No foal yet. She seemed restless most of the night but more than likely it was because she was in a stall. I went out early to take them out to the paddock. I didn't sleep well as I had the phone by the bed and the stall monitor on. No walk today, Ruth is now down in Mississippi enjoying the beautiful warm weather by the Gulf. She said the state park is very nice and sent the picture below while writing, "in my happy place."
Instead of walking once the mares were turned out I cleaned both of the stalls used then brought in another bale of straw for Tatiana's stall and another bale of hay and divided that half into Tatiana's feeder and half into Jewel's stall, filled all 4 water buckets then went in to make Mark's breakfast. I picked up mom by 8:15 am and we were on our way to the Berean office. We were a little short of volunteers today having only 6 of us to get the job done.
Below Marvin is bringing in and installing the rest of the advanced study shelving.
Kathy was our only reader today.
Skip manned the computer today entering all of the studies and the Bible requests. I worked on the postage machine.
Sharon and Shirley opened and processed all of the studies while mom stamped the return address on envelopes, sealed envelopes and helped Marvin with the post cards.
There were 19 Bible requests today, Below Skip and Shirley are getting those ready to be mailed out.
The Bibles and the studies going out today were loaded into the wheel chair van to take to the Hanna City post office. The studies to be graded were taken to Phil and Anna's house. Phil will take them to Amanda at Meisters to give to her mom for the Roanoke church to grade. As soon as I got home the motorhome was taken outside and plugged in. The slideout was extended and then the inside given a good cleaning. Joan had someone coming today to look at it for renting in April. When that was done it was time to do a little house cleaning. With this warm weather those Asian beetles are invading our house. The upstairs must have had more than a hundred of them. They are also congregating around the big doors in the gym. Mark picked up Mackenson this afternoon to help with the sanding of all the boards for the bunk beds.
There are SO many boards needing to be sanded then stained. I went out after supper to bring Tatiana and Jewel back into the stalls for the night. They are much more relaxed tonight. Both of the mares had rolled when outside so Tatiana was groomed again. Both mares went right to their grain buckets where each had about a cupful of grain waiting. Once that was finished they both settled down to graze on hay.
I've been watching on the monitor but both mares are quiet tonight. It is good for them to be in a routine and I'm so thrilled I can easily clean stalls again. Hip replacements really are miracles. I went from hobbling around and scared of even leading a horse in case they pulled and my hip would get jarred to now being able to run up stairs, carry 50 pound bags of grain, haul hay bales and filled water buckets. I am SO very thankful!
