Exhausted
Today was not a day of rest and by the end of the day I am more than ready to crash. I made breakfast early then Mark left to pick up Israel and I left for Sam's club to pick up food for Sunday dinner. He got home before I did but not by that much. I made it to Sam's by 8:15, was done shopping and drove to Aldi in Bartonville by 9:00 am and made it home by 9:18 am. Mark hired Mackenson and Israel to work the log splitter. After putting the groceries away I went straight to the foaling apartment to start moving out furniture. Today Rhoda was bring a king size bed for the master bedroom and Sarah was going to take the sectional couch to her house. Sarah arrived early and right about then Mark brought Mackenson and Israel over to help. That couch is REALLY heavy.
When Rhoda arrived with the truck, she was frazzled. The mattress was kind of blowing around even though it was tied down with dog leashes and to top it all off Zeke opened the truck door on the interstate. She was very glad she made it here safely. Nolan arrived right then so we had plenty of help unloading and installing. The queen bed was moved into the second bedroom, the king bed was set up in the master. Once everything was done and cleaned up Sarah got some pictures so I could update the airbnb ad.
Above and below are the second bedroom, the one that use to have the couch in it.
Above and below are pictures of the master bedroom which now has the king headboard has usb ports on either side for phones.
Below is the kitchen/living area with the futon as a couch. I have ordered a 55 inch Roku TV for the wall and that will be delivered on Sept 29th.
The sectional couch was loaded into the 2 horse trailer. Mark, Mackenson, Israel, Rhoda and Nolan drove the 4 miles to Sarah and Nolan's house and unloaded that into their basement. Rhoda said it matched perfectly. By 1:30 pm we were finished and hungry. We drove to the Warehouse in Hanna City for a late lunch. Mark and I split a tenderloin which was the special of the day.
When I told the waitress we were going to split it she gave us two buns. Rhoda ordered a salad, Machenson ordered a chicken sandwich and fries and Israel ordered a bacon cheese burger with fries. We ATE every bite. No one needed a box for leftovers, there weren't any. From the Warehouse I took Israel home and when I got back parked the truck and trailer. Right about then the new guests for the apartment arrived. They walked in, came right back out and asked if I would mind them using the futon for a bed. I just had to laugh! I went home to get clean sheets just as Berlica drove up with a golf cart and I asked her to go with me to make up the futon into a bed. There are just 3 young men, workers maybe in their 30s, staying but they each wanted their own bed. From there I went to the barn to start on the laundry there and clean bathrooms. There were 4 loads of sheets and just 2 loads of towels. The last load of towels was put in the dryer and started but by this time it was 6:30 pm so tomorrow I will fold those towels. Joan is hosting a casting party at the barn tonight.
Those in Gulf Shores are having wonderful weather. Ruth sent the picture below of Riley and Blair on the beach this evening.
Check out the picture below Rachel shared with the family of the full moon over the water.
