Perfect

Mom, Aunt Jinnie, and Diane rode to church with us. We took mom's car though to make it easier for her to get inside.  Tim Funk had the 9:00 am service and David had the 11:00 am service. Both messages were inspired and both are already posted on AC Central. If you would like to listen to them. For those with just phones click HERE for the AC Central link, or if you are on a computer there is a link here on this blog under great website links click on AC Central, then click on Sermons then just scroll down to Peoria. Beth is in Gulf Shores and sent pictures taken today AFTER Hurricane Laura.  The picture below shows how the storm surge took away the beach and eroded the dunes and is taken in front of mom's condo.

The picture below is taken in front of Diane's condo, you can see her Townhome complex in the picture.

The beach is GONE and to think this was MILES away from where Laura made landfall.

Karin, Magda and Isaiah worked with all 3 weanlings again, bringing each into a stall, picking up hooves, tying and handling them. I am SO grateful for their willingness to work with them and their owners will all be pleased.

After church I started cooking for our Sunday dinner which we decided was going to be a picnic at the playground and any one that wanted to come was invited.

Below the kids are running to the trampoline. Notice the cloud of dust in the background. We have had no rain so each time a car goes by the dust flies.

The kids spent hours decorating their fort in the pine trees with cat tail fluff. They spread it on the ground in front of their fort, up into the branches and made, as they called it, a WONDERLAND!

They were very proud of their hard work on ripping up the cattails and pulling the fluff out to decorate. Of course fluff was flying everywhere.We had a good group come. After supper the volley ball games went on quite late. Below Dan is giving Diesel a drink.

There was plenty of action on the court and off the court. Rhoda took some the grandchildren over to round pen Jury. Each one got the opportunity to learn a little about training, even the youngest, Abe.

We were having a beautiful sunset while they were hard at work.

The weather was perfect, after the games a fire was started. Rachel and Dan played the guitars and so we sang around the campfire, at least those that could sing.

The fire was perfect for s'mores.
