On our walk today Joan told us how she and Tim were so appreciative about the support that has come in for Haiti. Mike Rieker gave Tim an accounting of what has been donated and it is more than $14,000.00 They now have enough money to pay the Missionary Flight International trip expense. When Joan and Tim asked for a bill they were told donate what you can but the direct cost of that flight was $9000.00. They were so thankful there was a way to get home from Haiti to the United States and double thankful for all the donations that came in to help pay for these cost. The garage sale has now brought in more than $9000.00 which will go to feed the Haitian children at Gabriel's school along with paying for electricity there. She also told us that Robyn Feucht and some other ladies were coming today to help her write thank you notes.
Once home from the farm, Amy Koch drove her truck down to TSC where we picked up 3 bags of grain for the foals along with another 50 pound salt block and 2 stall mats for Nora's paddock. After unloading the grain, loading up my wrecked truck tailgate and throwing it in the dumpster I headed down for work to finish all the paper work for the Friesian Heritage Horse registry. That paper work took me 2 hours last night to put together and another half hour down at work making copies and getting it ready to mail. This was because I'm registering 7 more foals by Raven and adding Sanna's to FHHI along with her DNA work so all of her foals by Raven can be registered. 8 horses x 4 to 5 pieces of paper per horse make a very thick envelope to mail, it cost $2.75 to send it out first class.
Steven Marchal drove to the farm this morning to work on Clara. While he was cleaning her up, his cat, Cali caught a mouse right in the stall area. I'm so pleased we have a good mouser in the barn right now. I'd much rather have a cat than poison!
