Another Great Grandson

It was so cold this morning there was frost on the car window. 

Our first frost of the season. I was over at the barn by 7:00 am and finished the sweeping by 8:30 am, went home and started breakfast. Today Mark wanted an omelet. Bill, our neighbor had a lot of small pullet eggs. The omelet below includes 6 of them. 
When it was finished cooking I divided into thirds. Below is Mark's portion.
Mine was about the same and the last third was put in the fridge for tomorrow. Mark brought over the camper table we needed to recover. We were shocked at how easily the top came off. The builders sure used cheap material.
Mark took the windows and door off of the garage today and ordered a new door. The old one was just not able to be fixed, it was rotten all the way through. The windows were made ordered and we got the word they were finished today.
I went back to the barn to finish the mopping of all the floors. About then all the lumber and the tresses for Mike's new barn were delivered. 
They believe the barn will be up in 2 weeks. The floors were finished by noon. Then came the driving. I drove the motorhome while Mark followed me in my car to drop the motorhome off at the repair shop down on Route 29 for an estimate. From there Mark was dropped off at Moose Therapy for his therapy appointment. I drove straight to the Berean office to drop of the mail tubs and the rest of the Bibles. Skip was there working and helped unload. I stopped at Sam's club next and bought the food for Sunday's meal. I decided to make meat loaf as we haven't had that for a few years. Mark wasn't quite done with therapy by the time I got back so had to wait a bit for him. While waiting in the car the barn booked for Nov 8th. This is for U of I women's frisbee team. They were really happy that they don't have to check out until 1:00 pm on Sunday. We drove straight to Aldi for the food for Sunday dinner that I didn't want to purchase at Sam's club, like cheddar cheese. We sure don't need 5 pounds of that for the recipe I'm making. From there we stopped at Kroger to buy some knox gelatin. Finger jello is also on the menu. Our last stop was Bartonville hardware. Mark needed to pick up the now finished windows and 2 bags of concrete mix.  We made it home about 3:20 pm, unhooked the horse trailer and took the truck over to Joan's to pick up the camper going out tonight. That was taken to the new barn as that has outdoor lighting and the camper was going to be picked up after dark. On the way over Kari and Tarah's boys were playing at the playground while Noel and Caroline were enjoying the sunshine. 
Five month old Caroline showed us how she can wave. 
Mark helped get the camper hooked up and I drove it over to the barn.
We left at 4:30 pm for Farmington school to watch Taegan play in a basketball game. She is quite the star of the team. She got the jump to her team mate to start the game got the first rebound then the first 2 points. Don't believe me? Check out the video below.

She made 5 out of 6 free throws.
She is also a fantastic defender blocking shots.

This girl has talent. Now for the big news of the day. Mom has another great grandson. He was born this afternoon and we are all rejoicing. More on that once the parents announce and post pictures.
