Back to the Farm

Not my picture but almost identical to what we saw.

Sheila and I spent a nice long day at the farm Saturday not doing much of anything.  The fall color seemed to be about at its peak and the last couple of miles of tree lined dirt road were a real treat.

We spent a couple of hours puttering around the house, doing light cleaning, etc. In the afternoon, I put in a nice hour in the backyard with my new Remington 597 HB, shooting at pieces of 1/2 inch lath stuck in the ground in the dirt embankment lining the storm cellar wall. 

By dark, we were ready to go and had our hearts set on dinner at Charlie's Chicken in Sallisaw.  Unfortunately, Charlie's was closed  and the only thing open worth consideration was THE Chinese place.  For the past couple of years, the Chinese place on Highway 59 South north of the I-40 junction (the only Chinese place in town) had gone down hill and we had been avoiding it.  However, we were pleasantly surprised to find new owners and a great selection on the buffet.  It was really a very good meal and quite inexpensive.  We were home by bedtime and a good time was had by all.
