The screws were lined up on the ledge so they wouldn't get lost. Sadly it was the inner tube that had a big hole where the stem comes out. Walmart has them but not in stock at any store, they have to be ordered. I sent Phil a text to see if we could take the tire out of the old pitching machine. What I didn't realize was Anna brought it back here. It was in the garage. We took that apart, thankfully that tire held air just fine. We just had to put it all back together. Mark was making some shrimp for supper at mom's tonight so I took the tools and got it put together. It works perfectly.

This sounds like such an easy fix but I admit to panicking. The guests coming are a church group of senior boys and their counselors. I know they are going to want to use it. It took many trips up and down those stairs to get it in working order. 

Dinner tonight at mom's was a lot of fun. Sarah and Josh showed up to work on invitations. Sarah had on an ostrich shirt.

Mom took one look at those eyes looking at her and frowned. 

Wow did we laugh and when I showed mom the picture so did she! After dinner it was finally time to start on dishes here and throw in a load of laundry. 

Mike has been working with the yearlings now that they are in the cabin field. Sally and Rosalie are with them. He has a plastic bag on the hydrant which is near the automatic waterer. 

If they want to drink they are going to have to be brave. Sally and Rosalie have no problem with it so hopefully they will realize it is no big deal.
