Productive Monday

 Well I gave in and had a cup of coffee this morning with one of those left over donuts and enjoyed every bite. It just isn't the same with tea. Not sure it was a good idea but it sure gave me energy. Before the walk I was able to get 2 of the 10 beds made with clean sheets. When we were coming back from Rachel's we noticed another tree down. We laughed as it looked like we are making a cross country jump that ends up in Mike and Diane's pond.

At 8:38 am the lady wanting to buy Dancer asked if I would be able to take her to Hoerr Vet clinic on Friday for a PPE. We are hosting potluck on Friday but I told her I would call them and if they could get me in first thing in the morning it could work. Well they did, the vet appointment is Friday morning at 8:30. If Dr. Hoerr gets delayed I worked out with Mike and Diane that they would come take my place with the horses and I'll take their car home to get the house ready for company. It's potluck you know and I heard over the pulpit that the fridge will need to be pulled out and cleaned behind. One of the ministers really did say that his mom always made them do that before potluck and we all laughed. I'm NOT going to be doing that.
After breakfast it was back to work for me. All 10 beds were changed, all of the laundry finished, all of the towels restocked in the farm house, the foaling apartment and the barn. Braelyn planned on coming tonight to clean the foaling apartment so that cleaning was left for her. While waiting on the machines all 6 bathrooms in the barn were restocked and cleaned along with the 2 in the farm house. I quit work around 3:00 pm. The floors still needed to be swept and mopped in both places but the weather was so nice I really wanted to work outside, AND the mare paddock needed a new bale. Mark came to help with that as someone needed to keep the foals from running out of the gate when the tractor goes in. The man that left his golf clubs at the farm house months ago decided today was the day to come get them. I had given up on him coming and had sent a message to the man that booked the farm house to let him know if he doesn't come get them by Oct. 1st I was giving them away and I did. I gave them to Nolan, except now the owner was less than an hour and a half away and already on the way. I drove over to Sarah and Nolan's house and got them out of their garage. The owner was very thankful and so of course I feel like I owe Nolan a set of golf clubs.. Anyone have any they are not using that would like to find a home for? At 5:30 pm Mark and I left for Farmington High School to watch Braelyn play volleyball. Their team is doing really well this year and tonight they won both games decisively. Below is just some of the game.

Taegan and Kensley were playing basketball in Lewistown so as soon as the game was over Anna left to watch the last of the 7th grade and hopefully all of the 8th grade game. Phil went to those games and gave us updates during Braelyn's games. Kensley is in 6th grade but plays on both the 7th and 8th grade teams. Taegan is in 8th grade and plays on that team. Pretty cool the sisters get to play on the same team.  It was a very productive day, I'm thankful for the beautiful day and thankful I can still do the work.
