Internet

Philip came and rescued us again! Our router is bad but he got at least one computer working so until Mark buys a new router we will share this one. One would think this wouldn't be a problem but ALL of us need internet, Sarah and Rhoda for school, Mark for his business and of course for me, the Horsemeister business is completely dependent on internet. Most of our sales come from our website so it is very important to be able to answer emails as quickly as possible.
We FROZE at work today, Eva Jean got permission to buy a portable heater but at lunch Mark and Dan thought we should go with an unvented gas heater. Dan may have an extra one at the Old School Center and we will get Greg, his handyman to install it. Hope we can have it done before next Tuesday, what a privilege to have heat. It was in the low teens this afternoon and the next few days to get down to about zero. We had such a nice little break from the extreme cold last week. We are so glad all of our hauling was done before the freeze.
At the farm, Mike moved a round bale in for Clara and her colt now that they are locked in the small paddock of the breeding shed. The 2 boys are doing fine together, I'm glad they have each other. Jenis is SO glad to get rid of Valiant. Ribbon is due Friday but Karin does not think she looks pregnant which means she did lose her foal at Middle Grove. We know she was pregnant in September when we hauled her out there. The vet is coming Monday for 3 sonagrams, 5 coggins, a progesterone test on Samantha and to look at Lily and tell me what should be done for her. This one is going to be a big bill. We may as well have him look at Ribbon at that time also since she is one of the horses down for a new coggins.
It looks like Joan and Tim will not be able to join us on the cruise Feb. 7th They bought a non refundable ticket but hopefully the cruise line will understand about trying to get in and out of Haiti.
