Long Day

I was right about the driveways around here, this morning there was so much hard ice that for the walk we walked in the yard around mom's house instead of doing the barn drive and heading back from Spark and Rhonda's we decided it would be best to take the scenic route through their yard instead of trying to go down the driveway hill. Mom wasn't too pleased with the scenic route she couldn't take her eyes off her feet, just trying to pick the safest place to put them.
I left early for the Berean office knowing today would be a long day without a lot of our usual volunteers. To read about our LONG hard day click HERE.
By the time the mail was dropped off at the post office and the garbage taken to the dumpster it was almost 4:00 pm. Karin had the mares in the arena but by the time I arrived she had finished and they were ready to go back outside.

 They were patiently waiting as she started putting on lead ropes.

The vaulting team was arriving so Karin asked some of them to help take the mares back out. I snapped those few pictures then went in to take care of a few things so missed the vaulting practice. Karin called after the vaulting practice to report it went well and the heater is working wonderful. Last year we struggled with a heater that just kept turning off, we finally broke down and bought a new different kind of heater and this one not only puts out more heat it doesn't use as much propane.
Tonight I'm on hold with the Drury Inn in Springfield trying to add another room to our block of rooms. We now have 31 rooms booked for the IL Horse Fair. AMAZING
