Peoria Has 2 New Ministers
We had such an easy morning we almost left a little late for church. We had a special day in Peoria, today we had the new minister installation ceremony in the afternoon. For morning message the elder from Goodfield, Jeff Wiegand. Click HERE to watch that. After lunch was the special ceremony and that was so touching. Click HERE to watch that. We stopped at Aldi for ice cream as I had no dessert planned for Sunday dinner. That turned out very well and there was plenty. After dinner Lilly brought in one of the kittens to try to encourage her parents to let her have one.
They still said no. We all left then to work with the new foals. Rosaleigh's foal is now 12 days old and had not yet had a halter on him, nor had he been tied. They were taken into the stall, Rosaleigh given grain and the colt given a lesson. He fought the rope a little bit but when the girls came in, to give him attention he settled right down.
He actually enjoyed the attention.
Star's filly was also given a tying lesson. She is just 1 week old today.
She was a little harder to handle as Star is being more protective. We ended up tying Star and Mike actually picked the filly up. She was very calm while he was holding her.
She was not so calm being tied but finally settled down.
Before putting the horses away we teased. Rosaleigh is just going out, but stood for Valiant so was covered. It took a while for her to show and she did not show much but hopefully we caught her. Star was not in at all, she pinned her ears at both stallions. While we were teasing Sarah took Cookie to the round pen and gave pony rides to the grand children.
Some of these pictures were taken by Sarah as Mark and I took Nancy home to Morton, IL. We didn't get home from there until after 8:00 pm, drove straight to the barn to dump garbage and bring home any left over food from Supper. Anna had all of the dishes done and I'm not sure who cleaned the rest but we just emptied all of the garbage containers and Mark hauled that over to the dumpster. When I got back to the house I needed to do all of the cooking dishes, pots and pans from making supper. I really was tempted to leave that until tomorrow. Grandpa Meister used to tell us, "Never put off until tomorrow what should be done today." He was right in so many of his sayings. Now I'm very thankful it is done and I'm not facing it tomorrow.
