The guests at the foaling apartment pulled out around 8:00 am. I ran up to strip the beds and get the sheets in the washer. Anna and Braelyn arrived right after that and took over cleaning. The guests in the new barn were busy and had the wedding arch and chairs out early so I took the golf cart down to take a few pictures. It was beautifully decorated.
The hipcampers were not yet gone for the day. They are here for the Spoon River Drive and will be staying until Sunday afternoon to get as much shopping possible this last weekend of the drive.
I was over at mom's to get ready for our big trip to Middle Grove. It took a while to get everything loaded but we were on our way by 9:40 am and unfortunately hit the Spoon River traffic. It took us 45 minutes to get to Middle Grove. Diane, Mike, Ruth, Fedi, Matt and Dexter were already there waiting for us. Joan pulled up with the motorhome not too much after. She had the sailboat pole with her so Ruth was first to go sailing.
When she got back Mike took us on a jeep ride to find the horses. We heard the legend of the lost mower. The man who started mowing the Middle Grove land and never came back. Well we FOUND him, or what was left of him. You will need to check out the video below to learn this story...OR just keep scrolling down.
Joan made a big taco salad for our lunch. Besides the jeep ride, we sailed, took a pontoon boat ride fished then cooked supper over the fire.
We heard the story of the man that went missing 12 years ago while mowing the property and then we FOUND him.
Below is the Middle Grove Guard, fully armed and ready.
He was getting ready to go out hunting but we decided he looked better as a guard.
The sailing was fun. Ruth and her dog went a couple times. Diane went, Joan took Berlica once and Lesley another time.

Mom, Aunt Jinnie and I packed up to head home after supper. After unpacking and getting back to my house Mark and I had one job to do before the sun went down and that was to take apart the wedding arch for the bride and groom. The sun set just as we finished that job.
A beautiful ending to a beautiful day.
