Phone Works

After church yesterday Phil, Anna, Brealyn, Taegan, Anna's brother Ashley and Sarah came over to install the gift the kids gave us, the Wilson Phone Booster. They didn't quite have time to finish the installation before the steak dinner over at mom's was done and of course broke for that. Who wants a cold steak dinner? After we all finished eating it was time for games, we played the new game and Rook although Phil and Mark left to keep working on the phone booster. Ruth & Fede came to pick up mom right on time for their long drive down to Gulf Shores, AL. Their 8 passenger van only had 5 in it for the trip leaving plenty of room to take Nancy home, just a short 5 minutes out of their way. By the time we came back to the farm house the booster was up and running and working! The phones work, I can now get phone calls, answer phone calls, get my messages and all without leaving the warmth of the house and standing outside. I found I had a lot of unheard messages. Mike and Diane spent the afternoon at the cottage in Middle Grove. They took the pictures below.

So now we have proof the horses are drinking out of the automatic waterer. Diane said she walked all around looking for a reason there would be blood on the snow, checking tails, legs, and bodies and can't find any wounds, or bloody tails. She said some of the horses were eating off the round bales and some were grazing through the snow. Even though it was Christmas, Mark got the trailer unhooked from the truck, used the chain saw cleaning up some fallen logs in the 2 pastures then used the truck to haul the logs over to our huge wood pile. He finished up by putting all the vehicles inside.
