Brr it was a cold morning. Ruth took Fedi in to the emergency room as his neck was hurting. They took another x-ray but not sure what the problem is, it could be he has a screw loose. That just doesn't sound right. It may be better to say, "it could be one of the screws have loosened up." Poor Fedi, no matter how you say it he finds it painful. Diane and Mike spent the night at Middle Grove as they have airbnb guests in their basement. That meant no walk for Joan and I. Mark has ordered 2 pallets of cement from Home depot and that was delivered this morning.
Those pallets are so heavy our tractor would not be able to pick them up. Thankfully Home Depot sends a heavy duty fork lift with the truck to unload. Below the skilled driver has unloaded them into the barn for us.
It is pretty cool how he drives the fork lift to the back of the truck and then lifts it up and gets off.
Mark and Mackenson ended up getting 2 more pallets from our pile and dividing the cement into 4 pallets so the tractor can handle the weight.
After breakfast I drove to Dr. Stoller's office in Pekin IL for my annual teeth clean and check. That is an hour of laying around in a comfortable reclined chair while the tech talks and I listen.(one can't talk back with the instruments and hands inserted into the mouth) I almost took a nap but thought that would be rude. No cavities and I'm thankful for good teeth as I like to eat and use those good strong not so white teeth everyday. As soon as I got home Leah, Oliver, Madiera and her colt were brought back over from the cabin field. Leah was teased and is still in her foal heat. She stood well while Valiant covered her. I was worried that she would be out. She should have been covered yesterday but I was just too busy to get that job done. Thankfully she is still in and in strong. 
This afternoon I needed to take a trip in to Peoria to pick up ingredients to bake some cinnamon rolls for the Berean treat tomorrow. Skip can't be there so I will need to leave early tomorrow morning to pick up the Berean mail and get it to that office before 9:00 am. The post office was closed today for the Columbus day holiday. Joan was able to get an appointment to get the oil changed in mom's wheel chair van tomorrow morning. That needed to be done before the big trip to Gulf Shores on Saturday but the only appointment available was tomorrow morning so mom won't be able to go to Berean tomorrow to volunteer.
The renter at the foaling apartment today did not leave by 11:00 am. He and his son were out deer hunting and didn't get back until later. That wouldn't have been a problem but we had another guest coming in today. I think they left before noon. The new guest had been told she could come in by 1:00 but ended up not being able to come until tonight so it all worked out. The only real work done today was laundry and baking. It really did seem like a day of rest.
