Filling the Freezer, An Easy Afternoon

 The Ridge

On Friday, July 8^th Bill was up and off to work at 6:45. I felt happy that I didn’t have to work today but I felt sad that he did. He’s a trooper, my sweetie is. ♥ So, after getting up on time to say goodbye, Gibbs and I went for a walk to the corner of North Line and Baptist Church Road. It was a really nice morning. 😊

Bill had to go to work

Back home, I made my tea and had some cereal. I was feeling hungry for it. I touched up the grocery list and left Gibbs in charge of the Suite. He got into his position on my dining chair and waited for his treat, which he seldom eats until we get home. He’s so good now when we have to go out, sometimes a whimper when it is both of us but, generally a very good little guy.

This morning's walk

I thought it was going to be a bright day 
but the clouds won for the most of it

 You can go now, Mom.
       I'm ready. 💕

I drove B.B. to Hanover and filled my cart with everything we needed. The only thing I couldn’t find was some kind of frozen fish filets. Bummer. I heard an announcement while shopping that Debit cards were not working. There was a problem with their internet connection so we needed to be prepared. I always use self-checkout because I like to bag my own and don’t fancy waiting in line if I can get out quicker.

I was prepared to either pay cash or credit card. I also really like the friendly staff who work at self-checkout and today they were going to be pushed to the max, explaining about the debit transactions. It came to more than I expected but I was still prepared to pay cash if I had to. Luckily, my credit card worked with no issues and I was on my way with many bags of food.

The back seat is full of food

Gibbs helped me unload, you know, running back and forth with me each time and he came in when I called him. I’m sure he thinks he’s helping Mom. ♥ I had a load of meat, especially, and it felt good to fill that freezer up again. It meant we had good options for our meals again. I separated the packages of chops, chicken thighs and ribs before I made myself a cup of coffee and had a snack for lunch.

Gibbs discovered something for him!

We were in and out a few times and each time, Gibbs came within a minute when I called him. Inside, I did a thorough vacuuming, the floors were quite dirty. Bill came home before 2, which was really good for a Friday. He’d even managed to stop at Walmart and Canadian Tire in Hanover to pick up a few things he needed that I couldn’t get for him. 😊

We dozed in our chairs, all 3 of us, and then I went to the Bunky and Bill went to the Hangar. Gibbs was on his leash just outside my door and enjoyed keeping an eye on things for us and dozing in the grass. When Bill came up at 6, we moved inside to start supper. His response earlier to ‘What do you want for supper?’ was ‘grilled cheese’ so although I rebutted with ‘how about toasted tomato?’, I knew it was an easy meal to prep.

This should keep us going for a while

Here we are with all that meat in the freezer and we still want simple. Go figure but it’s Friday night! Bill went for water at the Acreage and I worked on my blog. Be prepared,  my laptop cord has a booboo and so the battery doesn't last. I have ordered a new one but it could be a couple of weeks. 

Simple but quite good
with an ice cream cone for dessert

This was a wonderful day and although cloudy for most of it, the sun returned by 6:30. 😊

Thankyou for stopping around.
