We all wore winter coats. The temperature was 26 degrees but with the wind the real feel was 16 degrees. We ate breakfast after the walk then took the motorhome to Bloomington to get the generator looked at. I drove the motorhome and Mark followed in his car. His car was almost out of gas by the time we reached our destination. Good thing it is a Prius or he would never had made it. The motorhome had to be left there, they won't be working on it until Thursday. We went to the very first gas station which actually was just across the street. When we got home I asked Mark to help move a bale in Raven's old paddock as I wanted to move Lily, her colt and Missy over and put them in with Tatiana. Once the bale was in Lily was led over and the other 2 just followed. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7Nv9WTVaYXqkuf9F_cgTNO2R0AhGDOxIkGPgPNJbC7FAPsjXc6W0ypTSKYjMuW6lVJ_8rLwsXzt84VkU6nFSwBKCMNmPD64VvYtgnONl5ZZtrmvpOWTBO6bygQrcZKrsL_oYKWzW1Rr0KLbQkBVsmVcHhNytA99gMReapgwdIu5SVaEnqYmJc8fn-WA/s1055/a1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="646" data-original-width="1055" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7Nv9WTVaYXqkuf9F_cgTNO2R0AhGDOxIkGPgPNJbC7FAPsjXc6W0ypTSKYjMuW6lVJ_8rLwsXzt84VkU6nFSwBKCMNmPD64VvYtgnONl5ZZtrmvpOWTBO6bygQrcZKrsL_oYKWzW1Rr0KLbQkBVsmVcHhNytA99gMReapgwdIu5SVaEnqYmJc8fn-WA/w400-h245/a1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The colt was fascinated with Tatiana.

I was doing research and realized that the 1900 pounds it was supposed to weigh may not be exactly right. Sure enough it weighed in at 2340 pounds. Then I remembered we had a full tank of propane AND the extra memory foam mattresses. I don't think those 3 items weigh 430 pounds so either the factory made a mistake or their scale was off when they built it. I got the 1900 pounds from numerous websites and of course the seller told us that was what it weighed. The camper was taken back to Joan's backed in and left. Below Mark is unhooking it while I'm waiting in the truck. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUPxX_6I9ojAvkhfGwjf46_e74yEsJTNmPjYlh31d1uVTgtD2gtEO2K7g1lRkVmZTTayzDI7if9LT9kXr98HMuOQC24sHBkeRgTLJAYEeqyOL8O9ZKOs_10XWzAGTtfMthcDfMXJ54i0D3xxzVH0ob9E7lqzGm6V-SEUKnkU58bSX7bk5dMNJia_Dwpc/s854/a3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="854" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnUPxX_6I9ojAvkhfGwjf46_e74yEsJTNmPjYlh31d1uVTgtD2gtEO2K7g1lRkVmZTTayzDI7if9LT9kXr98HMuOQC24sHBkeRgTLJAYEeqyOL8O9ZKOs_10XWzAGTtfMthcDfMXJ54i0D3xxzVH0ob9E7lqzGm6V-SEUKnkU58bSX7bk5dMNJia_Dwpc/s320/a3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">By the time that was done it was time to eat lunch. Mike and Diane were willing to take Lea and Thalia out to Middle Grove so they can get some grazing time. Lea needed some work on loading. She would walk in then throw herself violently back. The first time she slammed into Thalia. I ended up tying up Thalia out of the way. She waited very patiently while Lea was worked with. It helped when the side door was opened, she wasn't quite as claustrophobic. After probably 10 or 11 tries we put Thalia in, tied her up then Mike led Lea in and I slammed the back door just in time. She threw herself back and slammed right into the trailer door. Thank goodness it is a strong trailer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK9ZkTnNQEOO0jMKnC6DWxxUNLfpyfZpAqS53hSezMaEI5SjTfsLnqA-2r2XxgYguuNYn_dQs1zJCG9JA1cVNkW8PPNKxRt9KIw4YZA7kcDYinFzqIiLXU8Hi2Q9WYsXQgWRGjkZbK6-iJlVpCUXYDeKK86yfmNelwCwqDGJB5MIrY4Ci0luDZXHmDfe8/s1050/a4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="655" data-original-width="1050" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK9ZkTnNQEOO0jMKnC6DWxxUNLfpyfZpAqS53hSezMaEI5SjTfsLnqA-2r2XxgYguuNYn_dQs1zJCG9JA1cVNkW8PPNKxRt9KIw4YZA7kcDYinFzqIiLXU8Hi2Q9WYsXQgWRGjkZbK6-iJlVpCUXYDeKK86yfmNelwCwqDGJB5MIrY4Ci0luDZXHmDfe8/w400-h250/a4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieo728XcKYllMWN9oDWFgYFVwUBYKMXQJbpZscUTf60APN3CSCapZUS4ncpGi1uIS3sfcJQIKNHCkvE4kiKikRwDNtxzBbpv6pao926VdK8Jn_qdVsMVuuSc1HCOB0FZWp-bSCUp70CnEVoQqs9gkvbvVWlWNMuOCvw-jYN_oFIY22a8Q9-jRXzN1TvV4/s927/a5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="651" data-original-width="927" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieo728XcKYllMWN9oDWFgYFVwUBYKMXQJbpZscUTf60APN3CSCapZUS4ncpGi1uIS3sfcJQIKNHCkvE4kiKikRwDNtxzBbpv6pao926VdK8Jn_qdVsMVuuSc1HCOB0FZWp-bSCUp70CnEVoQqs9gkvbvVWlWNMuOCvw-jYN_oFIY22a8Q9-jRXzN1TvV4/w400-h281/a5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When Mike let them go Lea thought she could be the boss but Jewel took that thought right out of her mind. Jewel will not tolerate anyone (other than Lily) being the boss mare. It's fine as long as no one gets seriously hurt. Both Lea and Thalia will enjoy being at Middle Grove. There is abundant grass and plenty of trees for shade. After all of that outside work we were both really cold. Mark made a fire in the wood burner and when I was finally warmed up drove to Sam's club to pick up a few groceries along with a bag of ice. I drove straight to the barn to put the ice in the freezer and brought back some meat from the freezer to put in the house. The barn booked for May 18th and then again for an afternoon in April. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-69355121145708267852024-03-17T20:46:00.007-05:002024-03-18T07:05:24.859-05:00Baby Shower<p> Today was a special day in church as this afternoon was the Sunday school Easter program.

