May Weekend - Lots of Milestones



The boys were moved late in the day Saturday to White Fences Farm. KC was literally frozen in place when we got there - he was afraid of all the heads looking at him and was unsure about the situation. Skip was a little better and eventually walked in with KC following.

We stopped over in the morning and both were out in a small paddock. They were glad to see us, we gave them treats. We stayed only about 10 minutes, had to be at the farm to meet the scheduled appliance delivery!!

Sears really came through for us, as did the Obama money AND the rebate from Allegheny Power. We got a $1100 fridge for $504. A beautiful, energy-efficient front-load water-saver washer, and a 'smart' dryer. Both are big enough to handle horse blankets! The Kitchen Aid dishwasher is to die for! The delivery men also took the burned-out water heater from the garage. The power company will recycle the old fridge from the garage, giving us $80. It had to be clean, so we took care of that with Tilex and a hose.

Tom hung the new interior basement door. It is beautiful, needs to be primed and painted. He also installed the new dead-bolt on the exterior basement door. We installed a new toilet on the first floor. I wasn't even going to wash that toilet, and I certainly wasn't going to use it. The one upstairs needs replacing, too. I washed kitchen cabinets, the bathroom cabinet, walls, floors, window sills.

We stopped by White Fences Farm on the way home and they were in their stalls, very relaxed and glad to see us. We shared an apple and I petted my little kitty! She's too young to take home now; she has a good mom and three litter mates. They live in a cardboard box in the tack room. Skip was not stall-walking and KC was lording it over the gelding next door that he got an apple! They both seem very happy at White Fences Farm.
