Whisky, the outside mare was checked early this morning to see if she was still in. She wasn't and let Evan know with a scream and a kick when he asked. A couple pictures were taken of her neck (more on that below) and she was put back in the field. Below she is at the far end grazing.
I left after our walk for my dentist appointment which had been put off for 3 years. The first year I wasn't able to get the antibiotics needed for the dental work after open heart surgery. The next year and a half was the pandemic problem. Even after 3 years there were no cavities or gum disease. I'm thankful for good teeth. From Dr. Stoller's office in Pekin I drove to the Peoria post office to pick up the Berean mail. I had a call in to Hoerr vet for an antihistamine shot for the outside mare. On Sunday she came up with what looked like hives. This morning they were much better. Her owner was sent a picture both last night and this morning and she decided she wanted me to have it ready in case it happens again. After picking up the Berean mail I drove out to Morton, IL to pick up the shot from Hoerr vet clinic.
Above is Terry who is working on billing and below is Emma who is handing me the shot for Whiskey.
I had just gotten home when Joan arrived to tell me the license plate was missing from the Keystone trailer which had come back from a 2 week vacation for a family of 8 and was leaving today with another family. I had to drive to the bank, get the title out of the safety deposit box but the dmv is closed on Monday. The renter for the Keystone understood and we gave him a temporary plate for his trip. Hopefully I can get a new plate tomorrow. Poor Joan, the family of 8 did quite a lot of damage on the Keystone. Besides losing the license plate, the worst was they broke a valve for the toilet plus stuffed paper towel in the sewage tank through the toilet. I think they had fun seeing what they could flush down. The 6 children were left in the back of the trailer unsupervised while the parents rode in the truck. They also broke a red ink pen and got red ink on the cushions of the dinette. Later their 2 year old got locked in the trailer so they sent another child up through the storage which can be accessed from under the bunk but when the older child climbed up, he broke the bunk. The outside shower door lock was broken. Joan had to find the valve, buy lumber, buy washers, find a lock and was able to get everything done before the next people arrived. It really was a miracle. She was able to get the red ink out of the cushion. The first place she stopped for the toilet valve (this is hard to find and takes weeks to arrive when ordered on line) they first said they were out then found 1. The lumber and washers were easy to find but the lock set was too large, luckily she found exactly what she needed in her garage for that. They were supposed to arrive at 10:45 am but thankfully got delayed and she had everything done by 11:15 am. Mark came home late from work. After supper we went out to the construction site to see the progress on the barn. They had started on the roof and got about a 4th of it covered.
Mark worked on cleaning up any garbage.
Below he is heading home to get on his swimming suit for his evening swim in the lake.
I walked over to visit with mom. Diane, Ruth and Joan came over for games and we visited and played until after 8:00 pm. I still needed to tease Jewel and got that done before dark. She was still in and covered by Evan at dusk. It was much cooler at that time making it easier to get the job done. The paddocks were checked, they have enough hay for tonight and probably for tomorrow but by evening I will need to move in bales.
