Saying Goodbye

 We lost Emma today. We had rain during the night, she got up and out the dog door by herself but then couldn't seem to get back inside and Mark found her out in the rain all wet. She was losing ground quickly and at 4:48 pm went to sleep and didn't wake up. I'm thankful the end was peaceful. She was a good dog and we will miss her.  Taunya came today with Abe so Abe came with me to Stock & Field to buy grain for the horses. That 4 year old boy is strong. 

He helped push 400 pounds of grain to the check out. 
When we got home he also helped unload the grain. Well he held the door to the shed opened and then smoothed down the grain when it was full and helped put the lids on.  After that we fed horses. He was a big help today.  Anna dropped off Addyson, Jack and Jace after VBS was done and we went on a long golf cart ride stopping at our neighbor's house to check out his covered bridge.

They had a fishing boy under the bell so they posed next to that.
They also stopped at the rock, check out the beautiful lantern by Addyson's face.
After the golf cart ride Taunya took the kids over to mom's beach where Anna's girls joined them. I stayed with Emma as she was needing constant care at this time.  David Jacob and Leah arrived to replace our kitchen sink faucet. I was thankful to have that job done. This evening Mark stayed home to bury Emma while I took mom, Diane and Joan to church. David had the message on the end time series. That was downloaded and made into a video for others. Sorry about the picture, it was after 10:00 pm and I loved the part in the study of Willis eating meat.   
 After church Joan, Sarah, Diane, mom and I went to Culvers with Jeanette, Roma, Nancy, Mark, Cathy and Karl. We enjoyed the meal almost as much as the fellowship. As soon as I dropped everyone off at their houses I drove up to the barn and put Rosaleigh and her colt in the indoor. NOW I'm ready for bed. The house is silent, no more loud snoring from Emma or the padding of her paws following us from room to room.
