! |
 |
| Enjoying some gravy pizza! |
 |
| Then off to a speech contest in Caney Valley, Kansas. |
 |
| We went to the Ranch Rodeo Finals in Amarillo, it was a great event. Nobody we knew was participating, but we enjoyed it just the same. There was a poet from Cyril and a saddle/chap maker from Cement there sharing and selling their wares. There were more spurs and bridle reins than you could count. Big cowboy hats, short brimmed "Herbert Weedn" hats and everything in between, Jr. came home with a "Stormy Kromer" hat...it's a "cool cowboy" version of Elmer Fudd's hunting hat. Little Jr. came home with a new felt hat, of which has brought forth the nickname "Thumbtack". There were little cowboys selling Australian Sheppard puppies, old cowboys selling squeeze chutes and a chick from Alva, Wyoming selling Giant Rubber Water Tanks....we've got one or two of her tanks. Can't break'em. Anyway, it is a good trip, only four hours from home with plenty to see and do. Our hotel was nice on top of all that! |
 |
| Rocking my babies....who were PAST full after eating at the Big Texan...and no we didn't try the 72 ounce steak. The waitress chick told us that someone tries it daily during the summer....I can't imagine...it is the size of a huge roast. Must comment on the Quarter Horse Museum....AMAZING even on our second trip to see it. |
 |
| At the Tulsa State Fair, Cale won the showmanship for the Simmental breed. Afterwards Ruth was wanting a bite of the award, she had tired to lick it several times. No telling what Jerry said just before this picture was taken. Cale won the FFA creed at Panhandle State's Interscholastic Meet on Tuesday and was second with his speech. No pictures of the event,but Very Cool! |
 |
| We attended the OSU/KState Football game and of course we all needed appropriate attire so after a "quick" shopping trip to the Student Union we had our picture taken (in our new duds) by some very nice ladies from Snyder, Oklahoma. I am thankful that Jr. Jr. wasn't giving them the "dorky" boy expression which plagues most of his recent photos---note his Daddy's hand--positioned on the "straighten up" button. |
 |
| Jr. Jr. enjoyed the game, but the ending was great fun, he was "KING of the Cup Gatherers" OSU won the game and is now #2! Missed the earthquake, we must have been in the car, but made it home by 2am or 3am...depending on your view of daylight savings time. Off to church the next morning, my Daddy always said, "You can't stay out all night and sleep all day". No sleeping today, not even in church. |
