Cleaning Day

 Today was the day to finish cleaning and post the farm house on airbnb. I started work around 6:30 am going first to pick up the hand held battery vacuum to finish the camper going out today but the battery was dead. I took the battery from the air compressor and went over to Joan's to get that camper finished and from there up to the foaling apartment to get that ready for the guests coming in today. As soon as the foaling apartment was finished. I went to work on the stalls, first filling two water buckets and bringing a a wheelbarrow load of hay in. Once the grain was put in the bucket Tessa and her filly were just led across the hall into the clean stall. They are stuck inside all day today, tomorrow and then Monday I can take them to the vet for a bandage change. I was finished with those chores by 8:15 am and went home to make breakfast for Mark and I. After breakfast Spark and Elijah came to work on the plumbing, digging holes by hand and machine close to the house to find the leak but there was no wet ground there at all and no leaks. The leak is between mom's house and Spark's house. The man renting the camper arrived a few minutes after 9:00 am. This is his second time renting and was thrilled he ended up with the same one as the last time he rented. When he pulled away I went to the house to get the cleaning supplies and off I went to finish the Farm House and I did. It is now posted on airbnb. Some of the pictures will be updated. The patio is going to have ONE table and a few chairs, right now it has 2 tables and 1 chair. 

Above is the front of the house and below is the back of the house.

Nice LARGE grass yards. 

The door to the kitchen takes you right into the laundry area and then into the kitchen.

When you turn around you can see the bathroom door to the left and the laundry room door to the right which also has the door to go outside.

The bathroom has a jetted tub and a walk in shower.

Next to the bathroom is the downstairs bedroom

Through the kitchen is the dining room.

There are pocket doors between the rec room and the dining room. When we had the family eating Sunday dinners here we would have the kids in the rec room and shut those doors to keep the noise down so we could visit.

Those are cowboy boots on those shelves.

Looking the other direction is the living room.

The stairs are behind the black rocker recliner.

At the top of the stairs if you turn left you enter the horse bedroom.

If you turn right it is the other bedroom.

 At the end of the hall is the upstairs bathroom.

That bathroom has a walk in shower.

I finished after 3 pm but needed to go take care of Tessa and her filly before heading home. I was walking home with a laundry basket full of supplies when I saw Taunya and her 3 boys. They came to swim this afternoon but were just leaving so I only got to visit a bit with them. Sarah's family and David's family are camping, Anna and Braelyn were at a cross fit competition. We decided on hamburgers for Sunday supper so drove to Bartonville for groceries but stopped first at the diner. It was almost 5:00 pm and I had skipped lunch to finish. I ordered liver and onions and it was delicious.

Mark ordered a chef salad but it is called something else. That came with beef vegetable soup which he ate before his salad arrived. Since he doesn't like tomato or hard boiled egg, he put those on my plate.

After supper we went to Aldi which is just down the road from the diner and bought the ingredients for Sunday Supper.  I'm trying a new topping for the hamburgers Lee might like. It is a jalapeno cream cheese spread. In case he doesn't want to try it we also picked up pepper jack cheese. 4 pounds of bacon, potato salad, chips, salad stuff a watermelon and 2 containers of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. This evening I needed to move Tessa and the filly back into the cleaned stall. Before doing that though I went out back to see if any of those clouds might have some rain in them. I thought maybe they might but after moving the horses and finishing the stalls I went back out and what looked like rain had gone a different direction. The video below shows before the stalls and then after the stalls. There were fireflies flashing in the field. The camera didn't pick up the far ones but it did some of the close ones.
