That text shocked a few of our family members. Rachel didn't know that Nancy Herman was so sick and when she saw the text thought it was our Nancy and her heart dropped.
Dan was asked last week to pick up our Nancy for me on Sunday and bring her to church. He had such a busy weekend that he wrote it on his calendar Saturday to call to arrange pickup for Nancy on Sunday, then again on his calendar on Sunday to pick up Nancy. With Nancy on his mind when he got the text around 7:30 am it shocked him to the core. He exclaimed loudly, "WHAT!" Susan asked, "what's wrong?" After reading the text again realized Beth must be talking about Nancy Herman. What a way to start Sunday!
Mark, mom and I left for church just before 9:00 am. Ruth and Fedi were serving lunch this week. Joan and all of her children AND grandchildren (at least those that live in the area) were also there to help. Lunch went great, they had plenty of help and plenty of food. Willis had the morning service and Tim Roecker had the afternoon.
Ruth took mom and Nancy home so Mark and I could stop at Kroger on Sterling to pick up some dessert for our supper tonight. We met Dan and Susan there. They were there to help someone put in an application for work. This lady works at the Madison Park Kroger and now that they are shutting down that store she was hopeful to find work at this Kroger.
When we got home mom and Nancy still weren't back, they had stopped to see Jessica's new house on their way home.
Karin arrived to start tacking up mares for the trail ride today. We had another beautiful day, sunny and 45 degrees. I was able to snap just a few pictures before mom arrived with Nancy. Below Tyler is tacking up Indy, his mount while Anna waits for Samantha to bring her tack over. I had all the mares groomed up on Friday for Dr. Hoerr and again on Saturday for the farrier and yet when we pull them out it was obvious they had all rolled in the mud again.
Karin is leading in Galena, her mount for this ride.
Tyler and Samantha are warming up Indy and Anna while Studley waits.
As soon as Karin had Galena tacked up they went first to the outdoor arena to work with their horses before the trail ride.
Mom arrived right about then so I snapped one more picture.
I took the golf cart over to mom's house to pick up Nancy's pills. It wasn't warm enough for Nancy to go out to the barn as she only had on church clothes. She helped me set the table for our company tonight. David, Stephanie, Israel and Elisabet joined us for dinner.
Elisabet wanted to play with that big dog pillow but Emma was laying on it and wouldn't move. It was funny to watch Elisabet try to talk Emma into giving her the pillow.

I took Nancy home to Morton about 7:00 pm. She was tired but had such a good time 'helping'. Nancy loves to help and cheerfully does what ever we ask her to do. It was a good day.
