Day 30

30 days of isolation, 30 days without events or activities. 30 days without seeing any friends or being around people. I am doing ok with this change, but I don't really like it. I think I am a little introverted and a little extroverted. I do enjoy quiet time and like to have peace in my schedule. I like to be home with family and not having to be somewhere all the time. Yet, the extrovert likes to socialize and be with friends. 
  After school and lunch, Jayden took Luke to pick up his little motorcycle that needed a new tire. The motorcycle was Jake's that he got when he turned 13.  I took Jake with me to get groceries. We ordered Mexican and ate it in the car.  It had been a couple weeks since I had been to Fareway. There were a handful of people wearing masks, and only a dozen customers in the store. It felt different from the last time. I could feel eyes on me because I had Jake in the store with me. I felt a sense of "shame on you" having a kid with me. I had Jake shop grandmas' list with his own cart. There were more signs this time, signs about wearing masks, signs of social distancing yourself, signs of where to wait at the checkout counter, and signs about shopping only once a week and getting only what you need. I don't like shopping anymore.
 In the evening, we played the game of Life for awhile. We all needed a break from tv. Mark gets so tired and is always in bed around 9/10:00. My bedtime is 10:30/11. I stayed up and had long talks with Jayden in her room. I know she will be leaving us soon for Alva so want to have some good chats. I had her paint my toes and we went to bed 11:30. We are in the great pause of 2020

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.
