Beautiful Ending to a Beautiful Day
I took the golf cart over at 6:30 am to check on Cookie and feed the cat. While there Cookie's stall was cleaned, her hay feeder filled and 2 clean buckets of water were left before going down to the farm house. Each time I go I bring back a load of things to go through but after this morning there isn't that much left. We picked up Rhonda for church and since Wednesday night was family night the Bible studies were brought to church. We have quite a few studies that need grading so if anyone is interested they are now at the Peoria church. Rick Kaisner's family were here and it is always a joy to listen to him. He had the morning message and if you are feeling a little old and tired you WILL want to listen to this message. Click HERE for that. Tina and Jozsef served lunch today and had hamburgers and hotdogs. After lunch Tim Funk started the statement of faith study. He just gave the history of how and why we put out this statement. Click HERE if you would like a history lesson. We stopped at Aldi on the way home from church to pick up hamburger and hot dog buns. We had already determined we would be serving hamburgers and brats for our dinner tonight at the barn. We were also going to celebrate Jack, Israel and Jace's birthdays. Supper was very tasty and well attended. The kids were playing in the gym before dinner.
The video below shows how this 2 on 2 game was going.
Those boys are talented. Israel had just made a 3 right before this shot by Abe.
After supper came the birthday party.
After supper most of the kids went to play in the lake. Berlica took Zion and Riley over to the barn to start them on vaulting. They used Daryl the barrel for this lesson.
They were glad to come back and jump in the lake to cool off. Joan took Nancy out on the canoe to fish.
She caught a big stick BEFORE she caught any fish. The video shows her catching both but only after getting some of the grandchildren in the lake.
They all started going home around 8:00 pm. Once everyone was gone. Rizzy, Israel dog who is spending the week with us, went over to take care of Cookie. I was surprised to see someone had cleaned her stall and filled her water buckets. Must have been some grand daughters. Cookie was put outside in a paddock for the night. Her skin is healing quickly. I stopped to check on the two Friesian foals. Tessa's was up playing but Rosaleigh's was taking a nap.
The sun was down by the time I got back to the house but God had painted the clouds pink and that was reflecting in the lake. I couldn't help to admire the beauty.
