Disaster this morning, our coffee maker quit. A rubber band was tied around the filled coffee filter and that was put into boiling water. It worked but not very well. Mark got online and ordered another that will be here on Monday.
Mom and I were the only ones on the walk. Diane and Beth are in Branson, Joan has co-op and Ruth had to leave early for work today. We looked pretty funny, 2 invalids holding each other up as we ambled down the drive. Of course if mom tripped I was going to drop her like a stone. I can't imagine falling right now. After the walk I just cooked breakfast for mom and I. Thankfully she had coffee left from yesterday. Mom was left on the couch and I went home to work. Today I had to figure out how to do my laundry without using arms much. The laundry was put into baskets and kicked along the floor into the laundry room then a few items at a time were put into the washer. The grabber can be used to pull the clothes from the washer without too much bending down and the rest is easy.
Everything takes longer than before but I sure can't complain. Cathie Trent had the water company come out to Bridlewood to try to find the leak. We knew there was a leak the bill was extra high but there was no standing water around. They pumped out the vault and sure enough the leak was IN the vault. Tom Meister was able to fix it and is going to order and install a new pressure reducing valve early next week.
A lady wants to come see Darla next Friday and Rhoda just hauled her out to Middle Grove last week.
We will have to watch the weather for the best time to go, there is rain moving in on Sunday.
Ethan is getting picked up around 1:00 pm on Saturday. His owner is going to be thrilled, this colt has 'presence'.
Rhoda wanted to get Rosaleigh, Ethan's dam going undersaddle but didn't want to bring her back until after Ethan leaves. We will plan on bringing her home when we pick up Oksana and Darla.
Flynn doesn't leave until Sunday around 1:00 pm. Flynn is out of Zalena. She sure does throw amazing foals.
Flynn and Ethan have been together in the middle paddock and they are typical boys, always finding something to get into. Last night I saw them playing in the waterer and today they had it knocked over. Emily just happened to drive in to play with Jessica's pugs, saw it knocked over and put it back upright. Mark took me out to Good Tequila's this evening for supper and by the time we got back those boys were back playing in the waterer. They really need something to keep them occupied so we opened up the pond pasture and let them go exploring out there which should keep them busy until we get that waterer bolted down.
Ruth stopped in at mom's after work and promised to stop in again this evening.
Sangria and Serenity were brought in for Serenity's shot. Mark helped with that holding Serenity still while I gave the shot. I'll check her temperature in a few days just to make sure she is still fine.
Today I'm thankful Tom was willing to head right over to Bridlewood, found the leak and fixed it all within a hour. Sure is nice having plumbers in the family.
