Not to much excitement around here. I did some weeding on Friday (24th) but I haven't worked with Shiloh for the past few days. I need to work her on some of the games. :-) I managed to do a make shift patch on our galvanized water tank with plastic and duck tape, so the kids and I filled it half way and they enjoyed cooling off the past few afternoons. It's close to the house so we can keep an eye on them. Though playing in the water means a lot of clothing to wash, as we don't have swimsuits they're just playing in their regular clothing. :-)
We had put in a large order for butter to be delivered to the Endeavour store so when we went to pick that up on Sat. I also ordered some Avon stuff as she's a dealer. I'm hoping that it will come before camp time. ;-) She said maybe 16th but she'd try to get it ordered in sooner as we (Naomi and I) were going to use some of the product for gifts. :-)
Dad's been working on a haybine and a few other things for Neal Fenske.... Dad's had to run to Preeceville a few times in the past few days trying to get the right parts so he can fix the equipment.
Well other than that nothing big has been happening here. But that could change any day. :-) Only about 3 weeks till music camp starts. :-)
Ya'll have a great day.

28th here.... Rained a bit yesterday, Weeded all but my part of the strawberries this afternoon. I could have weeded them as well but... :-) Guess I was feeling lazy. Other than that, just the same ol' things happening here. Dad's still working on the haybine, some of the kids have been riding..... we've all been keeping in good health. :-)
31st..... It's been raining the past two days... and cloudy in-between rain spurts. :-) Kind of chilly for July/August don't you think? :-)
Today Dad, Jesse, Martha, Lydia, Ellie and I went to Ketchen Lake Bible Camp to help clean up now that camp is all done. We stayed and had lunch with them as well. :-) And then Dad, Mom, Naomi, Ellie, Cilla, Ruth, Sara and I left for a trip to town. Dad, Mom, Ellie and Naomi to do some banking and I hopefully to get some net connection for posting and e-mailing.
Sooooo I hope you all have are having a great day and till next time. :-)

Sunny here
Well another beautiful day here at the Holter farm. It reached 80 f today but we didn't go into the water. Our well has been failing worse and worse, so Dad is going to have to seriously look into getting it looked at. Hopefully all it needs is a cleaning and we wont have to drill a new well. If we do have to drill a new one that means no sawmill for Dad. We're just praying right now.... God has things in control. :-)
I went to town with Dad and Mom this morning, picked up a couple things. Then this afternoon I scythed down more weeds, gave myself another blister so I stopped. :-/ :-) Then I worked on trying to repair a hole in a galvanized water trough so the kids can have a wadding pool and not have to get so dirty going into the dugout. We'll fill it later and see if my make shift patch will hold. I'm kind of thinking that it wont as I didn't have the proper material for the hole but it might surprise me. :-)
I didn't work with Shiloh today. Yesterday I just tried to sack her out to a blanket being rubbed on her and flipped at her. She apparently was let get away with some stuff before... the main things being that she has a bad habit of nibbling and she also has no respect for personal space on her seeing side. Her blind side she stays away pretty much. So my work is cut out for me. :-) She ties very well, and there was no pulling back so I think she might have had a few lessons on that before I got her. Since she's quite calm about the blanket being flipped on her, I think I'll just try the saddle next and see how she does. She takes things pretty well, and doesn't get het up about it so I think breaking her to ride will be OK. :-)
Today we're in Yorkton so I hope to be able to post this and send some e-mails. I also have to look up some other things. The net is a good thing at times but at others it gets bothersome. :-)

Good day to ya'll.
I hope that all those who follow this blog are having a good day. :-)
Sunday (19th) went quite well... after service and the pot luck most of the people went home so we were able to spend the afternoon at the lake and enjoyed playing in the water without so many people around. :-)
Lydia and I went down and spent a day at camp in the kitchen again(Mon. 20th). We helped out with all the meals for that day and then I rolled out around 100 tortillas... I thought my wrist were going to fall off by the time I got done. The dough was really stiff and about like elastic, you'd stretch it out and it'd bounce back.... so you can imagine how it felt rolling out 100 of them. (actually it was over 100, the head cook said I rolled about 130 or so, but 100 is an easier number for me... LOL!) But in-spite of my aching arms I did enjoy being able to help out again. I haven't lost my enthusiasm for the camp yet. :-) Carrol Stepan brought us home again.... We got home around 9:30 or so.... kind of late but the kitchen work didn't end till then. :-)
I have an unspoken prayer request for you all.... Just pray for wisdom about a situation up here, especially for us older girls. Thanks very much. :-)
