Braelyn lost her clear thin line retainer at the barn yesterday so as soon as it was light enough to see I took the golf cart over to look. I could not find them in the barn so went to the dumpster but on the way stopped to try to get a picture of the sky. Just as I was trying to get a shot through the trees David sent one I'm sure he took on his way to work. The sky was gorgeous!
We only threw away one bag of garbage last night so that one bag was taken out of the dumpster and brought into our house. A new bag was placed next to it and I went through the full bag piece by piece but the retainer was not in the bag. I needed to leave before 8:00 am this morning. I drove to the Peoria airport, arrived at 8:15 am and already there were 5 people waiting in line. I needed to buy a ticket from Gulf Shores to Bellevue, Illinois for Feb 16th and cancel the ticket for Feb 13th as Ruth can't get to Gulf Shores until the 16th. The airport is pretty deserted at 8:15 am.
Today I only had to wait an hour and was able to purchase the ticket for $92.50. To get a refund there is a $25.00 charge and I paid less than $25.00 for the ticket on the 13th so no refund on that but it had to be done. When I got home I went straight to the barn to get that cleaned and organized for the birthday party group coming in tomorrow morning. I was putting away paper plates when I remembered what happened last night. We had run out of the bigger paper plates that were on the table just as Matt and Anni were going through the line. Someone found those cheap paper plates and gave those to them. I saw what was happening, grabbed more of the bigger plates, took those white ones from Matt and Anni and told them, "you are our guests, we give you the GOOD paper plates!
We all had to laugh. Mark was busy this morning putting up signs. We now have a sign on the coat closet.
Below is a closeup of the sign.
This closet can hold a LOT of coats!
He also put up the last sign upstairs about the emergency ladder being stored under the bed. It was warmer this afternoon but when the sun went down it just plain got cold in the house. The wood burner was started and I am now enjoying reading a book in front of the heat that burning wood is putting out.
The good news is Braelyn found her retainer.
