Once the other stall was cleaned and the manure dumped I went down to the farm house to check the rain gauge. We got 3/10ths of an inch. A little bit of a drink for the fields. Just as we were ready to walk the Farm House booked for TODAY. A couple are coming into town to visit family and wanted to stay for 4 nights. They leave Saturday morning and we leave for our Sceggel vacation on Saturday morning but now will need to leave once the farm house is clean and ready for the next guests coming in on Wednesday next week. I went right home and blocked off Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday so I don't have to worry about someone booking it until after the next guests who have booked until August 2nd. Mark was shocked. I needed to leave for Berean but told him I would leave early from there to get back to finish the cleaning before the 3:00 pm check in. We had a good amount of mail today at Berean. We were missing Shirley and Ray. Shirley sent a message that she fell and knocked Ray down, both were sore but Ray broke a bone in his arm. Today is his 97th birthday. What an awful way to celebrate that birthday! At our prayer time Kathy read a letter to us.

Below are a few pictures from this morning at the Berean office.


Rhoda sent a Marco Polo explaining she was coming to work on landscaping and I told her about the guests coming today. She must have called Sarah in a panic as both Rhoda and Sarah arrived and did a deep clean on everything. Rhoda was trying to trim the bushes when she disturbed a wasp nest and got stung. I borrowed Joan's bee suit and that worked. Rhoda put that on was surrounded with angry wasps but no more stings. She was able to find and destroy the nests. Sarah used the hose and a bleach mixture to clean the outside of the house. The outside of the windows were also sprayed. By the time I arrived (about 11:00 pm) everyone was working hard. They stayed until 2:00 pm, Mark and I worked until after 3:00 pm but when we left we looked around and were amazed at how much those girls got done. This farm house would not have looked so nice without our daughters. We were both SO thankful. Our guests pulled up in a Tesla Cyber Truck. This was the first time I've ever seen one up close. The owner showed me how the back opens. The grand kids would love to see it. I asked if I could take pictures and a video of it. Pretty impressive.

They were thrilled that we had a Tesla charger and will use it for the next 4 days. I told Mark and he decided to leave the charger and just order a new one for mom's garage. I will update the ad on Airbnb to include a Tesla Charger. Meanwhile our car was down to 15 % charge and we won't be going anywhere tomorrow with that car is charged so Mark parked it over at the barn and hooked it up. We don't have a charger there but Spark put in an outlet that works for the car, just not as fast as the Tesla one. Good thing we have all evening and all night to charge it. Braelyn arrived to clean the apartment. Braelyn will be going with us to Branson on Saturday. She was told about the farm house renting and is willing to help me clean it Saturday morning. I'm thankful for hard working daughters AND hard working grand daughters. Couldn't do all of this without them. I drove back this evening to care for Tessa and the filly then checked on the outdoor arena. The ladies painting the outdoor arena were finished. There are still a couple boards and posts but they need to be replaced. Mike had the girls paint the extra boards and will get the rotted ones replaced later.

The black makes the arena look much nicer.
