Ordering Food for Church Lunch

 I didn't sleep well last night, probably because I knew there would be no coffee in the morning. I'm giving up caffeine. Also the phone rang around 1:00 am but no one answered when I said hello. We still are not walking, Diane and Mike won't be home until Thursday evening and Ruth is flying home today but turning around and driving back down helping their son move to Mobile. I went to the farm house early and stripped the beds and gathered up all of the towels and took that to the barn for washing. As long as I was doing laundry I started some at my house and the foaling apartment too. I had 3 machines running and was able to get almost all of that done before Anna arrived to clean the apartment. She figured out how to get the cords off the wall and also repaired a broken outlet along with the cleaning.

We needed new lamps for the end tables and she found exactly what was needed and sent it to me. They are now ordered. The towels from church were washed and I asked Mark to hang them outside when the washer stopped.  I left for GFS to order and pay for the ham, turkey and two kinds of cheese for Sunday lunch. They will have it sliced and ready for me to pick up Friday morning 9:00 am. From there I drove to Schnucks and ordered and paid for 4 dozen fried croissants. The last store was Sam's club where I bought $221.00 worth of the foods and supplies needed. Tomorrow I'll need to order some donuts from Casey's. Everything was taken to the foaling apartment so I could use the fridge and freezer. I bought 6 chickens, those were put in the fridge once they cooled and on Thursday will be deboned and made into chicken salad. Mark will pick up 4 more at Costco when he goes on Wednesday.

Mark didn't remember about the church towels and rags until I was on the way home but got them all outside on the drying rack in the sunshine for at least an hour. They were brought inside at 4:30 pm to finish drying inside.
By the time everything was put away I was pretty tired but still needed to go to the barn to fold one more load of towels and take those to the farm house. That rented for tomorrow. The beds are all made with clean sheets but I still have some cleaning to do there tomorrow morning before leaving for Berean. This evening after supper Mark came with me to the foaling apartment to install the simple hook and eye lock for the pocket doors.
That was an easy fix.
The new television and wall mount for the apartment arrived today. Hopefully Nolan can help get that up.
