We had to leave for church just before 9:00 am as from now on Peoria church is starting their singing at 9:30 am. We really did have a wonderful day in church. Tim Roecker had the morning message. It was a good message for me. Click HERE if you would like to hear that. Lunch was amazing. Of course any meal that Karen is cooking is always amazing. She and Ralph along with Norv and friends put this meal on. Although I know who some of the friends were, they were cooking a 3 course meal for us on Saturday and needed Mark to get some cooling in the kitchen as it was really heating up. So all of you who did the cooking it really was appreciated today. Craig Stickling had the afternoon message and that one is also one that must be listened to again. Click HERE if you would like to watch that message. We stopped at Aldi after church to pick up a water melon for dinner tonight and a gallon of milk. I also bought Mark some dark chocolate as a special treat as I am leaving him for 2 weeks on Wednesday. Once the water melon was cut up and in the fridge to cool Mark and I went up to the 5th wheel to check out the fridge except there were wasps going in the outside vent of the fridge. Mark went back to get some wasp spray, sprayed it and then lots of wasps were dropping out of that on to the ground and some flying away. Mark left, I grabbed the bedding to wash then went back to get the food moved over to the barn. Braelyn, Taegan and Kensley were already there so they helped with food prep. Below they are shredding the lettuce.
The peppers were cut up last night but the girls cut up the onions and yes they cried doing that then mixed them in with the peppers.
Right about then I noticed the shelves above the desk Phil and Anna installed today.
The picture on the desk was hand drawn by Kathy Obergfel.
I went back to take the vent cover off now that the wasps should be dead but was shocked to find so many of them were still alive and was really shocked at the amount of wasps inside. I took a video but was careful not to get too close. There were still wasps flying around.
Rhoda arrived and took Jury out for a trail ride. When she came back she had Iris and Zeke get on her.
Zeke wasn't too happy when his dad took him off so Iris could ride Jury back to the barn.
We were about half way down the drive when Israel came up so he joined Iris on the trip back to the barn.
Rhoda gave Israel a lesson on Jury in the outdoor arena.
Mark got the grilling of the vegetables done around 4:30 pm just in time for Sunday dinner.
It was interested to see when the kids table was done eating they stayed sitting visiting to each other just like the adult table.
I think they were just so glad to be with each other they had a lot to catch up on, either that or they are growing up. After the meal it was time to celebrate Elisabet's birthday.
After Elisabet opened her gifts the kids went up to the game room but the adults went out to the volley ball court. There was a good group of us older adults enjoying the evening by watching and visiting. The video below is of some of the afternoon and evening.
After everyone left I drove up to the 5th wheel to see if I could knock down the wasp nest but there were more live wasps back on the nest. Evidently they were out hunting when we sprayed it. I emptied the wasp spray can on the nest and again so many dropped. Hopefully by tomorrow morning we can clean it out and see if that is why the fridge stopped working. The sun was setting by the time I finished up.
