It was another cold morning. Mark realized he had forgotten to turn the heat pump back on after losing the electricity yesterday. Ruth sent a message that mom's furnace wouldn't turn on. After getting our furnace turned on Mark went over to take care of mom's. That was easy as flipping a switch. They were fine as mom has an unvented propane heater in her living room. Mark left to pick up some groceries. I went out to get Disco out of the paddock and give him a groom but Bill showed up a half an hour early so hadn't finished.
Bill owns Western Hearts and one of his boarders bought Madiera's 2025 filly. He said she settled down fine and is doing great. His daughter Anna has been helping with her and all of the reports are great. We spent a couple hours discussing horses. After they left I went over to mom's to see if Ruth needed help getting ready for Sophia and Carl's rehearsal dinner. Mom decided to wear her funeral dress. This dress was from our great Aunt Emily who was 99 years old when she graduated to heaven. Mom decided this was the dress she wants to be buried in.
We were glad she is wearing it to new beginnings instead of endings. It went perfect with the wedding colors so was a good choice. I went over after the dinner to bring them some laundry detergent and checked out all of the beautiful decorations. Susan has the place looking very elegant. I met Carl, his parents and his mothers sisters while there. The adults went over to the foaling apartment to visit while the bridesmaids decided to drive in to Peoria. I think the groomsmen were up in the game room playing ping pong. I think they are all having a wonderful time.
