Galena's Filly Sold

Well even though we awoke to rain and the hay was cut and the 2 weanlings that were being shown today were out in the rain I still determined that I would praise HIM for the rain. We got up at 5:00 am to get most of the house clean before heading out in the rain to get the weanlings in the stalls and start cleaning them up while singing "Thank You For the Rain".  The two that needed to come in weren't too muddy and both were easy to lead inside and into the stalls. Of course it helped that their grain was waiting for them in the buckets.  As they were eating their grain the water buckets were filled and fresh hay brought inside. Then Legend, Zalena's filly was cross tied and groomed. She wasn't too happy but had gotten into the burrs again with not just her tail and mane but the feather on all 4 legs had burrs.  She was pretty good getting those nasty burrs out. Galena's filly was next.  By the time I had finished cleaning them up an hour had past and I only had 10 minutes to shower and get ready for church.  Church was a blessing. Greg Rumbold had the morning message reading first Psalm 23 and then John 10. This afternoon Mike Kaisner had the message and that was on Jesus in the boat calming the winds and the waves.  You really did need to be there but if you couldn't be there the next best thing would be to listen on AC central. 
Mom and I left right after church riding with Mike and Diane. I had a lady coming to see Galena's filly and the owner of Zalena's filly was coming to pick her up.  They both ended up here at the same time. We said good by to Zalena's filly then went down to the house to write a receipt for the deposit on Galena's filly.  By the time everyone was gone the family was all here for dinner and all pitched in to help cook the dinner. Mark grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, Rhoda made a pound of bacon for the hamburger toppings, Anna peeled and sliced avocado's and tomatoes and set the table. Dinner was delicious. We had brownies and ice cream for dessert.  After dinner we headed over to the playground for the volley ball games. Below are a few pictures.

Karin took a group over to the round pen to ride Valiant.  Below are the kids all waiting their turn.

Each got to ride that big black stallion all by themselves.

By the time they quit the sun had gone down and it was getting dark fast.  We took the kids back over to the playground where the volley ball games were still going strong under the lights. The kids had to run and tell their parents what they got to do.  We really did have another super Sunday.