At the birthday party this evening you can hear him singing happy birthday in a loud warble but when he wants to sing on tune he really can. Scroll WAY down for that video. As soon as we got home from church the rice was put to cooking and the chicken loaded on the golf cart to take to the barn. I went back to grab the pile of towels for the apartment that were done here at the house yesterday and walked into the back door of the apartment to put them away. When I opened the door there was someone laying on the floor. I yelled WOAH and threw myself backward and she also jumped up quickly. It was Braelyn and she was cleaning and had found a fork stuck under something. We both scared each other. I didn't know anyone was there and she was shocked when I suddenly opened the door. I went from there to the new barn to get the chicken in the crock pot and help Joan with setting up for Hannah and Jacob's baby shower. At 2:30 pm the people renting the barn for their wedding in July arrived to check out the facility. They were shown the main room, the bride's room and the master bath then taken into the hallway to show them the other bathroom's when the groom asked me, "Are you all Apostolics?" When I answered yes he told me he was originally from Cisna Park. What a small world. They were pleased with the barn AND are considering having their wedding outside in the big field if the weather is nice and then using the barn for a fun reception. The baby shower started at 3:00 pm but I was a little late picking up mom and Joan waited for us to get there before Jacob had the prayer for the meal. I didn't get any pictures of that but it was quite a spread. Below are some of the shower pictures.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbBq6oUOhJ8dj-4Axwcq2o5xr42_6pWt34WxcFgj18pd_R18IyrM5yuXYMFipJ0Q4HGSu7kwO7dyD-Nw9ZlxFTfuwCwd1z4OOigcTvD8SgVITgbPFrVwvpkwdE_aSfgZoRDBmfUB7a9Py2qpl88SwDSOc-KbdXOP-CxL7U24C9cnPiOQBJjRq6s-jHj0I/s1187/a2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="641" data-original-width="1187" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbBq6oUOhJ8dj-4Axwcq2o5xr42_6pWt34WxcFgj18pd_R18IyrM5yuXYMFipJ0Q4HGSu7kwO7dyD-Nw9ZlxFTfuwCwd1z4OOigcTvD8SgVITgbPFrVwvpkwdE_aSfgZoRDBmfUB7a9Py2qpl88SwDSOc-KbdXOP-CxL7U24C9cnPiOQBJjRq6s-jHj0I/w400-h216/a2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsJ4jj5866IzOT3_v8aKyiUhBXL2Lw6jwmY0zpXO5gMjzXqHoAulIPte6tcmE9kgMVBhYtYFJz8dunoXfGMIlgepTWVyJmC7VzhiWfs_24rzg4S8rRPRlx03kPJf2-h6XP_qJaCdZJzL1o0XFrj4iQ7I2EcBZvGDf1ODVMvbaWZEY2pLZ2tTFDrrwWSjM/s1149/a3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="649" data-original-width="1149" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsJ4jj5866IzOT3_v8aKyiUhBXL2Lw6jwmY0zpXO5gMjzXqHoAulIPte6tcmE9kgMVBhYtYFJz8dunoXfGMIlgepTWVyJmC7VzhiWfs_24rzg4S8rRPRlx03kPJf2-h6XP_qJaCdZJzL1o0XFrj4iQ7I2EcBZvGDf1ODVMvbaWZEY2pLZ2tTFDrrwWSjM/w400-h226/a3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLq2FIK1297oV4Nf6r6VJdlm_tL2bqqIs2DpWRkBRyUOhMmVnA-_QJ3NVNoX_FWvF_oH9x-XYsGLoprayDQ1vuSUJI32KvA2dN-Kx93DYGcMpl76TJD6ThrlvE1JNI1iR2bqR7xc6_r6cF3bINX1vkg07dEWcSVVBNwb8t8lmh4qP_tx5gaI6TCEIUBDI/s1415/a16.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="658" data-original-width="1415" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLq2FIK1297oV4Nf6r6VJdlm_tL2bqqIs2DpWRkBRyUOhMmVnA-_QJ3NVNoX_FWvF_oH9x-XYsGLoprayDQ1vuSUJI32KvA2dN-Kx93DYGcMpl76TJD6ThrlvE1JNI1iR2bqR7xc6_r6cF3bINX1vkg07dEWcSVVBNwb8t8lmh4qP_tx5gaI6TCEIUBDI/w400-h186/a16.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0lLS7k4Px8kM56Zvo4PAQKYexnVpZ23TLf5ZCZMytiOvc3Dp7luPn4tPhHdnjiZETZWWpdAqYBz0o9cPibzA4QwUJaJnB8p2o1z64XDS9tZofK4KFMgIfCKcRebb3HkyLWj43f7srXgwm2CK40sZst7m1XtK7UDxeSMyMM86sk0axOzTK6WnxqFpUzDU/s1234/a17.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="1234" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0lLS7k4Px8kM56Zvo4PAQKYexnVpZ23TLf5ZCZMytiOvc3Dp7luPn4tPhHdnjiZETZWWpdAqYBz0o9cPibzA4QwUJaJnB8p2o1z64XDS9tZofK4KFMgIfCKcRebb3HkyLWj43f7srXgwm2CK40sZst7m1XtK7UDxeSMyMM86sk0axOzTK6WnxqFpUzDU/w400-h208/a17.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">IF you would like to see the rest of the pictures of the shower click <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=ravens.friesians&set=a.7248033528606567" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>.

Mark wanted a big breakfast and needed it by 7:00 am as he needed to leave by 7:30 for church. Today was church cleaning. I also needed to leave at 7:30 am but stopped to check on Lily and her colt.

I figured out how to get it back on-line and get the furnace running. I sent a message to the guests that the apartment was ready any time and they had just arrived in the area so were glad to come early.

We are so thankful. The fields are getting great drinks and the grass is growing quickly. It was still raining during the walk time so that was cancelled. I spent most of the morning and even part of the afternoon doing a big spring cleaning on the upstairs of this house. I had so much to go through as each time I sold a 5th wheel and the other campers I brought the supplies and bedding into the house and put it in the upstairs incase it would be needed. Well we are not buying any more campers or 5th wheels and I don't need any more bedding for the barn or the apartment. The closets also really needed to be gone through. I think I swept up a couple hundred Asian beetles. How and why do those pesky things end up inside? I found 2 airbeds. The one below was blown up and left just to see if there are any leaks.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7uEnH7BQT56iVuQP-gsV2JySOzgbfn7L7zvPSEtLggPQ1X5XVwdzk_s5GH4erMGgbhO5UYMHOn71fu9D_OmEMpkYlowtl8xeeRtKIS5_RM3HVv58V9kzHV-uo9g-6fMiwX9kthSq9o6kI9s0pip-vvQF7t-k1ZsYHEMPm99QMQQwyi3s81Mts1Lfbtw/s1017/x5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="657" data-original-width="1017" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7uEnH7BQT56iVuQP-gsV2JySOzgbfn7L7zvPSEtLggPQ1X5XVwdzk_s5GH4erMGgbhO5UYMHOn71fu9D_OmEMpkYlowtl8xeeRtKIS5_RM3HVv58V9kzHV-uo9g-6fMiwX9kthSq9o6kI9s0pip-vvQF7t-k1ZsYHEMPm99QMQQwyi3s81Mts1Lfbtw/w400-h259/x5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The other airbed did not have an automatic blower attached so that was brought down stairs for Mark to check out.

The new fluffy pillow shams were taken over to mom's house. Mark wanted a couple of the old comforters to use for moving furniture so those will be taken to his back garage. Just before dark I took the golf cart up to the barn to put Lily away. She knows the routine and ran back to the field with her colt. I just had to shut the gate. Tomorrow we are going to move her and her colt over to the cabin field.

Back at the house the laundry was started. While waiting for the machines Lily and her colt were let out to graze. The colt was funny today. He tasted the grass and found it good. He reared up on his mama's face.

I think this family is even bigger than the Meister family. This evening Mark and I left a little early for church and arrived early. Caleb Plattner had the message. Click <b><a href="https://vimeo.com/921772600/b28c8d0e00" target="_blank">HERE</a></b> to watch that. After church we joined the big group at Culvers. Both Mark and I chose a salad tonight. We may be getting tired of fish. It was another warm beautiful day but rain is supposed to move in by midnight. The colt is now old enough to be left out. Their paddock has a shelter so hopefully Lily will use it if it gets colder. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-23117523996999521082024-03-12T21:05:00.002-05:002024-03-12T21:05:55.056-05:00Moving Campers<p> Ruth couldn't walk today but was down to take mom to Nancy's IEP meeting.

You can always send me a text if interested in looking at them. 309-208-3840. The motorhome will also be for rent this year at $209.00 a night.

Sometimes we have net wrap from the bales that gets mixed in with the manure.

It is an awful job and I'm glad Mackenson is willing to help with that. While they were working on that I was cleaning Lily's stall. She is such a big mare she leaves a lot of manure and since she is currently in season the stall was pretty wet.

The eggs are well peppered, the toast is keto toast and the potatoes were left over from Sunday dinner, sliced and fried. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkWaMIscQlf2EEb-Xp2sahnIp4rlVP62GZk07xW53cDujwwNSfIhqV1TcwIwTe5LwI0BXJVd8M2XMzg8Rnmbv1UZ9sEHcIgWZGZthbZdmyroSTVYzvNfcBm9lEnnLcWKH1sMOz5xZVhLpL3DQDb45_YeUqVws0jBTyIylEAs-ao-0ahRRF0xH0ctDXeO4/s796/a1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="646" data-original-width="796" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkWaMIscQlf2EEb-Xp2sahnIp4rlVP62GZk07xW53cDujwwNSfIhqV1TcwIwTe5LwI0BXJVd8M2XMzg8Rnmbv1UZ9sEHcIgWZGZthbZdmyroSTVYzvNfcBm9lEnnLcWKH1sMOz5xZVhLpL3DQDb45_YeUqVws0jBTyIylEAs-ao-0ahRRF0xH0ctDXeO4/w400-h325/a1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Just after 10:00 am Mike and I loaded the two TB mares in the front of the stock trailer then Missy and Sally in the back and took them to Middle Grove.

