Clara

This morning I had an email asking how tall Clara was so after our walk we sticked her and she is right at 15.2hands. Steven Marchal left his measuring stick at the barn and it is the deluxe one so it made measuring her easy. Once that was done, Mom made us a great breakfast with coffee, orange juice, fried potatoes, farm fresh eggs, bacon and whole wheat toast. Diane told us a funny story at breakfast about her grand daughter Ella at 3 years of age asking if she could ride Clara. Diane told her that is Clara and no, you can't ride her, she isn't trained. Ella thought about it for a while then told her, "I could train her to go potty for you."
After breakfast mom called about her verizon plan and we found out she really does only have 250MB which we thought would be plenty. She is over already by 5MB with 6 days to go so have gone to the higher cost plan of 5 Gs starting December 24th.
Rachel had 2 loads of broken up concrete dumped and 4 more loads coming to help support the dam. All these years we prayed for the lake to fill up and this year we are hoping for the lake to go down so we have less stress on the dam. This year with all the rain, the lake is TOO full.
One good thing today is seeing Ribbon standing with her back to me and seeing that she is obviously pregnant. When Ribbon came back from Middle Grove, she had lost some weight so we were thinking she may have lost the baby. Ribbon is so huge that she hides her pregnancies well. She is due the end of January and it is only now that I am seeing her sides sticking out.
