5/6/16 This week in review. It seems
kind of a blur, It was not a good week for Mark. On Monday night he got sick
and had the stomach flu unable to keep anything down for over 24 hours. At one
point it had been 6 hours and he thought he was going to be ok. He sat down at
the table for lunch with a piece of toast and had not even touched it yet and
had to make a dash to the bathroom. That happened again at supper. Poor guy. He was
miserable for 3 days, sore, weak, and ill. We are all praying he will get better and it will not
spread.
Monday for school I had the kids start a needle point cross and Luke
really took to it. He worked on it numerous times and told me he found his new
hobby.
Tuesday Jayden had a doctor
appointment and we also had the farrier come and put shoes on 4 horses. Our
farrier is nice and fun to talk to, however I still dread standing and holding
nearly an hour per horse, and the cost has gotten so high! It’s like buying
your kid the most expensive tennis shoes every 6 weeks.
Wednesday . I got the chickens outside in the
chicken coop for the first time. In the evening it was the last of the youth
groups. Jayden’s small group met and ate at Texas Roadhouse. I met
Angelia for a tropical smoothie.
Thursday was Cinco De Mayo and that happens to
fall on Jayden’s half birthday, so we make a point to eat Mexican every year.
After some school, I took the kids to
Boone to a Mexican restaurant. Later the
boys helped Grammer plant in her garden while Jake mowed. In the evening Jayden
had her 4H horse project meeting. It was an awesome sunny warm evening so I
took a long walk while she was in her meeting learning showmanship.
Friday
Jayden and I went to the Dayton arena to ride horses and make a practice run.
We also bathed horses. The boys left bright and early to go to the Pella tulip
festival with Grammer and Po. The sun was shinning and temps got up to 80. Saturday
is a whole lot of busy and it will get its own entry.
