Berlica came over and told us it was the plug last time it didn't work. I unplugged the cat's heated water bowl and plugged the awning in that outlet and it worked. As Rachel was there I left for my house. The ladies had already arrived at the barn to decorate for the rehearsal dinner that will be tomorrow evening. Sarah dropped off Israel here so Mark and Israel were working on taking the snow tires off on both my car and his black car and replacing them with our summer tires. They were working in the back garage.  I had the corned beef simmering on the stove and wanted to finish that meal so didn't go back to see their progress.  At 2:45 am mom was ready to come back inside and after getting her settled in her chair finished the brisket. When I got back to the house Israel was checking the tire pressure on all of the tires on Mark's car.

Mark told me later Israel could pretty much change the tires and check the air without any help from him. He just supervised.

When he finished with Mark's car he went with me up to feed the stallions and the weanlings.

As we are now both in our 70s it is so nice to have grandchildren help.

As soon as we got back to the house Mark was ready to take him home but first stopped to pick up Elisabet from Sarah's house. By the time Mark got home the Irish dinner (just 2 days late) was finished and ready for us to eat.

That turned out delicious plus we now have left over corned beet for Rueben sandwiches tomorrow. I only have to go buy a jar of sauerkraut from Aldi. I took some potatoes, carrots and cabbage over to mom's house to go with the brisket. Ruth said it was delicious. 

Mark named his new car Fred and every once in a while I get a text from Fred telling me something Mark left undone. This evening Fred sent a text that the trunk was not shut. Yesterday Fred sent a text that the doors were unlocked. I think Fred enjoys telling on Mark. VRBO allowed us to book another condo in the same complex and have promised to reimburse us for the extra. We got a notice that the reimbursement is on the way. The cancellation turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The new one is much nicer. We leave for Gulf Shores on March 28th and won't be home until late on April 4th. It will be spring break there and will be crowded, not the best time to go but when family is going to be there it is much more fun then just going alone. 

Rhonda had asked Rachel if she and David would be willing to do a family night at the fellowship hall and share about his heart attack.. When Rhonda asked, Rachel suggested maybe it would be better held at the barn. Rhonda quickly sent this text back: I just read this:  Deuteronomy 28:8 the LORD will command the blessing on you in your barns and all that you undertake. YEP this needs to be held at the barn.  They have picked a date and anyone that is interested is invited.
