The Ridge
On Tuesday, Sept. 6th I didn’t hear Bill get up to take Gibbs out nor did I hear him get up for work. I was in the midst of a strange dream; one I was happy to wake up from. It was 7 when I finally got up, just in time to say goodbye to Bill. Black Beauty was going back in to a shop in Hanover to get the alignment checked so Bill took her again today and Billy picked him up on the way to their job site. I didn’t have to clean so as soon as Bill left, I hopped in the shower. Our short work week has begun.
A nice day for a walk 
The lawn and front boulevard look so nice after a cut
Gibbs and
I went for a walk once my hair was dry and I could tell that it was going to
warm up nicely. It was around 13C/56F but there was a clear blue sky and a
beautiful sun to change those numbers. I had cereal with half a peach before
making my coffee-to-go in my thermos. I drove around the corner to M’s shop for
9:30. I did a bit of taping and then sanding on an interior door for M’s own
apartment this time.

We’ve got
the front rental all fixed up, he wanted to do something for himself. 😉 I worked outside and soon felt the heat of that sun as it
moved around to the southwest of his building. Back home, Gibbs was a quiet
little greeter with no collar and so I let him outside to run around freely. He
didn’t go far and we played chase the ‘toy’ (that’s what we call it) together
for a while and then just relaxed in the sun and shade while I read my book.
Gibbs hears a car and runs to sit on the step
He isn't on leash or bark collar and he doesn't bark
Bill
called about the results of the truck and now there is something else that is
in question. LOL, all things regarding safe driving need to be addressed but
when it is something we’ve never heard of, we need to follow up with caution. I
also had a call from Kaitlyn (the Mat) and we caught up on things regarding
machine repairs etc. For now, a weekly update with each other is a good thing.
I go for sun
Gibbs chooses shade
When Bill
was on his way home, he called for me to pick him up at Grey Bruce Fleet
Services. He’d picked B.B. up and we were leaving it with Kate for them to
check it over tomorrow. Gibbs and I met him there and we all drove home
together after getting our 5-gallon water jug filled. It was almost 5:30 when
we returned so he and Gibbs dozed and I was able to finish my book quietly
beside them. ♥
Such a
good book! I enjoyed it a lot and have now added 4 more with the same character
to my ‘Want to Read’ section on Goodreads. I just have to get my hands on the
books. 😊 Supper was grilled sausages in a bun
with ice cream for dessert. Mine was in a cone and we just had enough to give
us each a taste. I’ll have to pick up more when it goes on sale.
A nice little meal
The sausages were great!
We washed
the thermoses and Bill made his lunch. BTW, Gibbs has still got funny eating
habits but is at least eating one really good meal a day, sometimes two. My
program was on at 8 so I worked on my blog while watching it. This has been a
nice day, warming up to 21C/70F. Summer hasn’t left us yet! ♥

Thank you
for taking the time to see what we’re up to today! Your comments are always
appreciated.
Another nice day for you. Sure hope the BB is okay to travel without further expense. Fuel will be bad enough. Luckily, I only need to drive the Jeep out with a trailer.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug. A follow up on my next post.
DeleteWow, you are so kind to share the ice cream. I would have quietly gobbled it down outside away from Bill and Gibbs. I like Gibbs little chair (or lounge?), looks so comfortable. I wouldn 't mind an adult size one myself to put on the patio. Sun looks nice and bright and I hope you have more summer weather before Autumn sets in. Have fun
ReplyDeleteHaha too funny about the ice cream. Gibbs does like his little outdoor bed.
DeleteThe property looks lush and pretty. Glad that Gibbs is shaping up and 45 days on the countdown clock! It's sure counting down fast it seems.
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes things are looking bright in all ways. Time is really flying by!
DeleteOooooh ice cream!! I've recently discovered if you drive slower, the fuel lasts much longer. Still trying to find that sweet spot with my truck. It's exciting to think about being back on the road. It's funny that Cooper and Gibbs seem to have the same eating habits. Now I just wait for him to go to the kitchen and bark.
ReplyDeleteThat's true about fuel. Our sweet spot pulling is around 63 mph. Without the trailer, we don't have one. For me it's about 90 km/hr.
DeleteYour sausage on a bun looked like the bratwurst we had for dinner yesterday too. Mine had sweet green relish and tomatoes, Benno had caramelized onions and mushrooms with it. Love the photo over the pond with Gibbs in the corner.
ReplyDeleteI ran out of sweet green relish so used hot dog relish instead.
DeleteThank you Marlene. Pond pics are always a fan of mine too.
Gibbs is definitely a smart dog. He's sure learned quickly.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the truck repairs. It's good that you're getting it done well ahead of time of your travel.
Thank you, Maebeme. It isn't taking Gibbs too long at all to learn things. Too bad he didn't get the 'no bark 'thing before the collar.
DeleteI even lose track of what day it is, so I don't even think of short weeks!
