Day 13

Coronavirus in the U.S.: Latest Map and Case Count - The New York ...
I haven't checked the numbers in a few days and today I looked it up. Numbers are rising and the US is now over 97,000 cases.
As we try to carry on as normal as possible in our lives with all things shut down, today we celebrated Karen's birthday. We have been cautious with our parents. The older and elderly are the most susceptible with this virus. Apparently it doesnt even affect children. We certainly don't want to get the virus and be a carrier without even knowing it and spread something to our parents. We have been cautious. Karen and Orrie felt confortable about coming to our house, so we had dinner and cake. Jayden made the most amazing cake ever!! She baked a yellow cake using two round cakes. She watched a you tube video that taught her as she went. She leveled the round cakes and filled the middle with frosting. She made her own powdered sugar adding crushed strawberries and a little strawberry jelly. It was the best frosting and the combination with cake was mouth watering. If it wouldnt make me sick I could have eaten 4 pieces.

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.
