Sunday April 21st, 2024

 A beautiful cold morning for our Sunday. Our guests from the apartment, motorhome and camper all got up and drove to the barn where coffee and donuts were served. The bride sent the messages below: Everything was perfect! Thank you so much for your hospitality. The place is absolutely beautiful. Then she posted a 5 star review on Airbnb:  We hosted our weekend wedding at Judith’s family Barndominium and oh my goodness it was amazing. There were plenty of sleeping arrangements and Judith offers many other lodging on the same family owned farm. It couldn’t have been more amazing. Judith was very responsive and had everything we had forgotten to get. Would absolutely recommend this place whether you’re looking for a family reunion location, wedding, or just want to rent one of her smaller more secluded properties. Thank you again for your hospitality. Privately she wrote:  Everything was absolutely amazing. Thank you again for being so accommodating. Thank you We picked up Mackenson and Berlica for church as Joan was at a retreat. She actually had to leave that retreat yesterday to speak in Morton at College weekend then went back to the retreat. She is now on her way to Gulf Shores taking Kristin, Mackenson and Berlica with her. Gregg Rumbold had the morning message Click HERE to watch that. David had the afternoon message. Click HERE to watch that.  We had ACYF here and before afternoon church that Bible class (all high schoolers) sang 3 songs for us before the message started. 

After church we met Kathy, the mother of Rachel, the Rachel who will be coming here in June with her family to stay at the foaling apartment. They are also going to use the barn for a birthday party. Rhoda and Sarah were here cleaning the barn after the wedding. I got the laundry started at the apartment but tomorrow Phil and Anna's girls are going to clean it. Mike and Diane went to Middle Grove with the stock trailer and picked up Mika, Sally, Dancer and Blueberry.  All 4 were put at the cabin field. At 4:30 pm the family all arrived for dinner and a birthday party. Today we were celebrating Addyson, Abe and River's birthdays. Addyson turned 15 today and will soon get her permit.

The kids brought pizza and salad for our supper and of course we had cake and ice cream for dessert.

After dinner came the party.

The weather was cool but volley ball was played outside today. The kids had fun jumping on the trampolines and playing on the playground.

Lucy was happy being outside.

Mike brought Blueberry over with his 4 wheeler. 

We took a few pictures to update the website.

She is such a huge mare. She will be teased tomorrow morning. Dancer was brought over next. She was teased but was not in.

There is still no sign of Rosalie or Rosaleigh coming into season. Irish will be teased tomorrow and if still in will be covered by Valiant. 

Lee took Nancy home this evening. We really appreciate that as it saves us a 50 mile round trip and is just a couple miles out of their way.
