Church

 We attended Cornerstone church in Ames for the first time today in a long time. This was our family's first time attending church since Mach 15 when the pandemic started. We had cousin Karla meet and sit with us too.  It was strange walking in and standing on a circle on the floor and waiting to go to the next circle in order to keep the proper distance. There was hand sanitizer all along the walk and orange cones to keep you walking straight forward. Once inside the sanctuary, a greeter escorted us to our seats where everyone is strategically placed in order to distance from one another. All church members, except those on stage are required to wear a mask. It was an odd experience, but at the same time it felt great to be back within the walls worshiping, praising, and praying. The message was great, Pastor Mark V explained the importance of continuing to gather and why we need to wear masks. It kind of broke down some of the irritability we all have in wearing them. He emphasized how we should be kind to those that wear masks and those that do not. It was a good reminder. Back in March when the pandemic started, we all thought this would be something that lasted for a month, and we would all be back for Easter in church without masks and social distancing. Here we are 5 months later and I don't see change happening anytime soon. At least nothing will change until after elections. In fact things could get worse before they get better. The left side will do any and everything in their power, even ruin our people and our country in order to see the president gone.

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.
