Mom & Jake Day

 7/28/22 I had a day with my Jake. The clock is ticking and he will be starting college in less than a month. His program is 2 years even through the summers. Things will change a lot around here. Today the two of us went to Ames, did a little shopping, picked out a rug for his apartment room and had lunch. He got to pick and chose Red Lobster. You can't beat the cheddar chive biscuits and he ordered a big meal to go with it. He needed a haircut and he had been talking about cutting his hair short. I told him it was up to him and out he came without the mullet! I was shocked he actually did it. I thought it looked great, clean cut short and marine like. I thought it made him look older and more mature. A part of me was a little sad too. I didn't want to tell him that, but knowing the mullet is gone was a little sad, it has been his look for the past 3 years. It fit him well and his personality.

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.