The stove clock in the kitchen was blinking 10:24 pm and the coffee pot was dark. We lost electricity. My watch showed 1:20 am so the clock was reset as was the coffee pot and only once both of those were done I realized my watch was probably not right as I forgot to set it forward last night. The computer had to be restarted and that also had the time posted of 1:20 am then I checked my phone and that also read 1:20 am. Now I'm really confused. Could my watch have changed automatically? I was sure the phone and the computer would be reading the correct time. We have an alarm clock in the bedroom that has battery back up and that was reading 2:05 am. That clock we can change the hour but not the minutes so we just remember to add 15 minutes each morning to get the right time. Evidently the computers and cell phones don't change until AFTER 2:00 am. Funny how we thought they would all change at midnight. By the time I figured out the correct time and changed my watch, stove clock and coffee maker it was 2:16 am. I went back to sleep and slept until 6:00 am. I still had enough time to mix up the 6 eggs, 4 and half cups of milk 6 pounds of ground beef, 6 cups of cheddar cheese, 3 cups of quick oats, 2 cups of chopped onion, and 2 tables spoons of salt and get that in the fridge. Next was the sauce that goes on top which was 5 cups of ketchup, 4 cups of brown sugar and 2 big tablespoons of mustard. That too was put in the fridge. We needed to leave for church at 8:50 am as we were driving to Morton to pick up Nancy. They had her dressed in a very fancy dress. She loves coming to church and loves attending Sunday School. Joan is her teacher. Tim Funk gave the communion exhortation for the first service. The Bible class and young group served lunch today. Carlie was showing us how the new chair works. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1fja0xRixlANoTfGKFe5MmVeoV6cHp-Ghq3TbgV5QFdVIpFA6tvls-ulY2tvO9Mub-OnHLyiRFS92JEN1HmNB7DjvhKrkUTslLKBWsxhcj9DUWvdOxi217MNzp5hlVsEdA0EdpflT8gpAPrJwtVsLXOvlmwfDLOdx3f688hnhglUo2tgfRqcsUH98NKk/s651/a1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="651" data-original-width="426" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1fja0xRixlANoTfGKFe5MmVeoV6cHp-Ghq3TbgV5QFdVIpFA6tvls-ulY2tvO9Mub-OnHLyiRFS92JEN1HmNB7DjvhKrkUTslLKBWsxhcj9DUWvdOxi217MNzp5hlVsEdA0EdpflT8gpAPrJwtVsLXOvlmwfDLOdx3f688hnhglUo2tgfRqcsUH98NKk/w261-h400/a1.jpg" width="261" /></a></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="314" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fravens.friesians%2Fvideos%2F1123803655322687%2F&show_text=false&width=560&t=0" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The second service was the elder from Bradford, the elder from Princeville and the elder from Roanoke. They were here yesterday to meet with all of the ministers and their wives for the search for a new elder for Peoria. This service was very touching. After church I went right to work making the meat loaf balls and covering them with the sauce. This recipe made 36 nice size individual meat loaf balls. They needed to bake for about an hour. Once those were done the oven temp raised to 400 and the potatoes were put in. The meatloaf balls were taken to the barn and put in that oven on 300 degrees to keep warm. Dinner was ready and served at 4:30 pm. While all of that was going on Mike and Berlica were working with the 2 TB mares. They took Bulu first on the death trail and Aiken the second time. Both mares did great. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtgZuTzEnVnGZ5mfE7EOOrldUi39M23FmXh6ztyUY2HrUTyiqFXkhNiG6lovRWVamTW2bxqQayzb-ghLS7LRYW-tVD6oyGDyV9HNYPPtKjGn7pkbKOErl-s0FDxboKjRdIBXX2DYcLGvUOK8rAwI0xBSW6uuCXC2aM2E9ycW6QH4YGmnVlu472FMMh0n8/s961/a11.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="652" data-original-width="961" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtgZuTzEnVnGZ5mfE7EOOrldUi39M23FmXh6ztyUY2HrUTyiqFXkhNiG6lovRWVamTW2bxqQayzb-ghLS7LRYW-tVD6oyGDyV9HNYPPtKjGn7pkbKOErl-s0FDxboKjRdIBXX2DYcLGvUOK8rAwI0xBSW6uuCXC2aM2E9ycW6QH4YGmnVlu472FMMh0n8/w400-h271/a11.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Below is a very short video first of Aiken heading home then of Bulu.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="314" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fravens.friesians%2Fvideos%2F368148986057869%2F&show_text=false&width=560&t=0" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">When I walked into the barn with the food.

