Twinning?

 I only did one round of walk today as I wanted to get to the Berean office a little early. Skip was the only volunteer already there and working but soon we had plenty of helpers to get everything done. 

Skip and Ray were twinning today. The rest of us didn't get the memo about pink shirts and blue pants.
Marvin worked on recording returns while Kathy read letters.

Once the studies were processed, Vonnie had them folding new studies while Skip worked on Bibles. 
Shirl, kept busy stuffing the next set of lessons for all that came in today.
Shirley ran the postage machine, filled the advanced studies AND brought the dessert today. She made a fantastic angel food cake layered with chocolate and heath bar crumbles. It really was delicious. We were done with the work early so stayed visiting for a bit while enjoying coffee and cake. I had to take studies to Meisters for Amanda to give to her mom to grade. I used the self drive in the Tesla believing it would know if Kickapoo Creek road was open. It did not and I had to take over the navigation using Middle road to get down to Kickapoo Creek road and finally to Meisters. From there I just went to the Bartonville post office to drop off the Bibles and studies going out today. David's family was at the lake when I got home. Israel and Elisabet wanted to go over to see the fawn Rachel rescued last night. She and David saw something moving in the water by the dam. They took a canoe over to check it out and found this fawn laying in the water. It had obviously been attacked by some animal as it's face had some lacerations and her ear was punctured in a few places. The side of her eye and face are swollen. Rachel and David were able to get her out of the water and dry her off. They picked up some formula (I think from TSC)  Joan's daughter is a wildlife rehab so that is why she is at Joan's house. 
Joan also has some ducks. Israel was interested in feeding them.
Although when they pecked at the feed in his hand he jerked and that scared them. Mike took Israel and Crew to Hannah's parlor for lunch then to basketball camp. Elisabet stayed here and found some  goose feathers.
Sarah arrived with her 3 girls so Elisabet had someone to play with so David and Stephanie left for a lunch date. Sarah work with Izzy today. That didn't go as well as yesterday. Today the tarp was brought out and Izzy took one look at that and shut down. She would not respond, just kept running but not asking to come in. I don't know what ever happened to her to cause that reaction. Sarah ended on a good note. Izzy was hosed down then we left to go check out the fawn. 


So far the fawn won't suck out of a bottle. The swelling on her face must hurt. Joan was able to get her to lick the formula out of her hands. Joan and Berlica were able to get her to latch on to the bottle and take a few sucks while we were there but only got a few ounces. We went back to mom's beach to cool off. Anna dropped off her 3 girls to swim about that time.
My next job was to take pictures of the 2 wheelchairs for Timber Ridge at Lifepoints. The first one is a transport wheelchair we got for mom when she was on palliative care. We used that for a while to take mom to church. 
As mom got stronger we were able to use the wheel chair we borrowed from Ilene Haefli. Meanwhile we had purchased another wheel chair but it was too big to fit under the kitchen table. We didn't realize that wheelchairs cannot be returned. We took it out of the box and tried it, realized it wouldn't fit, put it back in the box then found out we were stuck with it. That has stayed in mom's garage for over 4 years. Hopefully Timber ridge can use it also.
Mom wore out the wheelchair borrowed from Ilene last winter while in Gulf Shores so Ruth bought another one and had it shipped down there. We will give that nearly new wheel chair back to the Haefli family.
Berlica and Braelyn decided to go on a trail ride with Rosalie and Jewel. These are the best mares EVER. 
This was the first time Rosalie led with Berlica riding.
Mark had the lawn mower parked out by the drive, Rosalie wanted to check it out before going past it on the way to the trails but on the way back it was much less scary.

 I left as we had someone coming to check out the barn. They actually had already booked it through airbnb but wanted to make sure it really was as advertised. The couple exclaimed once they saw it, "IT is EXACTLY as listed."
