Just Like That the Vacation is Over

The Ridge

Sunday, Aug. 14^th was our last ‘low-key’ day for a while so we made the best of it. I was up around 7 and on my way to Durham by 7:15. There was only one customer when I arrived and 2 more came in before I left. All men. I find that very interesting, maybe they’re all single. No judgement, it’s just interesting. We had sorted our 2 loads of laundry and it was finished in record time. I was on my way home by 8:30.

A cloudy morning and an empty lot
up here on the Ridge.

Bill had left for the flying field. He has really enjoyed flying this week, most mornings. 😊 I knew our forecast was for a teensy chance of rain today but even though it was cloudy, heavy white clouds, I hung the clothes on the line. There weren’t too many and I could spread them out easily. There wasn’t much of a breeze at all but it was warm enough to dry them.

"where did everybody go?"

Gibbs and I went out to the Bunky to work on the puzzle. He wasn’t much help but I did have him on the rope so he didn’t wander and I didn’t have to keep checking on him. I made great headway on it, the shells and feet being the tricky parts. Bill got home around 12:30 and we came in for lunch. I had a stir fry with my green pepper from the garden, some ham, tomato and yellow zucchini. It was delicious.

He got hot outside and came in for a cooler rest

For a couple of hours, I spent time on the puzzle and then we drove over to the Acreage for a visit with Donna and Gerry. Gibbs was his normal silly self and had fun. It got quite hot in the sun as Donna and I worked on some New York Times crosswords. They are tough but we enjoy trying them anyway. She works on a few at a time and they last for the summer. 😊

I think it's a good thing I work tomorrow
This puzzle will be done sooner than later

Back home, we went back to our hobbies and at 6 Bill grilled our bacon cheese burgers. They were just as good as always. After loading the dishwasher, Bill made his lunch. ☹ Yup, vacation is over and we’re both back to the jobs tomorrow. As I look out my window, I see a hummingbird at a feeder. Yay! I’m glad they’re back for another visit. We watched some tv, Red 2, and I tried to get caught up on my blog.

The clouds were quite prominent all day.
Our nights are warming up again though.
12C/54F is nice for sleeping.
Good night y'all!

This was another one of those good days. Thank you for coming by!
