Grandchildren Help
I went up to the horses early sure that Disco, Dancer's colt would be out and he was. Before putting him back I closed the back gate to the pond pasture. When I walked back to the front gate Disco was waiting and glad to be back with his buddies. We never did find out how he was escaping but now that the pond pasture is no longer available he stayed in all day. I took the golf cart over to mom's at 7:30 am, Joan, Ruth and Diane (by speaker phone) joined us in mom's room while we hashed over Sunday. It really was an amazing wonderful day. I needed to be home by 8:00 am as Sarah was dropping off Eden and Zion. I had big plans for them today but first they enjoyed an orange.
We worked here first then went to the barn to fill nut cups for Thanksgiving. The girls put on plastic gloves for this job.
We had 4 different goodies to put in the cups so had to first mix them all up in a bowl.
Below they are filling the nut cups.
We filled 90 of them then stacked them on a tray and covered them with plastic wrap.
After that job we went to work bringing in the tables and chairs.
We were really busy moving tables and soon the girls needed a rest.
Not really they just posed for the picture. We were bug hunting in the gym finding lady bugs to sweep up. While we were doing this Mark had Israel helping him. Those two took the tires off of my car and Mark's car and put on the snow tires. Mark told me Israel was able to install ALL of the tires himself. He was very impressed with his work ethic and his ability to do the work. They checked all of the tires air pressure and now we are good to go.
While Mark came in Israel loaded up the golf cart and drove the supplies over to the barn. It is nice having someone that can run errands around this neighborhood. He found a sack in the gym that was left at the Co-op cast party and ran that over to mom's for Joan to get it to the correct owner. Below he is waiting for Mark to bring the car down to take him home.
I spent the afternoon cleaning and doing laundry. The upstairs is now ready for company I even washed all of the bedding, scrubbed the bathroom, scrubbed all of the upstairs floors and cleaned off the stairs. It really is important to have company every once in a while, otherwise the upstairs gets neglected.
