Mark was up at 4:30 am but I didn't get up until 5:00 am. It is really dark now at that hour and getting dark earlier than we would like. A sure sign winter is on the way. It was also cold this morning with the temperature in the low 40s. We all needed jackets. Joan could only walk one round as she was having Chelise this morning. Ruth needed to go home early to help process a deer one of the boys got with their bow, Diane had to go to work, and I needed to get back to the house to grab the mail box and my purse before picking up mom and Aunt Jinnie for Berean. We had a very busy morning at the Berean office. Below are a few pictures. At 9:30 am Marvin's phone alarm goes off so we all meet in one room for the prayer and any praises or updates.
Above Marvin's legs are in the picture, he had extra work today, not only did he need to figure out why a Bible came back but had to find out where the prisoner had been transferred to. Leila was the only reader today and was swamped with letters. Below Skip is entering studies but also keeping the printer going while entering.
Below we had a good assembly line stuffing and wrapping Bibles.
Below Skip is getting ready for the mail boxes to go out to the car. We had 2 full boxes today.
Vonnie baked a delicious dessert once we were finished.
It tasted even better than it looked. What a wonderful way to celebrate finishing the processing of the mail.
Below is a short video of our morning made with the new video editing program.
It isn't as good as Vegas Pro but it was free and came with the computer so beggers can't be choosers.
We stopped at the Hanna City post office to drop off the mail and also drop off Aunt Jinnie's vote. She is voting by mail as she will not be back in New Jersey on election day. When I got home I went right to work in the barn as I had 2 brides coming today. All 3 bathrooms were cleaned and the windows were washed in the living area. The first bride is already booked and going to have her wedding here on Saturday. They came to pick out a spot for an outdoor wedding so we can mow the area in advance. They also checked out the tables and chairs, want all the sports equipment and the bouncy house for the wedding. They are having a fun reception and have 5 little nieces and nephews coming that would love the bouncy house.
The second was not the bride but the mother of the bride. When she arrived she asked if Rachel was my daughter. I'd be insulted but Rachel IS 17 years younger than me. She went to school with Rachel. She wants not only the barn but wanted to see the foaling apartment, Diane's cowboy cabin and waterview walkout.
Mark worked the entire day for J & J enterprise. He needed to work on an electrical problem on the motorhome, change a tire on a camper, then when he took off the spare found a big problem and had to run that down to Riekers and buy a brand new tire and even got that balanced. Mackenson helped Mark change the tire. In case you think Mark got paid for his work, nope he not only didn't get paid he bought the replacement tire. Don't worry about him though, he will find a way to collect the money. This morning before he knew he would be working for us (Judy & Joan) he got his tools all laid out to pour another concrete door step.
He decided yesterdays job looked good so he may as well do the last door.
While I was working in the barn Evan was grazing nearby. He sure is pretty.
