Darkness Falls

Mark brought home the brand new wood burner for the office in the back of his truck. The easiest way to get it off the back of the truck is to use the skid steer but before putting the bucket on that we needed to use the bale spear to move a round bale in for Fire the outside mare. While we were working on that Diane called to see if we would like to go to Middle Grove to see the new building Mike and Spark moved from War Memorial Drive out to Middle Grove. Spark & Rhonda drove out with Mike and Diane, Rhoda met us at Mike's law office to drive out with us. Unfortunately the sun was sinking fast and before we arrived at the Middle Grove farm darkness had fallen. We were driving our little Toyota Matrix on those rough farm lanes and actually made it all the way to the creek without losing any car body parts.
The building is charming. It is a small 2 story that reminds one of the gingerbread house in the story of Hansel and Gretal. No pictures of that tonight, it was just too dark. We headed back to Hanna City to eat dinner at Gils Supper Club and saw Amy Beth, her husband Jarad, her 3 daughters and her father-in-law there. During dinner Mike and Diane told us about what happened last night when trick or treaters showed up at their door. With no candy in the house, Mike pulls a frozen pizza out of the freezer and hands it to them. He just didn't want to face any tricks in the morning.
After dinner it was off to the farm house for more ideas on how to make this 150 year old house into a home. It was after 9:00pm before Mark finally was able to open the box containing the wood burner.
