I awoke and knew the fever had broken and was able to drink my first cup of coffee in 6 days. This morning the car was taken up to feed the weanlings, the golf cart had a flat. From there I went straight to the barn. There are guests coming in from Summit Church at 9:00 am tomorrow and I had not cleaned the barn since before going to Gulf Shores. The welcome barn sign had been pulled off the wall by that Spartan solar guy that left without paying the bill. When I picked it up to hang it, dropped it and it broke in 6 pieces. I thought of repairing it but too many little broken pieces so just threw it away. The picture below only shows the 2 larger pieces, the wooden frame part and the windmill attachments are not pictured.
That guy also left these drinks in the fridge.
Maybe he decided he shouldn't have to pay because of leaving all of those expensive drinks. Fedi was the only one in the family that would admit to drinking them and even then he said maybe 1 every few weeks. He came and got them tonight. I got the kitchen swept then went into the gym to search for ladybugs and organize the sports toys. Those really needed organizing. 
Sarah told me she needed to take her kids home early on Sunday but would come back to help clean up on Monday. I was pretty sure the adults sent the kids in to clean up their mess then didn't check their job. Maybe I need to post pictures on the wall how we like to keep things organized. Volley balls go in the blue carrier, the dodge balls go in the first rack. The bases and whiffle ball bats go between the volleyball and dodge balls with the whiffle balls on the first shelf (there is a rack the bats go in attached to the dodgeball rack. The footballs go on the 2nd shelf of the dodgeball rack. The second rack holds the basket balls and the roller blades. On the side of that rack are where the 8 pickleball paddles hang and the pickleballs.
I have one repair I'll need to make in the morning and that is take a hammer and a few nails and nail down the stair threshold.
This afternoon Dreamer was de-wormed with a half of tube of Quest Plus. She was so good, she came right to the gate. I had asked Mike to put a halter on her earlier just in case she tries to back away as I'm still pretty weak. She was tied and didn't fight that or the de-wormer at all. When I drove back up to see about moving a bale in all of the weanlings were laying down except Dreamer.
Mark came up to help move the bale in. Mike came over to work with Roseberry. She was walking quietly up and down our stairs.
It is good for the weanlings to learn how to navigate steps incase they ended up with an owner like me. When I was young and mom was gone we walked Blaze up our stairs and into the house at Pleasant Home. We thought it was cool to ride Blaze into kitchen hall door, going through the kitchen, going through the hallway, then the study, the living room, through the dining room and into the playroom and back to the kitchen. We could all take turns riding that loop. For some reason mom didn't really like us doing that. I'm still coughing and can't really talk so didn't go to church tonight. Gregg Rumbold had the message on Colossians 4 tonight to watch that click HERE. He told an unbelievable story of I think it was Heather's uncle that this happened to. They stopped at a fast food restaurant, ordered food and a hot cup of coffee. Bent his head to pray and was aware of someone watching him. He had the prayer and when he raised his head the man watching him pray immediately used his own cup of hot coffee and threw it into his face. Talk about being persecuted for your faith. What an awful thing to do to someone and what a terrible thing to happen to him.
I'm thankful to be feeling better but sure hope this cough leaves soon and it would be nice to be able to talk again. Sheesh I should be glad the fever's gone and I can walk without fainting. Will I ever stop complaining!
