A Job For jayden

10/29/15 Jayden started a job at Hidden Acres. We are very proud of her for having the ambition to go out and get herself a job. She is the first of the Muench grandchildren to get a job while still in high school. She cleans at Hidden Acres. It is not an easy job by any means, she works very hard for not a lot of pay.  She cleans floors in dinning halls, cleans bathrooms, cabins, hallways, the family life center, and does laundry. Her first day she had to mop a giant area and came home with a giant blister. She never complained and works hard. She is only getting minimum wage at $7.25/hour Cleaning ladies in the area get $20 to $25/hour. Hey, she is happy to be getting some extra cash to spend or save as she likes. In working, the job can be miserable or bearable depending on who she has to work with. So far, she has worked with some fun people and is really liking it. Not that she doesn’t have enough to do at home, but she keeps very busy now.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
