Mark was up at 4:00 am and started the coffee maker at that time so when I got up at 5:00 it was already brewed and hot. The only problem with that is it only stays hot for 2 hours so by 6:00 the coffee maker turned off and we don't eat breakfast until 7:00. First world problems this is! We had a good walk this morning stopping at Mike and Diane's to see the new horseshoe pit. They have one for children and one for adults. The fire pit is also nice but Diane is going to put two brown chairs there instead of the white.
After the walk I drove to Walmart to pick up paper towel holders and more salt and pepper shakers then to Sam's club to pick up 2 big bags of Ice. I also picked up an apple pie but didn't look at the date first. It was dated today as the best day to eat it so that was dropped off at mom's for anyone who would happen to stop in. Joan, Berlica and Mackenson were out working on biology so they were told. Diane was with mom, Mark was there working on mowers, Spark was there checking to see if we could mount anything on the back of mom's van for luggage and Dan arrived with the rim he found at the junk yard. BUT...that didn't fit. Both Joan and Mark told Dan that mom's van rims have 5 holes for the lugnuts. Below is the picture of one the tires and it sure looks like there are only 5 holes.
There are 6 round tables at 8 each, 3 oblong 8 foot tables that have 9 chairs each. A 6 ft table that has 7 chairs and the big table with 12.
When Dan got there, he popped off the hubcap to find there are SIX holes. The joke was on us.
Oh how funny! No wonder Riekers couldn't find a replacement rim. Now we have an extra rim that fits NOTHING around here. Good thing it came from the junkyard and only cost $22.00.
By the time I got home the table cloths had been delivered. Those were taken over to the barn and all the tables got covered. Then the salt, pepper, paper towel roll and centerpieces put on. Below are the tables set up in the garage. The first one will be for cutting up the hog and the one next to that with the roasters on will be for the meat to be served. There are 7 tables set up for eating in that area and each can hold 10 chairs but I'm not sure we will need that much seating so only put 8 on each.
Below is the banquet room. The serving table is 18 feet long (3 six foot tables).
I thought they look nice.
I got home just in time to meet Dr. Hoerr who arrived to do an ultrasound on Ken Ober's mare.
She wasn't happy about that but didn't kick at him. He found that she has not ovulated in the last 2 weeks, there was no CL. She has some smaller follicles and still cycling so hopefully will still come in. We left for church at 6:00 pm as we wanted to stop and make a few maps for church to help with the directions to the barn for the hog roast. Speaking of maps. IF you want to come to the hog roast we would LOVE to have you. We are eating at 5:00 pm but feel free to come early and bring the kids. It will be hot enough to swim, the playground is so much fun, there are canoes and kayaks and bring fishing gear, the lake is stocked. GPS will take you right to our drive. That address is 4713 S Hanna City Glasford Rd. Then when you turn into the drive turn left then take the second right to the barn.
There is plenty of parking around the barn.
