It was another chilly morning, yesterday my bare feet got so cold while cooking breakfast that today as soon as I got out of bed the insulated slippers were pulled out of the closet and put on. With Fedi still in the hospital there was no walk again. The picture below was sent yesterday but somehow I missed it so am posting it today. This is mom and Aunt Jinnie sitting on the swing on the porch of Lani Kai enjoying the view of the Gulf while Aunt Jinnie is reading to guest book to mom.
Right after breakfast Evan was moved back into his paddock as the one he was in is now out of hay. Next I went to the barn to start the clean up from the weekend. Mark brought the tractor over with 10 bags of cement then came in to help with the floors. When we finished that we started on his next cement job. He is building two slabs at the new barn, one for each of the grills. I helped him get the cement mixer on the skid steer as that is the easiest way to transport that.
We brought a couple extra bags of cement over on the golf cart just in case we needed them.
We finished the first one, emptied out the mixer then drove the golf cart over to the other barn to pick up more cement bags. Below is a video of Mark using the sawzall without the blade to vibrate the cement. This distributes the cement into the corners and along the sides. Below he is finishing up the last slab.
While I was working with him I got an email from Gaetano. He finished his part on the website and that was ready for me to finish my part. He said it is scheduled to go LIVE on Friday. I left Mark at the barn to do all the clean up and went home to finish my part of the website getting that done in less than an hour. My next job was to bake 2 pies for Berean. The plan was to bake pumpkin pies but I noticed I still had pecans left and really needed to adjust the baking time for pecan pies so decided to bake two of those. Last week the pecan pies got too brown on top but one of them was not quite set in the middle. This afternoon I lowered the baking temperature to 350 instead of 375 and put aluminum foil loosely on top and popped them in the oven for 40 minutes. I knew they wouldn't be done but wanted to make sure the crust wasn't getting too brown. The aluminum foil was removed and it was baked for 10 more minutes then the foil put back on and baked for another 10 minutes. By that time it was close but still a little runny. I gave it 6 more minutes then turned the oven off and left them in the oven for another 10 minutes. 
They seem to be fine but I won't know until we try them tomorrow at the Berean office. I'm sure they are baked enough just hoping they are not too done.
Rhoda posted a couple really cute pictures of Zeke, our youngest grandchild.
I also saw two pictures from Stephanie of Zion, Eden and Elisabet taken last weekend for their daddy daughter dance.
Each girl gets to make her own stuffed animal at this function. My grand daughters love doing crafts so they all had a wonderful time.
David sent the picture below just now.
We saw the video of them cleaning out and carving these pumpkins so it is nice to see the finished project. Behold Israel and Elisabet's jack-O-lanterns.
The work today was really physical and we are both tired. We will sleep good tonight.
