"Our Gang" assembled at the farm, what we affectionately call my parents' home. My sister, Donna, and I each took a childhood friend to visit my parents. It had been years since they had seen Patty and even longer since they had seen Deborah. We were all looking forward to it and we weren't disappointed. It was a full day of laughter and feasting!
Mother laid out a spread! The table was set beautifully in fall colors. We pigged out on meatballs with a homemade barbecue sauce, cole slaw, potato salad, deviled eggs, baked beans and homemade rolls and cornbread. Dessert was Mother's famous chocolate pie and homemade chocolate ice cream. Weight Watchers, here we come! I always eat too much when I'm there since I don't get my Mother's food that often. Tomorrow is another day and I will try to do better, although I did bring home rolls and a whole chocolate pie. Maybe I should wait until next week to start watching my weight.
I don't know when I've heard so many peals of laughter. We talked about old times, the present, and planned future reunions. We all had a great time. Even Sugar, my Dad, was having fun, but then he was the only male with five women. That can't be too miserable.
This was my first time to meet the new donkey. He was very friendly and came to the fence when we approached. His mother, Sweetie, was always by his side. Jake did a huge hee-haw welcome for us and gobbled up the carrots we offered. The donkeys, however, are having some personal problems. Sweetie is in heat, kept backing up to Jake, but he has been suffering from ED lately. Get the Viagra.
The drive to and from the farm was especially fun for me since Patty and Deborah rode with me. We talked and laughed so much that the miles just flew by. We stopped at a produce market and they bought some vegetables and Patty got her Halloween pumpkins for decorating her front yard.
The reuniting with old friends, and letting my parents get to see their adopted daughters from our childhood, was really exciting. One thing is for sure, none of us are experiencing a shortage of endorphins today.

I'm am soooo jealous.....to be around old friends or new with your family there too is such a wonderful blessing.
I can't even imagine how delicious the food was. You all look so happy. Nothing like a good belly laugh to refresh your life and it doesn't cost a cent.....
Deborah needs to back off my pee paw. She is all snuggled up to him in EVERY picture!
I am so glad you guys had such a great time. I want to go next time. I promise I won't bring any of my off-spring.
What a fun day!!! I could use some of that endorphin-producing goodtimes! You all look beautiful...and I'll say it again, love Patty's hair!
I want a slice of that pie right now.
I'm so glad my sweet Sister always has the camera and a recap of events. I'll admit it was a dandy ole time. I don't remember when I have laughed so much or enjoyed a day more. Can't wait for the next get together.
What a fun day! The food looks delicious!
Does Donna live in Oklahoma? Is that why she didn't ride with y'all?
Yes Cristal. I drove all by myself from OK. I'm trying to move back to Texas. I miss the property taxes. Not.
Donna, where in OK do you live? My dad is from OK....a farm in the middle of nowhere OK.
Donna's not far from Durant. I want her back in Texas and on property that isn't infested with rattlesnakes.
I love being talked about.
Donna, you're an interesting and beautiful subject.
You are too my sweet sister!
