Marika's Filly SOLD

Mark had to leave by 6:30 am to turn on the air conditioning at church, the remote wireless stuff he usually does at home was not working. He got it going then drove home to pick me up. Mom went with Ruth as she and Fede were serving lunch today. I didn't want to go in early as I had Hadassah and Twilight stalled. They needed to be fed and watered and the stalls cleaned.
David Obergfel had the morning service and Tim Funk had the afternoon. I had to leave church a bit early as we had someone coming at 2:00 pm to look at Marika's filly by Evan.

We got home about 1:45 pm and I just had enough time to change out of my Sunday clothes, head over to the cabin field and bring Marika and her filly over to the barn. Marika was a little muddy and both were hot so they were both sprayed off then stalled. The customers arrived 5 minutes early and it didn't take long before they decided to buy her. They wanted to see her sire so Evan was brought out and let loose in the outdoor arena where he promptly showed off a bit then did his tricks. After the paper work was done I was telling them they could bring the filly back at age 3 for a reduced stud fee to Valiant and that meant another trip over to Valiant's pasture so they could meet him. Not to brag or anything but he was SO impressive. He came galloping up to us, slammed on the breaks and stuck his head into my arms for petting.
Most of the family ended up down at the river front to hear the band OutHear play then our kids met at Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner finishing up at Phil and Anna's for games. Rachel invited the young group to the lake for a cook out and Mark and I ended up over at the playground to watch the volley ball and visit with the adults. It was another long but good day.
