Back in Motion

The Ridge

On Monday, July 18^th I was awake early too, and I don’t understand why. It was 4:45 when I looked at the ceiling reflection of our clock. Good grief! Gibbs moved at 5:45 and plopped himself across Bill’s neck. Bill said, “It’s not time, go back to sleep for a few minutes”. So, Gibbs without further ado moved to the bottom of the bed, between us and did just that. ♥

Before we get to today's pictures
After I posted last night,
The sky performed for us

Beautiful, huh?

Bill only had to go down the road to the Acreage, since it wasn’t raining so he took Black Beauty. I enjoyed sitting with Gibbs for a couple of hours before I had to go to work myself. It was a pretty easy day with a couple of errands for M taking up a couple of hours. I did some sanding on the Datsun so my gloves ended up covered in red dust before I left. At 12:30 I headed home and boy was it humid!

this seems to happen a lot
I often see a bird sitting on these bales

The temperature reached 27C/81F and I was glad that I only worked in the morning. I thought about Bill and the boys working at the Acreage, outside in that heat and hoped they were hydrating enough. Can’t tell most men that, especially not any I know! 😉 

When we walked to get the mail,
Gibbs headed down the road

I had a simple lunch, not feeling too hungry, but crackers and cheese seemed to fill the gap. Then I had my shower before Gibbs and I walked down to get the recycle bins and check mail.

I couldn't believe this car beside me
at the Ultramar station
I don't think I could fix this one up!

My order from Atlas for Men (& Women) was stuffed in the mailbox so I was happy to see my replacement items. I’d returned a pair of capris a week or so ago.  

The fuel prices are looking better

Gibbs wanted to stay out so we moved over to the Bunky, him on his rope, and I concentrated on the puzzle. I didn’t have it finished when we heard Bill coming up the lane and I let him inside with Gibbs. The little guy was keeping cook in the shade and the breeze but it was much nicer in the Suite with the a/c running.

Leaving Durham, I followed this travel trailer
It made me realize just how big our Suite tires are
I feel much safer than if we had these little things!

For supper, we had ‘Mom’s’ hamburger gravy with potatoes, corn for Bill and spinach for me. It was very good and although I probably didn’t need it, we had the last two pieces of cake. With the pots and pans done by hand, we loaded the dishwasher with the remaining dishes and let it run. I hope you’ve had a good day, I have!

Another tasty meal tonight
Good night!

Thank you for stopping in today.
