Just Lazy or Too Busy

Saturday Ben and Taunya's kids had fun swimming at mom's beach and going off the high dive at Rachel's. I have pictures and videos but they are still on the camera of that.
Wicktoria is bagged up and will need to be watched even though she isn't due until August 17th.  This morning I needed to check on her first thing. She is in with Star and Roxanne. Tomorrow I will need to move a bale in that paddock and move Wicktoria into the paddock next to the stall barn.
I also found out Saturday that Roxanne's filly Giselle's sire is Valiant not Evan.  The DNA results came back and proved I guessed wrong. Not that this is a bad thing, the filly is exquisite and should be tall but I really wanted to see what Roxanne would produce when bred to Evan. Oh well there is always next year and this time FOR SURE only Evan was used.
We had 3 testimonies in Peoria Saturday night. It was such a blessing to be there listening to that old old wonderful redemption story that is new for each sinner that repents.
Today Addyson and Jack came with us (grandpa and grandma) to church. Israel sat with us for the morning service and when it was over Jack was told he would be going with Israel to sit at the kids table for lunch. I then turned to Israel and said, "Israel will show you the ropes."  Israel responded with "What ropes?" "I don't see any ropes."  I just had to laugh.
Church was pretty full as we had a lot of guests for the baptisms. After church the entire family came for dinner then fun and volleyball at the playground. Joan built a fire which was perfect for cooking marshmellows and bacon. Spark brought his guitar over and the singing went on quite late. No one wanted to leave that perfect fire. Rhoda and Lee took Nancy home on their way home to Bloomington. Ben leaves us tomorrow morning early, he will be working in Bloomington and will stay there in town.
Some beautiful pictures were posted today of Sunny. His owner is now showing him in dressage and Sunny is doing wonderful.

We bought Sunny as a 1 year old, had him gelded and then Rhoda trained him. We bought him because he was beautiful but a gelding has no place on a breeding farm so sold him to Rachel who lent him to us for many trail rides over the years. Sunny now lives with Margie in Michigan and it warms my heart to see what a perfect pair they are. 
Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some time to download the pictures from Saturday and Sunday but right now I'm heading to bed. Good night ALL.
