Camper Business

 I stopped at the apartment before heading over to the walk to turn on the lights and the airconditioner for the people coming today. The apartment had been cleaned and ready for guests so there was no need to do anything else. Diane had arrived and was walking over to mom's with her eggs from Tina. Tina left them at church for us to pick up on Wednesday night after church.  Mom had a bad night last night so on our walk we decided we must call the doctor and see if the doctor would prescribe an antibiotic. Mom has a chest infection and is coughing really bad. On the walk we noticed Berlica's cat AND her 3 kittens were in the woods by mom's house. Ruth picked up the mama cat and Diane picked up one of the kittens to put in the car but the other 2 kittens took off and were afraid to come close. Ruth let the cats out of her car, drove to Joan's and brought back cat food to feed them. They were hungry.

The mama cat was not hungry or was just waiting for the kittens to finish she just laid down and stared at them as they were eating.

 Mark has been feeding the cats over at Joan's house each morning but hasn't seen any. Each morning though all the cat food is gone. Starting now he'd better start leaving food in both places.
After the walk Ruth went straight to mom's and stayed until she was able to talk to the doctor. They could not get her in for an appointment but were willing to prescribe the meds so Ruth drove to Kroger to pick them up. Hopefully this will help. I had to meet the first people coming for a camper at 9:00 am at Joan's I snapped a picture of those flowers on her hibiscus plant as they are so beautiful right now. 
The man that picked up the camper told me it was his 5th time of renting from Joan and that made it really easy for the walk through. He already knew it all. I stopped at the lake on the way home as Anna and her girls along with Sarah and her girls were all over swimming.


I stayed and visited a bit before heading home for some lunch. Mark had been mowing but left the mower at the barn and went inside to have lunch too.
I got a message from the next person picking up a camper in twenty minutes so went to Joan's to turn the fridge and air on and grab the paper work only to realize this person had the wrong name for the camper going out. It turned out he was taking the minimax I quickly went back turned the air on in that camper then sent him a text with the directions. I couldn't find the keys so brought out the second set. When I was showing him how everything worked I found the first set of keys in the camper. They had been put away in one of the cubbies. The camper was hooked up and that man left within an hour sent back a text with a picture showing a melted connection on the power cord. As we do not have any spares we offered to trade him the motorhome for his trip. He is just traveling to Shelbyville for 2 nights. The motorhome was pulled out and hooked up to electricity so the slide would come out.

He returned the MiniMax and was very glad to take the motorhome. Mark is going to order the parts to fix the Minimax and if he can't will haul it down to TriCounty RV tomorrow. Mike arrived about then to help tease mares. We were in the process of teasing Bulu when the apartment guests pulled in, that spooked Bulu and she took off pulling the lead rope from Mike. They stopped their car while he got her. At least she didn't run far. She was still in and covered by Valiant. The next mare to be teased was Jewel and she was also still in and she was covered by Evan.  At 5:15 pm I went back to Joan's to meet the people taking the last camper. They were a half hour late but were also repeat renters so it wasn't too hard to show them everything. While I was at Joan's Mark started the water boiling for the corn. We were going to give this batch of corn to Taunya but when she didn't arrive yesterday Mark decided he wanted it for tonight's supper. This corn was picked on Tuesday morning and was just as delicious as the corn we ate on Tuesday.A BIG thankyou to Marvin and Sharon. We thoroughly enjoyed that fresh picked sweet corn. The camper business kept me really busy today but in the end everyone was happy with what they got.
