Camper Table Tops

 My first job was to check on the foals. They were all fine and were glad for their grain this morning. I could not see that they had eaten much hay so I took a wheel barrow load of hay in and left it in the middle of the paddock before heading over to mom's house.


Today Joan was leaving for Co-op, Diane was leaving for Gulf Shores and Ruth was coming to mom's for the day. We visited while Joan was getting ready. This morning we wanted to haul Madiera, her filly and Blueberry out to Middle Grove. The horses were in the pond pasture so the golf cart was taken over to get Madiera but right about then Madiera came walking up first with her filly and went into the middle paddock. The gate was shut and the other mares left out in the pond pasture. That made it easy to get Madiera and her filly without the others trying to follow them out. Madiera and her filly walked right into the stock trailer. Blueberry was left so I could get the barn aisle swept out before Mike came to help load. She too walked right into the trailer and I was on my way to Middle Grove.  Blueberry was unloaded first and without waiting she took off at a gallop up the hill. Madiera and her filly were let out the side door. They took off after Blueberry. 
The herd heard them coming and came to the ridge to meet them.
I was ready to cross the street to get into the truck when a big semi came roaring down the road.
I turned around and took one more picture of the horses from the road. 
When I got back I took off for Aldi to pick up supplies for our Sunday dinner and eggs for Joan. She wanted to hard boil 8 for their trip tomorrow. Those were set to boil while I went over to get meat out of the deep freeze in the barn. I'm going to try to cook beef short ribs for Sunday. I've never done that so spent some time on the internet checking out different recipes. Mark and I went over to measure the table of one of the campers. The formica top is peeling off and we thought we could just easily order a new table top. 

We went home to order 2 new tables as 2 of them need repair only to find no one makes this size. We tried calling Forest River dealers but none of them could help. We finally left a message from a company in Michigan that sells camper parts. This table is  33 and a half inches by 30 and three quarters. We could find plenty of 30 by 42 but not sure how we could cut it to fit. We may just need to scrape all the formica off and replace it. This evening we stopped at Sarah and Nolan's on our way to Kroger to see the progress on their house. Nolan is pretty happy with what they are getting done.
After Kroger we stopped at the diner for supper. Mark ordered the jubilee salad (really a big chef salad), that came with soup and I wasn't hungry so just ate his soup. He asked for a to go box when he ordered the meal and put over half in that box before he started eating on it. The entire meal including tip and tax came to $17.29.  This evening I went to mom's to say good by and when I left the last two kittens came out to greet me.
The fluffy orange kitten is leaving tonight and Sarah and Nolan will be taking the fluffy gray kitten.
The other 3 kittens are already at their new homes.
