Lots of problems today and only one of them was able to be solved. The others, we at 9:00pm, are still working on. Ruth and I walked this morning. Joan had co-op and Diane is flying home from Gulf Shores today. The tiny white flowers on these bushes have a very sweet smell. These bushes are all over our area.
I left right after breakfast for Sam's club to buy a 50 pound bag of popcorn, some popcorn salt and the bags we need to pass out the popcorn. Only to find they don't have it in stock anymore. I was still glad I went as the meat I'm going to serve at family night was on sale and I bought what was needed saving at least $30.00. From there I drove to GFS and they had exactly what was needed. That was our easy problem to solve today. The next one wasn't terrible but we did not get it fixed today. We were going to move the last two campers over to Joan's house. I backed the truck up to the first one but the electric jack would not work. I thought the battery was probably dead but got mom's charger and hooked that up but nope it wasn't the battery. The jack itself is not working.
Mark decide to leave it for today and work on that tomorrow.
Because this camper is right in from of the other one we couldn't move either of them. Instead Mark helped me get the popcorn machine out of the foaling apartment and into his Tesla. I also packed a folding table, 2 chairs, the popcorn, oil, salt, bags and all the other supplies needed plus made two signs for free popcorn. Ruth rented a motel room for tonight that she was not able to use but since it was non refundable she needed to drive there, check in and get the key. She gave the key to Sarah's family. I was with mom when the foaling apartment booked. Mark came and stayed with mom while I ran over to clean up any mess we made while taking out the popcorn machine. After Ruth got back the two mares with foals were brought inside, grained and each foal got haltered, tied, and hooves picked up. We left around 6:30 pm, drove in to Bartonville to the new Wendy's to use the gift card for our supper. We both bought cobb salads. Gils has a much bigger cobb salad that we can split and that tastes so much better with actually more food for less money. We still have $10.99 left on the gift card. When we got back the 3rd problem arrived. Our guests were trying to lock the foaling apartment door and it would not lock. We worked on that and even found the instructions from when we bought it but nothing worked. Mark finally went over to the barn, took the lock off the master bedroom there and brought it back only to find the handles had been switched. I finally just took our guests over to the barn. They were VERY happy to move over there. They agreed to move out by 11:00 am as that is when Jack's birthday party starts. By now it is almost 10:00 pm. I'm leaving early for the home school resource in Goodfield tomorrow so Mark get's to fix those last 2 problems by himself. He has been watching youtube videos and thinks he has figured out the door lock. Unfortunately he will need to take the electric jack apart to figure out why that isn't working.