Lily was let out of the stall around 6:30 am, she was so excited to get out she forgot to wait for her colt and he got lost. When she realized it she had to swing around to find out where he went. Once they were both together all was well. After breakfast I got the kitchen and bathrooms in the barn done and ready for company then went home and I got the laundry done including the sheets for the week and gave the bedroom a spring cleaning all before 10:00 am as I was due at mom's by then. Mom had the eagles up on the television and we thought we might have seen a hole in one of the eggs. Jackie was also acting different. She kept opening her mouth and sticking her tongue out while moving around the nest. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ1Tc1wkh7RIyUbgmJRxQ7vUprbZe3bfjcFuaj_eTdbGW3lv7HlAOe5pkSyRYLcJL922KxjAsHDLH-DwUskleHUViIjpyJaBki-HVmZWYgFcHUEoV5b6Rq1wsK2e84fL3JZabRKcYpeBAqiVky4caVXd0mVhnl37iJC0Re4IlVlRG_npNT-YG7LQonNOc/s1021/c1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="645" data-original-width="1021" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ1Tc1wkh7RIyUbgmJRxQ7vUprbZe3bfjcFuaj_eTdbGW3lv7HlAOe5pkSyRYLcJL922KxjAsHDLH-DwUskleHUViIjpyJaBki-HVmZWYgFcHUEoV5b6Rq1wsK2e84fL3JZabRKcYpeBAqiVky4caVXd0mVhnl37iJC0Re4IlVlRG_npNT-YG7LQonNOc/w400-h253/c1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mark was out grading the driveways.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9w2aE6hV88KwM6xE3C7tEb-HRA-MJlS1quCCmFV-N0IShecYdLCCJW1fpbGP1HN3U3VQFJSeDl6WztP4F-iCWhLlQ38pS5XVlQCGRqwuaGqsC7xp0GuN9j6i2m7kKnjs5QWEbTmYk5Gv1cnalZK3I_gkdjluO3wsSJnVdtjkdGP1ZvQDhV9H7yTguSQU/s829/c2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="647" data-original-width="829" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9w2aE6hV88KwM6xE3C7tEb-HRA-MJlS1quCCmFV-N0IShecYdLCCJW1fpbGP1HN3U3VQFJSeDl6WztP4F-iCWhLlQ38pS5XVlQCGRqwuaGqsC7xp0GuN9j6i2m7kKnjs5QWEbTmYk5Gv1cnalZK3I_gkdjluO3wsSJnVdtjkdGP1ZvQDhV9H7yTguSQU/w400-h313/c2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mom decided she wanted an uncrustable for her lunch and told me there were a few in the freezer. I searched for them but couldn't find any so was making her a peanut butter and jam sandwich when Diane arrived with 2 uncrustables. She was putting something in her freezer and saw them and had the thought mom might like one for her lunch. What perfect timing. I left then for home. Mark needed to get the front tire off the small Kubota tractor, find the leak and fix it and he did. It wasn't easy and he came back in tired. The barn booked for the 22nd of March and is also booked for the 23rd by another group. I called Anna to see if she and her girls would be able to flip it as us cleaners, Rhoda, Sarah and I, will be on our way to Gulf Shores. Thankfully she was fine with that. She found a rocking chair for the barn today. I'll see that tomorrow. I've been wanting one as we have had so many mom's with babies here lately. Phil and Anna were hosting a group at the barn this afternoon. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot by the time we were ready to leave for potluck.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheedT19vQrLejNXWrGtYe5kpxzhCnoCSNLVsz5Epk1luHbmaI7yk3dmJ41zjSC6CDCDcNxGv_njKhsDdL7ipzg3eA9jrxD2K-uO-sxfautadO4ehTk5Jr7cMuakoA50PzPvPep987KrZcad1SMtYYwBI7WgsYRmsKdmxaUPpA2hYfuOcaAVEQ1l3KPDFw/s1272/c3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="1272" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheedT19vQrLejNXWrGtYe5kpxzhCnoCSNLVsz5Epk1luHbmaI7yk3dmJ41zjSC6CDCDcNxGv_njKhsDdL7ipzg3eA9jrxD2K-uO-sxfautadO4ehTk5Jr7cMuakoA50PzPvPep987KrZcad1SMtYYwBI7WgsYRmsKdmxaUPpA2hYfuOcaAVEQ1l3KPDFw/w400-h201/c3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cheryl was hosting potluck and had the table set beautifully.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihadaATxqVDLp5FQNLKcxwpxFF5Udsm_UfChTSU9C3VsX9MHg8TvtouYFi7Tz09CItGHmTTLfWZLvzWU9vebCGIRQ9aeJGFMEUkT3H7rdwgxO4bJPnnZ3GYyhvCkno4CHvmnfJXNByJmps9NrySNdiSNXduCTaxLlRmRsCEmgOZ4ayBlTEv8B-oG2zm6A/s1377/c4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="645" data-original-width="1377" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihadaATxqVDLp5FQNLKcxwpxFF5Udsm_UfChTSU9C3VsX9MHg8TvtouYFi7Tz09CItGHmTTLfWZLvzWU9vebCGIRQ9aeJGFMEUkT3H7rdwgxO4bJPnnZ3GYyhvCkno4CHvmnfJXNByJmps9NrySNdiSNXduCTaxLlRmRsCEmgOZ4ayBlTEv8B-oG2zm6A/w400-h188/c4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Each of us were given a carnation wrapped in the napkin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgINLqwlkAx7IiNrwkUfD6aijlXHpgwKhj3PBFi48jACL-CZXYWzPvGf_SVgujZC8c62PwIyoxbJWSX_K75rzWVP-DuDL0vZsysOTQggRDt8f_Xopt4M7w-Yx9o1VjBt9McBx4QxHv-4-z20xr81ygtMq157eGGkQNYX7nThoL8pArAXAiWRcB8cSgWTH0/s874/c5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="654" data-original-width="874" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgINLqwlkAx7IiNrwkUfD6aijlXHpgwKhj3PBFi48jACL-CZXYWzPvGf_SVgujZC8c62PwIyoxbJWSX_K75rzWVP-DuDL0vZsysOTQggRDt8f_Xopt4M7w-Yx9o1VjBt9McBx4QxHv-4-z20xr81ygtMq157eGGkQNYX7nThoL8pArAXAiWRcB8cSgWTH0/w400-h299/c5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What a great idea.

It was 9:00 pm by the time we left there and with the time change happening tonight it is WAY past our bedtime. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-20469240198101752942024-03-08T20:59:00.004-06:002024-03-09T05:37:50.511-06:00Rainy Day<p> We could hear the rain splattering against the window during the night but no huge puddles when we awoke. It was a nice gentle rain. It had slowed down to a sprinkle around 6:20 am so Lily and her colt were let out in the paddock next to the stall barn and their stall cleaned. It was raining when we walked but just a light sprinkle. After the walk I drove to Aldi to pick up some groceries for potluck tomorrow. I drove straight to the barn to get some ground beef out of the freezer and while there set up another round table for the group coming in tomorrow. I have a little more to do there but will do that in the morning and that way I'll for sure remember to turn on the heat. Mark came with me on the next trip and that one was to Sam's club. Eggs at Aldi are almost $3.00 a dozen and are $2.00 a dozen at Sam's if you buy a box of 7.5 dozen. I needed a lot of eggs for baking so bought the box. By the time we got home the rain had started back up and was coming down pretty steady. Lily and her colt really needed to be brought back inside to dry off. The colt was glad to come in and lay down in the straw. Mark was working on the motorhome generator. He had a new spark plug to put in but couldn't get the old one out so came back to the house to watch some youtube videos on that. It seems everyone else has the same problem. We were both so wet and cold by the time we got back inside I turned the electric throw on high Diane gave me and sat down on the recliner, stretched out my feet and fell asleep. Karin had us for dinner tonight. She made a delicious pot roast using mom's recipe. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT4sd7rLi7WTqazHdjpYhQp9eNvYNHIboWB5riW4xQ0B1_1oVSKZGoON_UE0-UMNS9sdHjT5x6SalZwjefY7W9A5EMY-_zK-qZNlxfKtEtbdSJe8xCnRO7jG6rFbLW7a5FVdOlfz9IUZ-rddBAhQhZFBJlaZsdGYUru2lWua73MW40GB7zqsxEw-WT0dQ/s768/b1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="768" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT4sd7rLi7WTqazHdjpYhQp9eNvYNHIboWB5riW4xQ0B1_1oVSKZGoON_UE0-UMNS9sdHjT5x6SalZwjefY7W9A5EMY-_zK-qZNlxfKtEtbdSJe8xCnRO7jG6rFbLW7a5FVdOlfz9IUZ-rddBAhQhZFBJlaZsdGYUru2lWua73MW40GB7zqsxEw-WT0dQ/s320/b1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After supper we came home, built a fire in the wood burner and am really enjoying the heat. I have Lily and her colt on the monitor. They seem to be settled in and are quiet. The rain is now over but the temperature is going to drop down to below freezing tonight so they will stay stalled until tomorrow morning. The owner of an Evan filly out of her chestnut mare sent the picture below. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY-3Ty_S_z6W5w7nGhRPJJF8QULtG7iocQ0NAu8YQ_ZlN6aJDJjK6QouqwFnTxLjdHaXZoxreTuSOirUNPHvzLXX-9swaWB8N92eB_uB3uRqPzPj1zjPGC24-ladUZ_V5YmPbX_2HxGb67M4BhlfssxGerk2jZAmzBQqOa6hyphenhyphenwtWyHR__21LoYXlnKYFA/s705/bfpp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="647" data-original-width="705" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY-3Ty_S_z6W5w7nGhRPJJF8QULtG7iocQ0NAu8YQ_ZlN6aJDJjK6QouqwFnTxLjdHaXZoxreTuSOirUNPHvzLXX-9swaWB8N92eB_uB3uRqPzPj1zjPGC24-ladUZ_V5YmPbX_2HxGb67M4BhlfssxGerk2jZAmzBQqOa6hyphenhyphenwtWyHR__21LoYXlnKYFA/w400-h368/bfpp.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>They named her Vodoo and also sent some videos of her.

We have actually retired from outside breeding but this one had been promised last year so we will honor that. </div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-86581444470389481872024-03-07T20:46:00.000-06:002024-03-07T20:46:16.618-06:00Outside Work<p> Today was a cloudy, damp and cold day but we still got a lot of outside work done.

We have rain moving in and it might be more than 2 days worth coming. That meant lots of bedding, lots of hay and of course 2 more fresh water buckets. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had steak fajitas for supper tonight as that is such an easy meal to prepare and I am tired from all that outside work. Berlica came over to get one of the fancy dresses used for the fairs and also a gold cape. Dennis and Gertie arrived a bit later. Gertie wanted to work on their taxes. Dennis and I talked tractors until I remembered I needed to put Lily and her colt inside before it became pitch dark. It is hard to see the black horses in the dark. The colt didn't want to follow Lily into the barn so I had to catch him first and bring him in. Thankfully he loves scratches and will stand still for those. I was able to loop Lily's lead rope around him then kind of push him from behind. Lily followed closely. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">By the time I got back in the house the taxes were almost finished.

