I needed to get up to the stall to check if Tessa had dropped the placenta and was pleased to see it was out and complete. I make sure Tessa had plenty of water and refilled her hay. While up there her stall was also cleaned. Just Diane and I walked at 7:30. Joan and Ruth joined at 8:05 am but at that time I needed to leave for the Berean office. Turns out I should have left before 8:00 am. The interstate 474 came to a dead stop at the 74 exit then crawled along going between 4 mph to around 10 mph all the way until the 150 exit. I didn't arrive at the Berean office until 9:03 am and was the last volunteer to arrive. Skip put me to work at the computer while he made copies. All of us kept busy today. Marvin is on a trip so we were a little short handed.
I only stopped to take 2 pictures as I got a late start on entering names. We were done before 11:00 am and enjoyed a treat of key lime pie plus a small Chantilly cake with fruit on top. The Bibles and Bible studies going out today were taken to the Hanna City post office. Anna, Taegan and Kensley were here cleaning the foaling apartment. At 12:30 pm Ruth came to move her camper but we had a little problem getting the electronic jack to work. Thankfully Ruth discovered we could manually move it but we needed a tool. She drove home to find one while I took the golf cart over to find Spark to see if he had one. Ruth realized she had the exact tool HERE IN her camper. That went quickly then. I dropped it off at her place and came back to work on moving things over to mom's house. The curtain pole arrived so I worked on the closets upstairs. The hall closet was changed to these.
When the curtain is opened there is just two cots and one humidifier in the entire closet.
The new batteries were put in the lights in the East bedroom closet and this was the pole I was waiting on. That pole needed to be longer than 6 feet. This closet is completely empty.
I actually thinks it looks better open, makes the room much larger.
The West bedroom closet still has Christmas wrapping paper, Rhoda's candy machine and a few other supplies inside but there is still plenty of room for guests to hang clothes and store suitcases.
The goal for this house is for us to turn it into an airbnb. We really can't rent it out for a long term renter. There are too many utilities that come from this house that serve the apartment and the new barn. It is 3 bedrooms and 2 baths so maybe a family coming through would appreciate it.
This evening I asked Mark to bring a saw to help get hay off the round bale. This bale is twisted so I can't just run the pitch fork down and pull off hay.
The saw didn't work well so Mark picked the bale up with the tractor and we were able to pull lots of hay off that way. He left then for mom's house. He ordered a dehumidifier for that house from Meisters. Nolan delivered it today and even carried it to the basement. This evening Mark installed it and got it running. I moved Tessa and her filly over to the other stall so her's could be stripped.
They settled right in the new stall and the filly promptly decided to lay down and take a nap. She is just one day old but doing well.
I just have one more machine to change then a couple beds to make and I can quit for the day but am waiting for the dryer to finish first.
