What a great crew we had working today, with so many willing hands we were able to open all the mail, process all the mail, stuff all the new lessons and mail out the Bibles. Today mom, Kathy, and Emily joined Diane, Eva Jean and I. We had a few problems the biggest was the copy machine wouldn't turn on and we ran out of some of our lessons. We were going to use the Meister companies copier but Rhonda came from the jail and was using that. Diane placed a call in for the repair man, sure hope that gets fixed quickly. The other problem is the warehouse is now completely out of Bibles AGAIN! If they don't get here by Thursday the jail ladies may as well stay home. We had 10 for lunch, Spark, Dan, Mark and Phil joined us ladies. After lunch Diane was able to use the business copier to make the few copies needed to stuff the last few envelopes. She and Emily stayed late to do that. I had to make a bank run then loaded up Jewel, her filly, Marika and her filly for a trip to Middle Grove. Rhoda was watching Braelyn and Taegan but Anna picked them up just as I was loading so she came along. Once we reached Middle Grove those 4 were unloaded, we walked to where the herd was hanging out and brought back Eliza, her filly Tryn and Whitney. Eliza must be grained as long as she is nursing her big filly as she is losing weight and Whitney has a vet appointment on Friday for an ultrasound to see if she settled.
When we got back Hadassah was teased and she is now out so put in the paddock with Whitney. As the afternoon was sunny and warm Rhoda decided to work Serenity and today put her under saddle. We were very pleased with how this mare behaved, acting like a typical Raven daughter wanting to please her rider.
Mark arrived home and decided to go out to weed whack the fence line to prepare for stringing the last part of the west fence when he was attacked by yellow jackets getting stung over 15 times. Those are nasty insects. He quit on that project and worked on the house. We are re-siding that and getting more insulation and house wrap up to help keep the coming bitter winter winds outside and the warmth from the wood burner inside.
