Middle Grove Pick-Up

Unbelievable but all those Bible labels that were printed out yesterday plus all the mail we had today got processed. In fact we were able to fill every request to the individuals but the only way was to call Ellen to see if she had any that had been returned. She came up with 6 Bibles and that was exactly what was needed. All together we sent out exactly 300 Bibles this week. Two more pallets were ordered. Hope they arrive by Tuesday. The pictures below are of this weeks workers, both Tuesday and Thursday since I finally got time to download them off the camera.

 Above Ava and Faith are stamping envelopes, below Mackenson and Berlica are also stamping envelopes while Hannah stuffs the boxes.

 Above are just a few of the piles of mail that came in on Tuesday and below is the great Tuesday crew all busy opening, reading and processing the mail. front to back is Eva Jean, Shirley, mom and Dave.

 Above Shirley was wondering why someone brought down a bottle of vitamins and burst out laughing when we explained they were paper clips. Our paper clips come back to us in all kinds of containers. Below Chuck is busy applying labels on envelopes then the envelopes onto the studies.

 The next few pictures were taken today, we had a hard working bunch come in for our Thursday work. Emily, Dave and Logan are working on getting the Bibles ready for mailing.

While Rachel and Diane R are busy reading the mail.

Emily is busy stacking the Bibles back into the boxes to transport them out to the truck.

Below is our work train we set up to pack all 25 boxes of Bibles into the truck. 

We put everyone to work around here. We love it when we get young volunteers to do the hauling and lifting. 

Below Logan is on garbage duty. He was busy crushing boxes.

When the kids weren't busy hauling Bibles we put them to work on stamping envelopes.

Emily and Logan took the truck to the post office and unloaded the Bibles. I was thrilled when we were finished by noon. We went to Tyrone's for lunch. Emily took the truck down to TSC to pick up another electric fence charger and fencing supplies. As soon as she was back we put the big truck in the big trailer so I could go to Middle Grove to pick up Piper while she electrified Killian's paddock.

He was following her around trying to help. We are hoping he touches it. This bad boy needs to learn to respect fences when a mare is around instead of charging right through them. We hope it will be a shocking experience for him. Mark came home early to work on spreading gravel.

 I met Karin at Middle Grove and we had a long hike to find the herd. Studly is always glad to lead the way. 

 Above is Bunni standing in front of Jewel. Jewel is due July 7th. Below to the left is Hadassah then Anna and Missy standing together, back in the trees is Marika.

 Above is Ella who was accidently bred last fall. She isn't due until August 29th and Hadassah who is  due August 11th. Both of these mares were bred to Evan.

 Above is Whitney enjoying the shade. She was bred to Valiant and is due July 26th. Below is Prissy and her colt by Valiant. This colt is for sale. He was born April 6th and will be very tall.

 Above is Lily and her colt by Valiant and below is Star's filly by Evan.

 The foals are doing great out there. Hopefully we can get some of the foals we have here out there quickly. We don't like to take them out until the mares are confirmed in foal. When I got back from Middle Grove Mark was working on spreading lime on the round pen area. We are almost ready for sand and once that is spread we will put it up.

Today ended up being a better than expected day with the amount of work accomplished.
