Today all our kids had the day off from school. Allie
stayed the night and stayed for most of the day. The kids all went and got horses groomed, braided manes, and saddled while Mark and I were at a funeral. We attended Sylvia Holbert's funeral. She was a neat little lady that lived to be 100 years old. She was a member of the Baptist church in Stratford. I always enjoyed her kindness and sent her Christmas cards and photos of the kids over the years. A few weeks ago Jayden was visiting the nursing home with Grandpa Po and stopped in to see Sylvia. Jayden told me she was reading her bible with her magnifier machine that blows the words up 100x. She said Sylvia also prayed with them. Sylvia was very sharp and wanted to know anything she could pray for you . As the preacher said at her funeral, she was definitley salt to this world. Once back, we rode horses with Allie in the arena. Then we worked hard cleaning out the tack area in the horse trailer. In the evening, Jake went to the field with Mark and the rest of us went to Jayden's serpentine practice. This was the first practice on horses. They have a lot to learn and work on. The kids and I enjoyed Allie's company and catching up with her. She would spend a few more days with other family before heading back on Thursday.
