Fall Round-up
We were blessed this afternoon by the arrival of a guest from the State of Arkansas; Roy Ratliff came to visit today. You may have seen him on the road on the way to Moody’s, he drives a homemade wagon, painted on all sides with the words, “ROY’S STAGE LINE”. It took Roy 5 days to get here from Arkansas, as one of his horses threw a shoe and he needed repairs. We put him up at Bill Trammel’s place and went right to work. He also needed a new front window; a dump truck with a limb hanging out had gone by him and the hanging limb broke Roy’s window Payne, windshield out. We fixed him a new one from Plexi-glass. Since he was staying near by, the folks at Dry Creek Farm fixed him up a road trip basket of goodies for his horses, and his three Bantam chickens. Around here; you can’t just drive five days from Arkansas in a wagon without stopping by a Tahlequah Farmer’s Market Vendor for a road trip basket of fresh okra, radishes, turnip greens, tomatoes, potatoes, bell peppers, onions, and a complimentary bottle of “GREAT BALLS OF FIRE” pepper sauce to wash it down. This is the second time Roy has visited this year; he was here back in June. We really enjoy his visits. We are so blessed by God with his abundance, that we are able to bless others with the over flow!
