Turkey Soup

We left for church just a bit after 8:00am and made it to Bible study before the starting time. Just before we got there my phone rang, it was Diane, she discovered her fur coat is a FAKE! She stated, "I guess I really am a country bumpkin!" She still got a good buy, just not an unbelievable buy. What made this extra funny was when she was telling us the price she was sure that the Salvation Army must have thought the coat was fake fur, the price was so cheap. Turns out it WAS. After church Diane invited everyone out to her place for turkey soup. She also served just baked crusty warm bread and butter, different cheeses, crackers and for dessert, brownies.

The Davidovics and Karin finally made it back from Gulf Shores after a 21 hour trip. Their transmission gave out about an hour south of St. Louis. They were towed in to a mechanic shop and rented a van to make it home but all of this took time and money. They are exhausted. At least Karin made it back in time for the volley ball game. She and Rhoda left for that after downing a bowl of soup.
Rhoda received a very sweet thank-you note along with some gift certificates today at church during lunch from Halley Stratton. That was really sweet but not necessary, Rhoda likes to take kids riding.
After dinner Mike, Mark and I needed to put 4 round bales in and this had to be accomplished without the skid steer and in the dark. Mike used the Allis Chambers with the bale fork on the back while Mark and I held flashlights and it worked out fine, better than I expected. He will need to load up the paddocks with hay again on Thursday as we are all leaving town on Friday. Us for a wedding in Louisville and Mike & Diane for Puerto Rico.
