Fall Festivus

My friend, Kin, recently stopped by to visit on his way through this area. As I walked out to greet his arrival, I found this on my carport! You know how I love to find surprises on my doorstep!


I immediately popped it open and tasted....yum! Home-made SALSA!! Kin tried to point out the danger of eating anonymous food left on your doorstep, but do I ever listen to reason?
Heck No!!
Actually it was great. Now I just have to buy some chips to go with it! I eventually found out that it came from a Salsa Fairy named Jesse! Thanks!

Since Kin doesn't make it to the city of Idabel often, I gave him the royal treatment by forcing him to attend Fall Fest with me and the youngest, Cayman.


FallFest in Idabel is great, but there are some things I just don't want to know...and no, I didn't ask...
Cayman couldn't wait to get into the "jumping thing"....

While I couldn't wait to kick the children out of the way and take my photo with my hero, SpongeBob!!


And, of course, in McCurtain County, no event is complete without the opportunity to win a firearm of some kind.
And then it was on to the face painting at Roy's Pine Telephone booth.
Brandon did a great job on Cayman...




Then Cayman hitched a ride back to the car and home to Mama!!!



I enjoyed Kin's visit and appreciated his company for the ride to McKinney and back! Thanks Kin!


On another note, I seem to have actually found a riding buddy here in Idabel. WHAT?? Yes, you heard me. I met Rickey while I was out with Cayman and Slade on the bikes. Since then we've gone on a couple of rides. It's nice to have someone to help give that motivation to get out there and ride. With the weather in the 50's today, I probably would have stayed in hibernation on the couch. But together, we braved the gray, cold day and rode the Holly Creek Loop together. This is Rickey, trying to figure out how to post a photo to FaceBook on a rest break.

And you know how I love those hay bales....
We both thought this was a hoot! It's a Hummer, parked in front of a run-down shack. Talk about priorities.... LOL!








Rickey went to the bike shop in Texarkana for a pump adapter and came back with these....a new helmet and a new mountain bike!! Awesome. I guess I better get my flat fixed.

  2. I have the house to myself these days. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) I have a real job these days and it's eating into my play time

    Tell Cindy to help herself. I hate to hear them crunching when I step or drive on them. It sounds like money going down the drain!

    A pie made by me? You don't want to see, let alone taste that!
