More Bookings

 I started laundry before running over to mom's house. When Ruth came I left straight for the Peoria post office to pick up the Berean mail. There was so little mail that we decided to call Berean off for tomorrow. As soon as I got home all of the apartment laundry was taken up and the finishing touches done so the apartment was ready to rent and shockingly it did. The guests are a man and wife and the wife loves horses. They asked if the horses would be out so they were sent a message back of the name and breed of each horse on the property. Right now we just have Valiant, Evan, Sally, Sheena and Rockaway. The rest of the herd is at Middle Grove.  When Mark got home we worked on the back door of the indoor arena. Mark took some bolts off and was able to get the doors shut and locked for the winter.  We have been wanting to get that done as most of our storms come in from the West and with those big doors open the driving rain can reach the hay bales.  I was able to shut them partially by myself but was not ever able to get them close enough to lock so I was very glad Mark figured out how to get that job accomplished.  While working outside another booking came in for a family of 5 who are staying for 2 nights checking in on New Years Eve and leaving Jan 2nd. I sent them a message asking if they needed an airbed but they haven't answered yet. At 1:00 pm the service man for Mediacom arrived to find out why our internet is not working properly.  It was terribly slow and the wifi wasn't working well. It turned out that when Mark signed up for a new package with higher quicker download and upload speeds our modem isn't handling it well. Phil was sent a text and he will order a new modem. After the service man left Sally was taken out and teased and again covered.  She needed to be covered by tomorrow morning as it was yesterday morning for her last cover but tomorrow will be too busy.  Joan and I need to take mom to her doctor to get her signed up for Palliative care now that she has been kicked off Hospice, so we can keep her bed and wheel chair. Ruth stayed with mom and today made an exercise chart for her. We can look at that chart and encourage mom to keep up with her therapy once Ruth goes back to work.  Mom had a good day today.  We had a damp cloudy chilly day but down at Gulf Shores it is sunny and 75 degrees. Everyone there is getting lots of sunshine and keep sending back beautiful beach videos. I think they are trying to make all of us a little jealous. That may be working too.  I made a pot of chili for supper and right now I have the wood burner burning brightly.
