850 - Lexi comes for her week at the ranch

Day 850 another lazy start however the new bus drive called to stop and meet us and see the stop a few minutes away from us. Kaylin stopped just after around 10:15 to drop Lexi off, then she was off to do wedding makeup for 11. Shaina slept late after her late night but was off to work for 1, another tournament.
We jumped in the car and zoomed to Paetz's to deliver her birthday sign and help her hang it and baby pictures while the fellows BS'd. Next stop was to pick up another coffee table but I think kids table more so, this one in need of some tlc.

 finished wall.. what you think? (AJ is going to fun tack corners straight)
Rona to restock was our next venture before the big spender took me for lunch.. at Dairy Queen!! An important stop to restock the baileys, parts return, pick up another online auction and then back to the ranch by 2.

Kaylin was here soon after to visit briefly before heading back in to meet a friend for lunch. Britt returned home at 3 and kindly finished Sheldon's "hair" cut and dishwasher chore.

Finally after a nap and much groaning, at 4, Sheldon took the truck to the new shop to change the u bolts. I went out to unload the car after updating the blog and Facebook. Kaylin was back around 4, Britt cleaned her vehicle in lieu of makeup debt!

Just before 6 Kaylin and I went out to catch horses, Gail and Britt soon joined us and we tacked up and went for a ride, it was a beautiful night for a ride. Sheldon worked on mowing the weeds along the fence to the gate.
 Kaylin preparing then actually back in the saddle.. nice to see ;-)

Back inside at 7:30 I cooked up a simple spaghettini supper and veggies. Around 8:30  fellow stopped to buy our 1000 gallon stock tank... for a pool! He was definitely Clark Griswald driving back to Calgary. He brought thin nylon rope to secure which was a joke so borrowed our ratchet straps. Shaina called just as he arrived that her and Shannon were leaving on their BC vacation getting off work a bit later than planned. Kaylin and Gail headed to town before Kaylin went home to Calgary then off to her course tomorrow in Edmonton. Britt found her cat and put back in garage rehab then hit TV room while Sheldon resumed the weed eating part of the weed removal along fence posts. I went to the sweat shop (today was 29 so it heated up good) and sanded my 2 rulers projects and the new kids table.

At 10 we both shut it down, enjoyed a cold beer and warm bath to remove another days worth of dust off.