He has now spent the night twice at our house and twice at mom's. He is determined to sleep inside so Karin is going to let him spend the night at their house and we will bring him home each morning. He is an old dog and deserves to have a little luxury for his final years. When we reached Rhonda's we stopped in to talk a bit and noticed her shiny teapot wind chime.

She was counting on it. We had a good walk but it was much cooler than yesterday. Joan told us about her morning at the dentist office yesterday with mom. She doesn't know how it happened but she ended up going an hour earlier than their appointments. I believe this was of God and I'll explain why. Mom was called in but Joan was still in the waiting room when a little old lady came in with her walker and was moving quite quickly. Joan said to her, "my mom would be jealous to see you moving so quickly" The lady came and sat next to her and explained, "I'm 98 years old and I don't know why I'm still here. I'm so ready to go home to heaven but God is just not listening to me." Joan asked her, "do you have children?" to which she replied, "yes." Joan asked, "Do you have grandchildren?" to which she replied, "yes." Then Joan asked, "Do you pray for them?" and the response was "Oh YES." Joan then said, "God still has work for you to do, it isn't that HE isn't listening to you." That caused the lady to tear up and she told Joan, "you are here today to tell me that HE IS listening to me! Thank you SO much." Now we know why Joan arrived an hour early. She had a divine appointment just for a 98 year old lady who God loves enough to give assurance that HE is listening. After the walk Ruth and I went right to mom's then to Berean. If you would like to read about our morning there click <b><a href="https://bereanprisonministry.blogspot.com/2024/03/large-loving.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>. We stopped at the Hanna City post office on the way home from Berean to drop off the Bibles and the mail Then to Ruth's as her van wasn't done. Karin had lunch waiting for us. She made some chicken salad from the rotisserie chicken, added all kinds of goodies to is such as mayo, celery, cashews and grapes, and wrapped it in a spinach wrap. By the time I got home Mark had the dishes done. Mike wanted to bring the 4 mares at the cabin field over here so Mark helped move a bale into the paddock next to Valiant. Lea and Thalia were moved in there. That chewed up board came from the TB mares. We had to move them into the middle paddock. They don't chew the wood there probably because that is such a big paddock.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtV0X5vJB0_aqAaybk4Kvwm6RKbJy6lvfXgbhEgal2QExVyefnNAC0THFuuiNTasG4EoCqzUmSj8pgyADh3h1wpXKe9ShNASz16p0CwXrkPXQSyx6b2ZN0ixRAb3qex2jZg5NbwFNxUGeo2m9TGV5EkuZXawcekY4xgu9hcMunef4kax-5QUhIBYF2Lzk/s774/d12.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="645" data-original-width="774" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtV0X5vJB0_aqAaybk4Kvwm6RKbJy6lvfXgbhEgal2QExVyefnNAC0THFuuiNTasG4EoCqzUmSj8pgyADh3h1wpXKe9ShNASz16p0CwXrkPXQSyx6b2ZN0ixRAb3qex2jZg5NbwFNxUGeo2m9TGV5EkuZXawcekY4xgu9hcMunef4kax-5QUhIBYF2Lzk/w400-h334/d12.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next he brought Sally and Missy over and put them in with the 2 TB mares. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sally and Missy went running to the back of the paddock thinking the back gate was open.

After supper Lily was put back in the pasture and the gates shut. She went right into the paddock to get a drink. She really is queen bee around here.

Bill and Bethany joined Diane, Joan, Ruth, Mike, Mark and me. We also had 2 dogs and one cat join in. When when we got to the cabin lane Mike had to remind us that we needed to keep it down, they had guests in the cabin and we sounded like a riot was happening with all of us talking at once. We really did enjoy talking about the wedding yesterday remembering the oh so funny parts along with the touching parts in the wedding service. After the walk Lily and her colt were put out in the big field. Missy wasn't happy but Lily sure was. There is plenty of grazing there. Her colt is getting good at snatching a quick drink from any direction. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYrA6DgSPJWybm-NgWUfTEDUHkgQnpIKLhG65m_Rhot3bG-ZcyI5Msjg0CfxUUXq2is2xYwfJy_oIW0SkUnRLEUt2tkmEpMAVDOiawIWWwS-fESACrI0riJF8DxYzr_cfYDNyNQ4vrb9clOmUBJNr8StkRO6MwkCbhK11I_XxFjxEMvO31-weDFNrl9CA/s900/b1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="900" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYrA6DgSPJWybm-NgWUfTEDUHkgQnpIKLhG65m_Rhot3bG-ZcyI5Msjg0CfxUUXq2is2xYwfJy_oIW0SkUnRLEUt2tkmEpMAVDOiawIWWwS-fESACrI0riJF8DxYzr_cfYDNyNQ4vrb9clOmUBJNr8StkRO6MwkCbhK11I_XxFjxEMvO31-weDFNrl9CA/w400-h288/b1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mark left to go work again at Maria's as her garage attic still needed work. He stopped at Aldi on the way back as we could use a gallon of milk. We sure miss having that fresh milk from Rebekah's jersey. I'm glad for her that she sold one but now they only have enough for their calves and their family. Karin needed a little help this morning with the old water softener in mom's basement. It was still full of salt and very heavy. We were able to dump most of the salt out, load the water softener tank on a wheel barrow and run that up to the dumpster then shovel the salt into the wheel barrow for another run up the hill and to the dumpster. The 2 of us were able to pick it up and dump it in dumpster. Later I drove the golf cart up to check on Lily. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="314" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=314&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fravens.friesians%2Fvideos%2F3711978382414444%2F&show_text=false&width=560&t=0" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">They are sticking around well so the halter and lead rope were removed.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mark went back to working on pot holes this afternoon.

When they were put inside Missy started throwing a fit neighing, that started both of the stallions off neighing. Then Mike came and took Missy to the cabin field to be with Sally. When she left Evan really started calling and bucking. Those are HIS mares, how dare they leave. All is quiet now. Lily is happily munching away on the hay and the colt is taking naps in the deeply bedded stall. </div><br /></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-34599970810751699792024-03-03T20:11:00.002-06:002024-03-06T07:18:55.074-06:00Kathy & Randy's Wedding Day<p> Today was another early Sunday, Kathy and Dave were serving lunch today and since Kathy helped me last Sunday it was payback time. We were to be there by 8:45 am. Last night before heading to bed I heard barking at the patio door. I ignored it for a while then finally turned on the lights to see what was the matter and Kabur was huddled up against the door asking to be let in. I'm not sure if he was just lost or scared. The door was opened and he immediately went under the table to hide. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73tbXRv9xNOMIXhKyRN3hVFmvkXOWskhs8e002uvmNA18QWaMXBDoj38eJsUFukT1vepF21q_FBlzAhrr0S-FxPSWJBGXDhc66ZM2bFzEgigXnjy7aY16Zdm7dChy_o9Z_F10Wda8xPFC0WoCYI8RkxqJkT9NjlxMuoSpzU5gi_xidOmBTh9ytsDjJW0/s1281/a16.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="1281" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73tbXRv9xNOMIXhKyRN3hVFmvkXOWskhs8e002uvmNA18QWaMXBDoj38eJsUFukT1vepF21q_FBlzAhrr0S-FxPSWJBGXDhc66ZM2bFzEgigXnjy7aY16Zdm7dChy_o9Z_F10Wda8xPFC0WoCYI8RkxqJkT9NjlxMuoSpzU5gi_xidOmBTh9ytsDjJW0/w400-h190/a16.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He was so quiet we forgot all about him.

Rhonda was glad to go early to help Kathy. We found out when we got to church that David is back in the hospital so Kathy was glad for the help. We had a visiting minister Tom Stock from Cisna Park for our morning message.

It was great to see the church full for Kathy and Randy's wedding. Tim Roecker and Craig Stickling had the wedding service. I've never heard the church laugh so loudly during both of their talks. Kathy really is a special wonderful person.

