A Special TAG

 I left a little early for the walk so I could check out the progress on the barn. Philip had installed vents and lights to get ready for the insulation which is scheduled for the week before Christmas.  It really is getting done.

After the walk the weanlings were fed.

They were videoed so the size difference could be seen between the two. The taller filly is Valerie who is a month older than Tessa. Valerie's dam is Lily and Lily always has VERY tall impressive foals.

 At 10:00 am I went to mom's to load Aunt Jinnie's suitcase into the car. She was flying out around 11:00 am.  IT was SO hard for mom to say good bye and this was a very emotional for both of these sisters.  From the airport I left for Sam's club to pick up a chicken pot pie for supper at mom's tonight. I usually buy some fruit but was shocked at the price of the strawberries. 

I was hoping to buy some cheaper beef for the soup but all of it was just too expensive so no soup making today. When I got home instead of making soup the house was cleaned and the laundry done while listening to AC Central. I listened to two different sermons by two different ministers. These were picked randomly from years ago and both were excellent speaking truth and both sermons ended up speaking on the same thing, how much a father loves his son from king David with his son Absalom to our Heavenly Father who would love us so much He came here to save us from separation and sin.  David spoke in Champaign Wednesday evening. He was given this subject: “Knowledge of God through Jesus”. 

At 4:00 pm the chicken pot pie was done so I went over to mom's to drop it off and stayed there until after 5:00 pm. Joan and I left for TAG which was being held at church at 6:00 pm. That was really nice.  We made gift baskets first then had a nice meal.

The food was truly delicious.

Below is a video of some of the evening.

It was well attending and a fun project. A special thanks to Deb, Jackie, Heather, Mindy, Diane, and Stephanie for putting this on. It was nice that TAG was moved to the evening so many of us that can't come in the day could come tonight. We really enjoyed the evening.
