Computer Home
Mom's knee is bothering her again, the shot she got at least gave her 4 months of pain free walking. Today she drove the golf cart on the walk.
Actually she ended up going in front of us, she could hear the conversation better that way. Today was Berean day, we had lots of mail to go through and still finished before noon. After lunch Phil tried and tried is probably the correct word to teach me how to load programs on the newly cleaned computer. Once I thought I knew what to do the computer was loaded into the car and taken home. The temperature was reading 96 degrees Fahrenheit. Both mares with foals were brought in to the stall barn. Eliza started drinking and drinking and drinking. By the time she quit she had gone through over 25 gallons of water. She must not have drunk out of the automatic waterer at all from last night until 2:00pm today. The waterer was checked and there is good cool clean water in it so I'm not sure what stopped her from drinking. It could be the 2 stallions on the other side of the fence. Tonight 2 buckets of water were left in the field. Tomorrow I'll have to move the cabin mares here and take Eliza and Jenis over there. The trailer was picked up from D & H RV repair with a written estimate to fix the damage. That was higher than expected $1509.80 for the repair and another $530 to fix the awning, $80.00 to fix the divider pole. A deposit of $650.00 was put down so they would order the awning material and the aluminum siding. They want the mats removed and the trailer power washed before bringing it back.
Steven Marchal's car was here but the boys and he were not in sight. The golf cart was taken over to Diane's pond and sure enough there they were cooling off in the refreshing water.
They moved over to the side and started the Spanish walk together under water.
Sangria and Jewel were hanging over the fence watching just hoping Steven would put the boys away and take them out. They got their wish.
We had to stop and watch the boys playing in the field before heading in to work. They are so photogenic. Below is Valiant rearing over Evan.
Finally the computer was brought in from the car and hooked up. I should have listened and taken notes when Philip was in the teaching mode. The rest of the evening was spent updating the website with the pictures taken over the last week and working on the video of Rhoda driving Bonnie.