Tomorrow I'll download pictures off the camera. I'm really too tired to do that tonight. We made it home from the reception by 4:00 pm just in time to have the supper finished by 4:30 pm.

We went back to the barn for volleyball. Mark and I watched 2 fun intense and close games. Each team won one game and by the time those games were over everyone was tired and ready to quit. We had a beautiful sunny hot day with a high of 77 degrees but it was very windy. I'm going to sleep good tonight. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-49741151675951924682024-03-02T19:52:00.002-06:002024-03-02T19:52:20.302-06:00Lily's Home (her colt too)<p> It was hard to roll out of bed this morning and I delayed doing that until almost 5:30 am. Since it was Saturday the extra half hour in bed really didn't matter. Mark went out to feed the cat while I made breakfast. Today he wanted ham and Swiss cheese instead of sausage and an avocado then when I asked if he wanted eggs too he said yes. By the time he got his plate he was a little surprised by the amount of food but everything on it was what he asked for. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRo1ExluxUqpWx51eSqI1PCR9xsgpphzpeFhZubt5gbGZSfWRgHIhnWcSt1fniHFpWMJZxShBpB8_dS8udc7S5oBJ00MfabpAbnlurrEYGunQAPn92pDgerZ54WkruSGnkR7bYPOZ-WBtc6cg6mSt2gy_3DqBZ8ctQCs1tmFYP_crtKNJTY6yAmRp7j3A/s839/v1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="647" data-original-width="839" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRo1ExluxUqpWx51eSqI1PCR9xsgpphzpeFhZubt5gbGZSfWRgHIhnWcSt1fniHFpWMJZxShBpB8_dS8udc7S5oBJ00MfabpAbnlurrEYGunQAPn92pDgerZ54WkruSGnkR7bYPOZ-WBtc6cg6mSt2gy_3DqBZ8ctQCs1tmFYP_crtKNJTY6yAmRp7j3A/w400-h309/v1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I left at 8:30 am to go to Sam's club as I needed some food for tomorrow's dinner, paper towel and toilet paper for the barn and Karin wanted a chicken and coffee.

Thank goodness we had a 3rd person today. Mike haltered Sally and tied her then took Lily's leadrope while I walked behind the baby to make sure he stayed with his mom. Diane's job was to keep all the other horses OUT of the trailer by shooing them away then took Lily's leadrope led her into the trailer, Mike picked up the colt and put him in. Those 2 were taken to the front and I shut the middle divider then walked around to the side door to let Mike and Diane out. Our next job was to load Sally. Mike went around the trailer to get her. I waded my way through the herd of horses all surrounding the trailer and got to the back to see a horse in the trailer. I thought it must be Sally and was wondering how Mike put her in without going in the trailer himself when I took a better look and realized it was Missy. She was determined to go with Lily and her colt. There was NO way she was going to be left behind and would not budge. We just can't leave a trailer door open and not expect to find horses inside. We decided she may as well come too. Mike put Sally in next to Missy. Below we are getting ready to leave.

This one was taken during the night and the colt still looked great. Now there was no real reason to pick them up. I am not going to breed Lily on her foal heat, I don't want another February foal. I'm just thanking God that this February 29th was warm. Mark and I left for Middle Grove at 7:30 am and arrived shortly after 8:00 am. The truck and trailer were driven up the hill and into the big field where the hay bales are out. The colt was laying down but when we arrived he jumped up and started following Lily. Lily was heading to the lake for a drink but a bunch of the horses came running up and crowded around the trailer. Mark was surrounded. When I started walking toward the lake most of them realized Lily had already started that way and they took off running to catch up. All except Valerie and Tessa who demanded that Mark pet them first. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitMpwSCzj7TorT3VOPWkBEjVLUZWBbmINnNjyh72N5jP1-wV0OcWSjQALMxnMpsfAtqfDew1QdrjmoY07hyyi6ir4f3Fc1CFO86AV_1a1xrgCPWsmQM1S3AwwYFturkceHp6lwCn2kCeKIJemd5gRLa_Y0w8XMtX9ahpGjiHsaaju2asHtLxxFoWbKmII/s768/bab2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="768" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitMpwSCzj7TorT3VOPWkBEjVLUZWBbmINnNjyh72N5jP1-wV0OcWSjQALMxnMpsfAtqfDew1QdrjmoY07hyyi6ir4f3Fc1CFO86AV_1a1xrgCPWsmQM1S3AwwYFturkceHp6lwCn2kCeKIJemd5gRLa_Y0w8XMtX9ahpGjiHsaaju2asHtLxxFoWbKmII/w400-h335/bab2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The foal is a colt.

After they left Mark and I drove to Aldi to pick up some much needed groceries. We got home just before 4:00 pm so I immediately started cooking supper. Tonight was our turn to bring supper over for Karin and mom. Last Friday Karin cooked for us so this was payback time. I made Korean chicken served that with a stir fry of asparagus, 3 kinds of peppers, mushrooms, onion, water chestnuts, carrots and broccoli. To that I added home made teriyaki sauce and spaghetti noodles that had been boiled then stir fried in the teriyaki sauce. We had raspberry flips for dessert. We feasted. It really was tasty and I enjoyed it. Of course I had lots of dishes to do when we got home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-78547236433291445742024-02-29T19:07:00.000-06:002024-02-29T19:07:47.859-06:00TopGolf SURPRISE!<p> I was up at 5:00 am and got the kitchen and bathroom cleaned and even got those floor scrubbed before we needed to leave.

We made it down a few minutes early so filled up the gas tank on the Prius. That only took 6 gallons. We filled the gas tank last night before leaving at $3.59 a gallon for the 6 gallons it cost $21.54 not bad for that one way trip.

Thankfully the extreme cold is passed. Lily was not due until March 20th. This foal is 3 weeks early but looks healthy from what we can tell by the picture. He or she is sticking close to mom. There is no way I could get to Middle Grove before dark. I'm just praying this foal is nursing well and the herd helps Lily protect her foal from predators tonight. Yesterday I asked Mark if he would help me on Friday to bring Lily home. Now instead of bringing Lily home I'm praying we can bring Lily and her foal home tomorrow morning. No way to tell if this foal is a colt or a filly. I'm going to have an early night tonight 7 hours of driving and even though it wasn't hard labor I'm exhausted. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-89771004571921771722024-02-28T22:01:00.002-06:002024-02-28T22:01:27.658-06:00The Plunge <p> It was 17 degrees this morning and that meant a 61 degree plunge from yesterday. That was shocking but even more shocking was the wind. That was buffeting the house making it creak and groan. We cancelled the walk. I built a nice hot fire in the living room wood burner and sat down to read not finishing until after 8:00 am. After cooking and eating breakfast I went to the barn to finish the cleaning. I have someone coming on Friday so want it looking nice. I got it all done except the floor scrubbing and when I got back to the house asked Mark if he could use his floor scrubber in the living area. He could and he did. When I went back over it really looked nice. He just may have a new job from now on. Ruth took mom to Bible study today which gave Karin the day off. I'm getting lots of messages about her house but unfortunately they are all wanted to either rent it or rent to own. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYddhsH__KNOQM3oa5rj4vEgXo8t1ouZ0ZHoy-E3Xgw4brGnif6osY1IqU8en4CIm_u_PwiT_5yLWj9iAQtzDQccl8nBTUaZAk-Hzp6ObD-iVryuwV0Zxv88ArMJZjUcp2pBVoyP3ZnBgkqtz-XkHXer52ZC6Uza41auB28H73lVzkKvjaBBPvLpOwoQ/s960/bb9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPYddhsH__KNOQM3oa5rj4vEgXo8t1ouZ0ZHoy-E3Xgw4brGnif6osY1IqU8en4CIm_u_PwiT_5yLWj9iAQtzDQccl8nBTUaZAk-Hzp6ObD-iVryuwV0Zxv88ArMJZjUcp2pBVoyP3ZnBgkqtz-XkHXer52ZC6Uza41auB28H73lVzkKvjaBBPvLpOwoQ/w400-h300/bb9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One lady almost begged, she is retired and lives in a mobile home and desperately wants out of that into a house. We left early tonight for church so we could stop at Meisters and drop off the Bible studies for Roanoke to grade. David had the message tonight. I have no words to describe the message it is one you will want to watch for yourself by clicking <b><a href="https://vimeo.com/916488604/f68f6d094a" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>.

