So Disgusting
The dessert made yesterday was put in the crock pot and turned on low at 6:00 am. I left for Berean at 8:00 am and brought that with me. It was 20 degrees warmer this morning than yesterday morning as then it was -6 and today 14 degrees. The wind at the Unsicker farm was fierce. The car was backed to the Berean office so I could unload but when I opened the passenger door it flew open then I could hardly push it shut. I was the first there so turned on the heat, the lights and the computers. the monitor on my computer wouldn't open so I left that and started using Skip's computer. Skip arrived a few minutes later with the mail. We were surprised at how much mail there was to open. Shirley, Kathy and Shirl were busy opening the mail, reading the mail and getting the Bible studies ready for computer. We had a visitor today. The new director of Berean Prison Ministry, David Zimmerman stopped in to check out our office and to see what we actually do. Skip welcomed him.
I was the only one working on the computer so not a lot of pictures, below Kathy is applying postage to the letters she was sending out while Shirly, Shirl and Skip get the Bibles going out today were stuffed, labeled and stamped.
We finished around 11:00 am and took a break to try that dessert. It was MUCH better than last night. The gritty texture was now smooth as it had some extra hours cooking in the crock pot. The apples added helped also. I won't make it again but it really wasn't bad plus it was nice to have a warm sugary dessert on such a cold day. The mail was dropped off at the Hanna City post office before going home. Mark wanted some help with the lights in the apartment. We discovered after taking off the shower light fixture that the square one he bought would not work. There was no way to remove the base of the shower light.
The round one was put back up. After he had the ladder and tools out I went to work cleaning the apartment. The guest had used my beautiful thick white bath towels to clean off the floor and her dog. I think she tried to wash them but ended up turning them gray with lots of ground in and now set in stains. Those were taken to the house to soak in bleach water. The master bedroom quilt had been moved to the living room futon and her dog must have been jumping up and down on it and it was torn in 3 different places. That was taken down to the house to mend. The worst was one of the throw blankets was in the basket in the second bedroom all wadded up. I picked it up to fold it and a big chunk of dog manure fell out on the floor. So disgusting! Both throws were taken down to the house to wash. The comforter that goes on the futon was folded up and I wasn't taking any chance that it might be cleaned. That was also hauled down to the house. The rest of the afternoon I mended and did laundry. I am still doing laundry, the last of the sheets are in the washer now and the comforter is in the dryer. Tomorrow the clean laundry will be taken up to the apartment and the beds made. The towels still look dingy so I will need to replace them. On Friday I purchased 3 rotisserie chickens. Two were used for the soup served to the out of town guests, the third was de-boned today and made into chicken salad for our dinner. Soup was also taken out of the freezer and heated up so we had soup and salad for dinner. Mark wants a hair cut tonight but I still have some mending to do. My 2nd best jean skirt (I have 2 jean skirts) has a tear from catching it on one of the bunk beds in the barn and that is the last thing I need to finish before going to bed.
