It was hard to get moving this morning. I had a grapes, a gallon of cow milk that was turning, the pint of buttermilk and a half of a gallon of fresh cow milk from Rebekah to drop off at Joan's so when I got to the dumpster Diane jumped on the golf cart and we drove over to Joan's. I told Joan the milk is turning and she was going to make cottage cheese with it. Berlica saw us coming and exclaimed, "what kind of walk is THAT?" as after the milk and grapes were dropped off all 3 of us got on the golf cart and drove off. The golf cart was parked at the dumpster and we started walking. Joan then got a text from Berlica, "Don't tell Judy but that milk is sower (sour)." She didn't want to hurt my feelings. We laughed! I can just imagine her pouring a big glass of milk, taking a gulp then spitting it out quickly. Hope she was by the sink. We all quit after one round as today is Berean day. I loaded the van up with the dessert and mail tubs then went in to see if mom was ready. We pulled out by 8:16 am and when we arrived there was already a good crew working. Below are a few pictures of our morning.

Fixing Fences
Everyone knows what needs to be done and gets the work done efficiently.
Joan N stopped in to pick up Bible studies for grading. We had two full tubs going out in today's mail filled with Bibles and studies.
Joan has been doing the advanced study Marvin finished. This way she can tell him what needs to be changed. Today's suggestion was to leave a little more room for the answers as she ran out of space. Below she is taking the next 4 in the series.
Below is a short video of some of our morning.
After enjoying our blueberry dessert and finishing up Sharon's home baked cinnamon rolls mom and I left. We stopped at the Hanna City post office to drop off the mail then needed to fill the wheel chair van with gas as it was almost empty. That took 20 gallons.
When I got home Mark needed my help on Evan's paddock. He wanted to replace the old boards that were warped. Below he is taking the new boards to replace the old.
Evan came over to check out his work.
Below Mark is removing the old nails and screws so he can remove the old boards.
I needed to get 2 of the full size memory foam mattresses and one twin size out of the barn for the motorhome. Thankfully Mackenson arrived then to help.
When I got to the barn I noticed 3 boxes up against the gym wall. I thought it might be the 3 showers for the bathrooms but I was wrong. They are the 3 new windows.
The mattresses were taken to the motorhome. One fit in the shower easily. The broom and the ladder fit in the shower too.
The other full size was put up on the bunk above the driver. I had to take the small tv out and just set that on top. Philip will do something with that.
The twin size was put in an outdoor storage.
The mattresses are needed for the girls that will be tenting.
Mark and Mackenson finished the fence when I finished with the mattresses.
The new boards are very secure and I'm thankful they are fixed. Evan doesn't try to escape but if we put Valiant in there to give him pasture time I wouldn't have trusted the old boards. For dinner tonight I tried another pork chop recipe but decided the best way to cook pork chops is grilling them with bbq sauce. Can't beat that flavor.