Just then he heard a thump at the sliding glass door and a whine. He turned the outside lights on and there was Kabur, Sarah's dog asking to come in. Mark opened the door and Kabur walked over to Mark's desk and sat under it. He was all wet as it had rained some during the night so Mark left him be and read in the living room. I was up about 4:15 am, grabbed a cup of coffee walked into the rec-room and Kabur got up came over to greet me then went back under the desk. Sure don't know what that was about. Mom called at 6:30 am to make sure she was going to Berean with Ruth and I. I explained to her that Ruth was not coming as she was getting her crown this morning. Mom started laughing and was more than willing to give Ruth HER crown. We decided we would ask Ruth to come in to mom's this morning after the walk and 'help' me with the wheelchair. Then mom would give her a crown. It worked perfectly.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAPUwm5y8u6QpyFnj74vu8CVD-q7nwL8pTSY_e5bRq5CREUQEjt5Ny3OlHNCzCh402qPzucXxW8hHki9GTsFJUDFTxHjDa0fZLu4P0L-jmaeyo9gwgAkZCeZI75SfB172Xs8z38lvuWAGLx9xoO5aT-c2JNPyWdoe1gfgdy6qt-C_DSEuivo2j4r1e_y0/s1065/ab6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="644" data-original-width="1065" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAPUwm5y8u6QpyFnj74vu8CVD-q7nwL8pTSY_e5bRq5CREUQEjt5Ny3OlHNCzCh402qPzucXxW8hHki9GTsFJUDFTxHjDa0fZLu4P0L-jmaeyo9gwgAkZCeZI75SfB172Xs8z38lvuWAGLx9xoO5aT-c2JNPyWdoe1gfgdy6qt-C_DSEuivo2j4r1e_y0/w400-h243/ab6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When Ruth bent down to greet mom, mom had the crown in her hand.

It will need to be fixed if we rent it but we can easily start it by choking it manually. Who knows maybe by the time we are ready to rent it out it will have fixed itself. Right after I got home Rick from Zane's called to report my car was done. On Sunday we took Mark's car there to get repaired and that got done yesterday. We picked his car up yesterday and dropped mine off and today it is done and we are $1900.00 poorer but both cars are working great. Mark's is a 2014 Prius and mine is a 2007 Prius, both have a little more than 160,000 miles on them. Mark had googled the problem and one of the the answer came back that the rotors need to be replaced on these cars at around 160,000 miles. Sure enough that was what was needed. These two cars have been so reliable we have very few repairs. They are well worth fixing.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Since we don't have the 5th wheels anymore I decided to list that camp site on Hipcamp.

I added those roasted seasoned mini potatoes to Mark's plate as he really likes those. We had a high of 76 degrees today and even this evening it was 68 degrees but now the wind has picked up gusting over 30 mps and changed now coming from the Northwest. The temperature is dropping like a stone. Snow is moving in by midnight and by 7:00 am it is predicted to be only 21 degrees. Crazy to have a 55 degree drop in less than 12 hours. Thankfully the cold spell is supposed to be short lived. It seemed weird to be bringing in piles of wood for the wood burner when it is 68 degrees out. </div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-85490467828455202032024-02-26T20:51:00.003-06:002024-02-27T04:27:08.190-06:00New Record High <p> We slept good but both overslept not rising until almost 6:00 am. At least we awoke refreshed and quickly made ready for the day. We walked but I needed to quit by 8:30 to be with mom today. Karin was going to Maquon to show her house to a person of the other gender. Mom was worried about her going alone and suggested taking Faith with her. Faith is such a big scary person Karin would be safe with her. That made us all laugh. Ruth and Fedi were going to go to replace her storm door so the protection was all taken care of. At 10:00 am mom wanted to call her to make sure she was still safe so I sent the text, "mom wants to call you to make sure you are safe and not with a serial killer. Instead I thought a text might be better just in case you are busy defending yourself." She wrote back, "he was a no show." hmmm he must have found out Karin was protected. While she was there she got the garage cleaned out. This really is a nice house with a large yard for sale just 15 minutes from Galesburg with great neighbors. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwPBqEsXbKnbDANyde_tvEv-29GnN1Ry1AdU7ahMfc-nquTSO-mqt5m-aPnxAj69gYkzlUTQZVVlPJ7MHE4BW2XaJO5utuCmrTar-LgCAmAH5DxC7odPBbXR7Bu7c8RZy1Vjy1kJFFr6VI8qIQb14i5v2GEmF6YMIYQ4F7ySHqwplkrLW8z28P5Kur2lQ/s960/a6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwPBqEsXbKnbDANyde_tvEv-29GnN1Ry1AdU7ahMfc-nquTSO-mqt5m-aPnxAj69gYkzlUTQZVVlPJ7MHE4BW2XaJO5utuCmrTar-LgCAmAH5DxC7odPBbXR7Bu7c8RZy1Vjy1kJFFr6VI8qIQb14i5v2GEmF6YMIYQ4F7ySHqwplkrLW8z28P5Kur2lQ/w400-h300/a6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The living room is really nice with a wood floor for easy cleaning.

While I was working in the barn Mark and Mackenson were working on potholes. Mark was using the small Kubota with the excavator on the back digging up the hole then the front bucket to scoop up gravel and dump that in the hole while Mackenson shoveled and packed. We were both ready to quit and start supper. Tonight we had roasted seasoned mini potatoes, steamed asparagus with butter and salt and some fish fillets. For dessert were left over fried glazed crescents with hot tea. We sure live good. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089353650388369757.post-84463552619356573282024-02-25T20:27:00.002-06:002024-02-25T20:27:30.854-06:00Honor to Serve<p> Today was our turn to serve lunch at the Peoria church. We left at 7:45 am to pick up 10 dozen flips from Casey's then drove to church. After unloading those Mark left for Schnucks to pick up the 5 dozen fried glazed crescents. By the time he got back David and Stephanie had arrived at church along with Amy and Ken. Kathy O arrived right after that. The only real labor to get the food ready was to cut the cucumbers. David started on those then even Israel helped. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRz3RRFiFs7h1_6oL6nvxM4RsT1LNUL8rfKr1w7XTM40b2rY_3oQw674Pb17me9HCgzSYcAcWvdHy8G0JxoOAHW1a2sa8rz7rAH2wJM3_sPOfFyvNIwhN6MpH0JzOr1LBk-D5B_mAylXBdJ68xALoKxZdVetanEvAFSM_N85CLvJwmQjL2f3pAOxOST5w/s813/a1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="646" data-original-width="813" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRz3RRFiFs7h1_6oL6nvxM4RsT1LNUL8rfKr1w7XTM40b2rY_3oQw674Pb17me9HCgzSYcAcWvdHy8G0JxoOAHW1a2sa8rz7rAH2wJM3_sPOfFyvNIwhN6MpH0JzOr1LBk-D5B_mAylXBdJ68xALoKxZdVetanEvAFSM_N85CLvJwmQjL2f3pAOxOST5w/w400-h318/a1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">No other pictures were taken while at church. We were all just too busy to think about pictures. Peoria had a visiting minister today, Rick Kaisner's family came and Rick had the morning message. As we were busy in the kitchen we couldn't really hear it but will for SURE watch that tomorrow. If you would like to watch it too click <b><a href="https://vimeo.com/915403703/a892917dda" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>. After that came the lunch. We were happy that there was plenty of good food and even some to share for later. We ended up taking home a full tray of the sprout sandwiches from Costco and 3 dozen raspberry flips that didn't even get opened. There were also some left on the trays. Next time instead of ordering 10 dozen we could cut that down to 6 dozen. The fried glazed crescents were cut in half and we had only a bag of those left, not sure how many. Of the 10 dozen chocolate chip cookies there were maybe 15 left and only 6 of the iced sugar cookies. The cinnamon rolls also went over very well. I think we brought home 8 of those. Craig Stickling had the afternoon message but we had not finished putting everything away and cleaning up until that service was almost over. SO for SURE that is another that I get to watch tomorrow. Click <b><a href="https://vimeo.com/916464705/15b872fc7d" target="_blank">HERE</a></b> to see that. After leaving church we drove straight to the barn to unload the food. A tray was taken over to mom's house for their supper then the rest made ready for supper. I also cooked 4 pizzas and 12 corn dogs. The leftovers, pizza and corn dogs went over great and by the end of the evening most of the food was gone. Although the 3 dozen flips that had not even been opened were frozen and will be used for the Berean volunteers. The weather was so nice that almost everyone played outside until dark. The grand kids took both of the golf carts out for some fun. Even the volley ball players played outside until dark. I was washing and drying sheets from the guests that stayed the night. There were 18 of them so all of the bedding needed to be washed. They left a great review and I hope they come back. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Circular, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><b>Our youth group came down for a concert and they really had a good time at the Airbnb with the numerous activities. We’re sad that it was only for a short stay but maybe in the future we’ll come back for a longer stay. They even said it would be a good youth retreat getaway. And we liked the Bible verses around the house. Judith was very responsive and gave great direction. We appreciated everything. Thanks! </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At dark the volleyball players left the outdoor court and came inside to finish playing.

