An Early Departure, Quiet Afternoon, Being an Author

The Ridge

Bill and I were up around 7 on Sunday, Sept. 22^nd and we could hear rain. Actually, a few times during the early morning hours we heard wind and rain. With all the windows open in the Suite, we slept well otherwise. Before Bill came to bed, he had pulled the awnings in in case it was windy. When we saw Jeff and Joan come out of the Bunky with Aurora, we knew they were loading their vehicle.

Aurora is ready to get going

I invited them in for a coffee so they put Aurora in their vehicle with her blanket. She’s used to that, travelling in the truck a lot to rc flying shows a lot. While drinking our coffees, we each showed them a few things on the laptops, pictures of Arizona and Graceland etc. They are quite impressed with the lifestyle we are living and soaked it all in. Around 9, they said goodbye and headed off down the lane. It was a nice visit but one day is long enough. We have things to do.

I debated going in to see Mom but instead sat at my computer and worked on my post from the previous day.  Then I puttered away on my photo book. I was getting close to finishing when I exited without saving. OH, MY GOODNESS!!! The air was a bit blue and I almost cried realizing that I’d lost 10 pages of writing and pictures. I’m sure we’ve all done it at some point in our life and it was stupid but I thought it was referring to something else. Anyway, I redid them to the best of my knowledge, saving each page as I went this time, and now just need to proofread it a couple of times and finish.

We all know what this is all about
They're beating us to the punch though

They came to the window to say s'long

In between doing those things, I made us bacon and eggs and I had a b.p. coffee. That hit the spot. 

Bill dumped the black tank and Gerry and Donna popped in on their way home from the Acreage to help us get our microwave down. It was easier coming down than it will be going up, so we’ll need his help again with our new one. 

Pretty but dead

so, out she goes

The rest of the afternoon was just hanging around, it got hot and the rain stopped for the rest of the day. I went out to the Bunky and stripped the sheets off the bed. Now the futon is set up as a couch again.

Joan gave us a nice basket of Niagara peaches

Before we knew it, it was time for supper and what I’d planned (warming up the leftover lasagna) needed a microwave so Bill took me into Durham to Snacks on 6. Rob and Pat said their fish and chips were very good so we thought we’d give them a try. This is a food truck near the edge of town. We each ordered one piece meals for take-out. They were ready in less than 10 minutes. Nice to eat back home and they were delicious! We’d go again for a fast dinner.

We cleaned up dishes and sat with our books listening to Elvis on Sirius XM radio. I was soon dropping off to sleep so shortly after 9:30 I went to bed. This was a nice day and we’re happy that our last overnight visits are done. Now we can focus on ourselves and the last things to do over the next month.

It was a tad windy today but my dress dried after

Good night all!
