Restorative Sleep Needed
I think the wheel chair van pulled out at 7:30 am today with Karin and Jackie following. Joan called about half way through the trip to see if I would arrange Nancy this weekend. Rhonda sent a couple more pictures of Noel and her new baby with the 5 generations.
Below is great great grandma with the newest Meister baby.
Five eggs were whipped until they were frothy then poured on top of the vegetables.
That was covered and put on medium low for 3 minutes while the strawberries were washed and sliced and the bread toasted. After 3 minutes it was flipped and cheese added then another minute on low and finally cut in half and one half put on top of the other half with cheese sprinkled on top.
The stove turned off and the pan covered while the toast was buttered and the plates warmed. It was divided into 3 pieces. One for Mark, one for me and one was put in the fridge for Mark's breakfast tomorrow. Breakfast was delicious. THEN it was time to go to work. We both started cleaning off the rest of the dry wall dust. Mark was using a brush along the corners at the top.
I was using a damp swiffer mop on all the walls and ceilings. Once that was all done, he used the blower to make sure the walls were free of dust. Then we started priming with me rolling and him using the brush trimming where the roller couldn't reach. Below I asked him to trade me tools for a few minutes.
He left around 11:00 am but I stayed until I ran out of primer. I still have 2 bathrooms and the bunk room to do before we can start painting. By this time it was after 2:00 pm and I was more than ready to quit. We left for Lowes to pick up another 5 gallon bucket of primer, 10 gallons of the wall paint, a trimmer and a few small sponges for little areas spending about $450.00
We forgot to pick up the gallon of ceiling paint so Mark is going to pick that up tomorrow while I finish up the primer. He is also going to pick up another roller so I can start right away on the ceilings instead of waiting for the roller I'm using with the primer to dry. It was after 4:00 pm by the time we started our drive home so stopped at the Bartonville diner for supper. We had just received our food when Gertie and Dennis walked in and joined us.
They ordered quickly and their food came quickly. We enjoyed visiting together while dinning. Amy sent a picture Cathie took today with her phone of Amy and her mare Belle.
This evening Sheena and her filly were left out and just grained out in the pasture. Titus and Aiken put in the stalls. I'm really started to worry about Aiken. She is just not developing an udder and is overdue. It is in God's hands, there really isn't anything we can do to hurry this foal along. Tonight I'm really tired, my arms are exhausted after painting for 5 hours straight. I'm really looking forward to a good restorative sleep. That is much needed tonight. Diane sent word back from Mark Twain lake that it rained all day BUT they were rewarded with a beautiful sunrise and sent the two pictures below:
We also just heard from Rhonda, Joan started swelling up again. Spark had to take her to the ER in Mountainhome. They are treating her with steroids for 3 weeks so please keep her in your prayers.