That should easily get us through until we can cut hay again. Mark and I left at 1:45 pm to drive to Costco to pick up the sprout sandwiches for church lunch tomorrow. That place was packed. Shoppers had carts full of stuff. By looking around you couldn't even tell there is a recession going on. We had one problem, Costco doesn't take Discover card and that is the only card I use. Mark has a Master Card and they don't take that either. He ended up using his debit card. From there we drove to church, put the 15 trays of sandwiches in the fridge then set up the tables and move out the serving carts. We need to leave here tomorrow by 7:50 am. On our way back Anna sent the picture of Taegan's basketball tournament. The Farmington Farmers won the tournament.

Diane called during walk time to join us but instead just got to visit with me. They are having a really good time in Gulf Shores, it is a good group of people that live in her complex. She says it is like living in her own retirement facility. Two of the other owners grew up with us and were in Diane's Sunday school class and another 2 are both family, Mike's sister and our brother, then there are maybe 4 other owners that we know from church. Then across the street is Beth and Greg and Rachel and Dave. After breakfast Mark left for the shop while I went to the barn to finish cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen. It really looks nice and is now ready for the company coming in tomorrow afternoon. Mark got home with a new set of keys for the motorhome. I took the golf cart up to the barn to make sure they worked and while up there checked out the keys for the Mini Max Little Guy. This is a little different, the purple door key also opens the outdoor compartment. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn8_pV0l5x6SF1qT-f4N5OFebDnUGEeHn8FbBK4XGWInHaS5qCqqHu0ZRR1RiTnEkDGeSmr5ztV02myiAmqjt-S15VkEebii0m3O59KhFvXDeZiRkJOpsxLrC2qozvZdn5vPIxBV8cd3wIif0MCuxn2L5PMnZ6QfQnbbtGAjSD-y55vc5M3fT400ra_Ag/s890/a6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="649" data-original-width="890" height="291" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn8_pV0l5x6SF1qT-f4N5OFebDnUGEeHn8FbBK4XGWInHaS5qCqqHu0ZRR1RiTnEkDGeSmr5ztV02myiAmqjt-S15VkEebii0m3O59KhFvXDeZiRkJOpsxLrC2qozvZdn5vPIxBV8cd3wIif0MCuxn2L5PMnZ6QfQnbbtGAjSD-y55vc5M3fT400ra_Ag/w400-h291/a6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4RtOCvRf26OOcaDWr056sdo9kencZ2uypl2B3iSR70ESvRhToAK3KdAASORP4SO0kqvJE29bckZJUdrC6GYCjmAOxi61nr2ejGcIJMRvNmubpVzTy86w7pdszLgMz-1lHdYsAcNmnNigOjBKzR9cRrrKE3mtqFDUtaOHQwQz7oP7hjZracfT7azygehI/s1157/a7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="1157" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4RtOCvRf26OOcaDWr056sdo9kencZ2uypl2B3iSR70ESvRhToAK3KdAASORP4SO0kqvJE29bckZJUdrC6GYCjmAOxi61nr2ejGcIJMRvNmubpVzTy86w7pdszLgMz-1lHdYsAcNmnNigOjBKzR9cRrrKE3mtqFDUtaOHQwQz7oP7hjZracfT7azygehI/w400-h224/a7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We are going to list this on RV Share as a rental. It has a dry weight of just 1900 pounds and can be pulled by smaller vehicles such as a mini van that has a tow package. The down side of this is it ONLY sleeps 2 people and there is no room to squeeze in a 3rd. The upside is a BATHROOM. Small trailers that are light weight don't usually have bathrooms. This also has a decent size fridge and freezer.

We went that route once with the 2011 trailer and after staying in it one time with Mark, I ended up on the couch. It was much to claustrophobic for 2 of us crammed in with walls on both sides.

Karin invited us to dinner tonight. She and mom tried out a new chicken recipe. Both of them worked on it. We arrived just before 5:30 pm and it wasn't quite done. Mom told us "That was ALL Karin's fault, she wanted her to put it in the oven sooner." We had to laugh. The meal was good.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1KGOo_rJ8TemGL2mWrGEPoFubZj2EoIV0LhqC-YxhaEpBzThwCui9PsUfnYbEwpYm0f9Yt1HeH6uoSEp7iWAV1O2RRZflD14CNlgEZq1NcJohCLlAEAyeuYfsTrzz15WNlQ5jg6C0M_y6iGm3HyupqYWCh3jleG_jTjerzcBVXPlN3sWUuIYTYE_FFg/s644/a8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="642" data-original-width="644" height="399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1KGOo_rJ8TemGL2mWrGEPoFubZj2EoIV0LhqC-YxhaEpBzThwCui9PsUfnYbEwpYm0f9Yt1HeH6uoSEp7iWAV1O2RRZflD14CNlgEZq1NcJohCLlAEAyeuYfsTrzz15WNlQ5jg6C0M_y6iGm3HyupqYWCh3jleG_jTjerzcBVXPlN3sWUuIYTYE_FFg/w400-h399/a8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The vegetables were really good also. Karin used season salt on them which gave them a different flavor. Karin told us Diane recommended that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSOWaVebkviPUGypCSpOXeS0E0xrg8lE3LBwYr7M8tbwYrLVy9TDTmgBL58-6g8YPf4Gv1NOxncfMHosvOX7bEq0HcfXfoG0lkorwLcqxzsXTgyWUjBoHWhxDnrzkiAmYerphIoSuIQIR9SjDYoj9TlzrI-Ww7I5cIsSJV03bPG_8oV2vMMsCcDeASrxs/s1371/a9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="649" data-original-width="1371" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSOWaVebkviPUGypCSpOXeS0E0xrg8lE3LBwYr7M8tbwYrLVy9TDTmgBL58-6g8YPf4Gv1NOxncfMHosvOX7bEq0HcfXfoG0lkorwLcqxzsXTgyWUjBoHWhxDnrzkiAmYerphIoSuIQIR9SjDYoj9TlzrI-Ww7I5cIsSJV03bPG_8oV2vMMsCcDeASrxs/w400-h189/a9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm going to have to try that. The chicken was mixed with cream cheese then wrapped in crescent roll dough. We left for home around 7:00 pm.

By the time I finished and went to sit outside a brisk wind picked up so instead I turned on the heated throw and sat inside. Tonight we built a fire to warm up the house. We have falling temperatures and a wintry mix moving in. It is supposed to bottom out at 24 degrees but tomorrow a high of 42 and Sunday sunny and 64. The grass is growing!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Judy Sceggelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694010035427779313noreply@blogger.com0
