They are HERE!!!

 Wow.

THAT was an adventure...

But they arrived safe and sound,

were able to get a pretty black Charger

(police car...)

and drove through a nice rain storm.

But got here about 3:45 am.

We visited until nearly 5 and then we

all headed off to BED.

This morning, after a good breakfast,

we went down to the farmer's market

just to say Hi and get some no heat

jalapeno peppers for some poppers we

are going to make for dinner tomorrow.

And then a drive around town and

out to the farm.

Jim and Sabrina got on the 4-wheeler

(technically it BELONGS to Jim...)

and took a tour of the property and their

little corner of our world.

And then I put them to work.

(Evil laugh...)

We each took a basket or bucket and  a row

of tomatoes and picked ALMOST a full

5-gallon bucket on cherry tomatoes!

(And Kyle harvested yesterday!)

Then it was on to the acorn squash.

Kyle and Sabrina checked the pumpkins.

They were READY!

Rod was DEEP in the okra section.

We got some really cute little pie pumpkins!

And then it was time to head back to the house.

Jim and Kyle stayed at the farm to talk

and make future plans.

Sabrina, Rod and I headed back to WaKeeney.

I'm going to slice tomatoes and get them ready

for the freeze dryer.

Sabrina is taking a shower and a nap.

Then, we will probably go out to dinner at the

local Blazin' Bull restaurant.

They (I hear) have really good juicy

hamburgers and great side dishes.

We are having a terrific time together!

SO glad they made it here!

(Plus Kyle and Bear stayed out at their house

last night, it went well after Bear settled

down and decided nobody was going to eat him.

He even figured out how to go up AND

down the stairs! Way to go BEAR!)
