It was above freezing this morning THANKFULLY! No frozen waterers to worry about. I headed over to mom's first then after the walk took the golf cart over to Joan's to get the turkey. After the walk the two stallions and all of the weanlings were de-wormed with Quest plus. Valiant was mad about the taste. I gave him some grain in his bucket but he kept grabbing a bite then trying to spit it out because of the taste of the wormer. He would run over to the other gate and glare.
I was really pleased with the weanlings, each was haltered outside the fence and the de-wormer given. None of them fought it. Such good babies. They were glad for the grain after.
Today was Maria Graham's visitation and funeral and Joan and I drove together for that. Maria had quite a life and even wrote a book. Her daughter Maria has been taking care of her and will really miss her. It was only a few weeks ago when they came here to visit mom after mom got out of the hospital. After dropping Joan off I drove to Sam's to pick up a few last minute items along with a few things for Rhoda. My next stop was Walmart as Aunt Jinnie needed fresh cranberries and lemon jello to make the cranberry salad for the Thanksgiving meal. When I got back home Mark was already here hard at work splitting wood with Mackenson.
He and Mackenson filled the trailer then hooked the trailer up to the skid steer and took it over to Joan's for Gabe.
While Mark was taking the trailer over Mackenson was cleaning up the yard.
We sure are thankful for his help.
Our wood shed is full to the brim and we even have a pile outside which will need to be tarped.
I spent most of the day inside baking and cooking. The pumpkin pies were baked first then as soon as they were done the sweet potatoes were put in. The chocolate pies were made next and once those were in the fridge the stuffing started. The turkey will be stuffed tomorrow morning then roasted while we are at church. After supper the kitchen was cleaned up and a load of laundry started. Now I'm ready to rest. Funny how we spend 2 days of cooking for this one meal and that meal will be eaten in about 20 minutes. Ruth and Karin practiced with mom and stairs today to see if she would be able to go up the 3 stairs at Rachel's house for their annual putting up the manger scene Christmas party. Joan is hosting Thanksgiving tomorrow and she has a ramp going down to her basement where we will be eating so tomorrow won't be a problem. A very nice update came from the lady that bought Soul's colt by Evan 3 years ago. She writes: I'm so proud of Gideon Thor!!! He was a saint in his first parade! There were veteran parade horses showing themselves and he was perfect!!!!
IF anyone wants his FULL sibling Soul's 2021 filly by Evan is still available ONLY she will be white instead of black when older. She looks black now but is going to gray slowly but by the time she is in her teens should be pure white! Can you imagine how beautiful she will end up?
