Many Hands Make Light Work

Joan couldn't walk today, she had her 2 grand daughters this weekend and needed to drive Aubrey to school. What we didn't know is that she went straight from that school to the shop and put everyone to work stamping envelopes. By the time mom and I arrived at 9:00 am they had been working for close to an hour. We have no Bibles to work with today but Tim Martin has promised to bring a bunch tomorrow morning for Thursday's workers. It was also a smaller than usual mail day because of the Memorial Day Holiday. Below mom, Shirley and Eva Jean are busy with letters and studies.
 Joan's crew is hard at work in the conference room stamping envelopes and stuffing boxes.
 The letter below was kind of pitiful, we can't imagine how scared and lonely it must be in jail. This inmate is asking for prayer. Please pray for him that he could find peace and learn to know of Jesus.
 Chuck was busy working on applying labels to envelopes then envelopes to studies. 
 Dave and mom were busy reading letters.
 Below Joan had everyone working on stuffing boxes while she kept the copier going. We had a wonderful crew and were able to finish all the letters and studies by noon.
We went to Denny's for lunch then after lunch all were able to leave for home instead of working the afternoon. The saying Many hands make light work, really did apply today. We had many willing hands and because of that the work load was an easy one for everybody. Of course the fact that it was a light mail day may have contributed to us getting done by noon.
I took Emma over to visit Rick James again this afternoon but still no success. I have a plan for tomorrow, hopefully it won't be too late. At least I know Emma is willing to stand.
Once Mark got home he helped with getting mares teased and covered. All of the mares we are teasing now have a foal by her side which makes it a two person job. Sangria was teased but would not show, I believe she is in but is too worried about her colt at this time to focus on a stallion.
Ribbon was covered by Valiant with no problem at all. Her filly is so sweet and also smart. She figured out quickly once Mark opened the gate how to get out the opening and run to mama.
Indy was covered by Evan. Indy is a mystery. 
I only knew she would be in season by the ultrasound we had done on her 19 days ago. That showed she had just ovulated. I took her over to both stallions and she would not show. Finally I just tied her up at Evan's breeding stand took him over and he was convinced she was in. By the time he sweet talked her enough she finally did show but not until Mark had to come help with the lead ropes. Her filly has the WOW neck and WOW movement. Hopefully I can get a few videos soon of some of these foals now that Emily is coming home. Tonight the episode of Lake Life shown on television is the ti-pi village.
This is the one Horsemeister provided the horses for. We took 2 Friesian mares, 2 paint mares and 2 foals for this one episode. Since it is on a channel we don't have we will try to watch it later.
