Thankful So very Thankful

We had a really wonderful day at Berean. Not a lot of volunteers but those who came knew what to do and went right to work. We had a surprisingly big mail day for a Thursday. By the time Diane and I were done entering the 405 Bible request and a full mail box of studies we were more than ready to quit.
Our volunteers were Eva Jean, Edie, Roma, Diane R, Diane H, Rachel, Jessica, Maria, Megan, Justin, Timothy and Shirley. The camera is not yet back, officially vacation doesn't end until Saturday so that's the day the camera will be put back in use. Sorry no pictures today from Berean today. The people from Rainbow Riders posted some pictures of Ribbon and her filly I can borrow and post.

Ribbon and her filly went to college, well really they went to Monmouth college all-sports camp where 16 riders learned to vault and canter on Ribbon. Her filly was a star, the campers and instructors couldn't believe how sweet and gentle she is. Rainbow Riders borrowed them on Monday and let Karin bring them back this afternoon.
I didn't come straight home from Berean, instead started going to neighbors to ask them about Rhoda and Lee's dog. Most of them have seen the sign and all of them said they would call if they spot her. How could a small 12 pound dog disappear in minutes?
Mark had a service man here to try to repair our air conditioner but he wasn't able to fix it. So funny we own a heating and air conditioning business and yet our air conditioner is broke. It probably happened during the last storms. The electricity kept going off. We hit 90 degrees today, the barn was nice and cool, the central air in there works great. Mark brought home a window air and that is going full blast.
Mark brought the big truck home and Emily helped me hook it up to the big trailer. Karin is taking that tomorrow morning for a horse camping trip and Emily is taking the other truck and stock trailer to the PRC show tomorrow evening.
Whitney, her filly, Haddasah and her filly were let out for the night. We spent some time just watching those fillies buck and run around. Both fillies are spectacular in their movement, looks and disposition. I really do have the best job in the world. Once the stalls were cleaned and ready for the morning Mark and I got the whelping box out of the barn and into the house. Emma is due, restless and acting like she is going to have puppies, she has teats heavy with milk and yet is thin. Could this be a false pregnancy? Soon we will know one way or other, if she is pregnant there must not be many pups. The last time she was huge.
Emily borrowed the truck and trailer today to take her goat over to Gary's and bring her cow home. This cow is due in a couple weeks but the neat thing is this cow was born here a couple years ago. She also brought George (Megan's horse) over since he will be going to the show tomorrow with Killian. Prissy was teased and she is now out. We will start counting the days.
The evening is pleasant, the arena lights are on and Emily is working Killian to prepare him for the show tomorrow. The place looks great, Emily has all the yards mowed, the paddocks weed whacked, the fences all repaired, new electric fence on Killian's paddock, the grain bins are full, and the arena looks wonderful all raked and weeded. What a blessing she has been for us. We come back from vacation and things don't look neglected.
I am thankful.
