Slushy Roads

12/23/15 We knew there was a chance of rain today and that is how the first part of the day was, wet and rainy. The horses lot was starting to be just soft mud and not sloppy wet. Not any more. As the day went, soon the rain turned into snowflakes that were fairly large and heavy. Out of nowhere I saw lightning and then heard thunder. We were getting thunder snow. To make things even more bizarre, parts of the state were under a tornado watch. Parts of Alabama and several other areas down south did have tornadoes hit and wipe out homes. Jayden had to work at the grocery store in Ogden, so I drove her for her 4-6 shift. The roads were a sloshy mess on the gravel with several inches of heavy wet snow. It was the kind that pulls you into the ditch. On the way into Ogden, we saw a car that just went into the ditch, on the way back another. Mark picked her up so I didn’t have to go out again. Spillman’s ventured out to bring me Michelle’s amazing rye bread. The bread is so yummy and it brings back memories of my Grandma Edna Wahlert's fresh homemade bread she used to make. Michelle is such a good friend. I was going to have her show me how to bake the bread and do it together, but we couldn’t get our schedules together. Instead she not only made me 3 loaves, she also delivered it along with treats and gifts, and on a bad weather day. Now that is a good friend!

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.
