A Very Special Truck

Lindie's son Blake wanted to give Jake the first opportunity to buy Lindie's old truck. He got it all cleaned up and ready to sell. He was appreciative and sentimental and of course he said yes. Lindie was a family friend and a friend to the boys. They got to spend a lot of time with Lindie in the tractor and talking cars and trucks. They thought a lot of each other. The truck is 24 years old and has a ton of miles on it, but looks pretty good. It fits in well with all the other white trucks on the farm. Jake took it out on his first drive at sunset and there was a beautiful sky with all the purples and pinks. On the radio a song came on saying..".if you get there before I do, don't wait up for me, ". He was emotional and told me about it feeling Lindie was looking down.

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.
