Whitney

Mark was up around 4:00 am and hit the coffee brew button. The smell of brewing coffee wakes my brain up and it was telling me the time must be 5:00 am, the coffee's on. It was shocking to see it wasn't 5:00 am but still not worth going back to bed. As soon as it was light enough to see the horses were fed. Whitney is in and showing well. Valiant had no problem covering her. We were a little concerned since this is the first time he has been put to work since he was diagnosed with West Nile.

This mare is so tall we were a little worried that Valiant would have trouble balancing but he got the job done and was quick about it. We had a fun walk today attended by Joan, Rachel, Ruth, Diane, mom and me. I quit early though so I could get down to TEMCO to pick up the Berean mail and still make it to the Berean office before the volunteers showed up. We had a good group of volunteers. They were opening, reading letters and processing studies. Dakota was in the other room labeling Bibles then hauling them out to the car. A short video was taken which will be placed on the Berean Facebook page.
We broke for lunch at noon. Mom provided a delicious meal staring bbq ribs that were so tender they just fell off the bone, broccoli, fresh fruit, rolls with butter and ice cream bars for dessert. Shirley brought in brownies and bars. We sure don't starve in this office. Below we are enjoying the meal.

After lunch we worked until 2:00 pm and were able to finish the studies. Hopefully tomorrow the hundreds of letters will be processed.
Anna was here at the farm doing a webinar for her work so the girls were taken to the playground. It was just such a beautiful day to be outside.
Mark and I went to mom's for left-overs for supper. We spent the evening over there visiting. I talked to Dan last night about using the Farmington school for pony rides for the Spoon River drive now that the outside work there is about done. He talked to Chris the lady in charge of Crafter's Korner today. She is coming in to check out the gym and the remains of the school and will give us some good ideas as far as advertising. Dan told me today things are looking up!
