It was only 40 degrees this morning when it was time for the walk. Ruth couldn't come today so mom, Aunt Jinnie and started walking to Joan's. Joan met us at the top of the hill. We only did 1 round today, mom was having a little trouble breathing. It could have been the laughter though. Mom forgot her water so when we got to Joan's house she drank a cup of water then as we were heading back I asked mom, "Do you want to go slower?" and she replied, "No I only drink that when I'm desperate and no water is available!" Both Aunt Jinnie and I were confused until I realized mom thought I asked if she wanted a drink of soda. Oh how we laughed, those hearing aids of hers don't always work well. Joshua was brushed down today as he was supposed to be leaving. Then the 2003 truck was pulled out to hook up to the 2 horse trailer only to find the wrong hitch on it. That hitch was removed and I started looking for the correct hitch and didn't find that until after Mark was called to see if there may be one down at Meisters. The right hitch was in the bed of the truck but behind the wheel well AND covered with leaves. With the wind yesterday and the falling leaves they had pooled on top of the hitch hiding it well. The truck was hooked up and the paper work all ready but then came the phone call canceling for today. The transport company is delayed and should be here tomorrow late afternoon or evening. Nolan is using the 2 horse trailer tomorrow to deliver Jenis but hopefully will be home before the transport company arrives or I will be hooking the old truck up to the big 4 horse trailer. Karin arrived this afternoon to take Shaeya, Faith and Berlica to Jubilee. Horses taken today were Sangria, Mika, Jury and Sally.

Sale Pending
Below the 4 horses are loaded and heading out. Jury is in front, then Mika then Sangria and finally Sally.
They went on a 4 hour trail ride and only posted one picture.
Karin took the picture of riding in the golden forest. Berlica rode Jury, Faith rode Mika, Shaeya rode Sangria and Karin rode Sally. Shaeya has a device that tells how far they rode and even measured the speed. At one point Sangria was galloping at 22 miles per hour. Sangria is one of my favorite riding horses, she has a wonderful smooth canter that feels like flying. They all had a wonderful time. Faith loved riding Mika and Berlica had fun on Jury. We had two sisters show up to look at the motor home this afternoon. They arrived in this nice shiny red car.
Every year these two sisters drive to Texas and stay for the winter and this year they decided to buy a motor home for the trip. They really liked ours and decided to buy it even though it isn't available until next week. What is interesting about these two sisters is the oldest of the two is 80 years old and is the mechanic and driver and the younger sister is 75 years old and can fix things. What an example they are to the younger generation. They are leaving this week for a trip to the smoky mountains and will pick up the motor home a week from Monday. We really enjoyed visiting with them. After Karin got back from Jubilee and the horses were put away the trailer was backed in and unhooked from the truck. Mark showed up right then to help hook up the 2 horse trailer and put a bale of hay in the back of the truck. Nolan is going to come early tomorrow to take Jenis and I wanted everything ready.
