The Ridge
Thursday, Sept. 29th was a pleasant change to the day. The morning was dry and although cool at 3C/37F, no wind to make it feel any colder than that. Bill said at 6 that the sky was clear with stars but at 7:00 some clouds had passed over the Ridge. He left for work in Black Beauty at 7:30 and called me later, telling me the lower fuel price in Hanover. Ptooties was at ½ tank.
The sky to the East provided us with a morning show when the sun prepared to arrive |
Bill has
been taking the truck because his morning commute is only 20 minutes and he
also knows that I need the car with all my running around. 😉 I finished my tea and my games while sitting with Leroy Jethro
Gibbs and hopped in the shower. I couldn’t even tell you what time I left the
Suite but arrived in Hanover myself for just a few things this time. First stop was the Pioneer gas station where I filled up at $1.39.3/litre. In Durham, the price had increased to $1.53.9 so I'm glad Bill called.
From the east hill, the view across the pond is pretty Like I said, a beautiful morning.
The list
has grown 98% smaller with all purchases crossed off now so I’m happy about
that. Now just the ‘doing’ stuff and that’s why Friday is important! I was back
home within an hour and a half quite pleased with myself. I can’t tell you how
great it feels to have a sunny day. I had my jacket off within half hour and my
plan was to get outside with Gibbs a few times this afternoon.
a nice drive to town with a few pretty trees |
I didn’t plan
much for lunch and when I warmed up some leftover cream of chicken soup, it was
gross. It was Campbells but one of those no salt added ones. Blech! I couldn’t
finish it so dumped it and had cheese, avocado and pepperoni instead. That
would get me through to supper. I can’t say what I did for the rest of the day
but it was all focused on Saturday’s party. 😉
Even the bushes in the ditch are hanging
colour
This is gorgeous!My favourite North Line tree is starting to change
It was a
great day to be out in the Bunky finishing things up. Gibbs ran around as if he
too was free for the first time. He’s also been cooped up through all the rainy
days. He had fun and stayed close to me without having to be coerced back. ♥ We walked down to the mailbox and on to the corner around 3:30. Bill was home just after 4 today and after having a brief shut-eye, we
went out together to dump the black tank.

With the
mower down the road at the repair shop, it meant pulling the blue boy by hand
so I went to help. It was a good thing because I think I truly got the process
today. Next time, I will go out again and do more so it sinks in. 😊 I’d like to be a better rv’ing partner and that will help. We
also put the hammock and the umbrella away in the storage shed for the winter.
Grilled
sausages and leftovers fried on the stove was our supper. We finished off the
keto crumble, cleaned up the dishes and then relaxed for the evening. My blog
may or may not get finished tonight. I hope so, tomorrow is a busy day.Gibbs was waiting for his Daddy
and only issued very few barks
Supper was easy to prepare and delicious Good night! |
This was a good day and I thank you for stopping around! Your comments are always appreciated.
Excitement can be felt in your words. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteDeb
ah thanks! :)
DeleteIt always feels so good to get things crossed off the list!
ReplyDeleteIt sure does and I'm getting excited about the party.
DeleteI filled up last week at 158.9 and was happy because it jumped to 175.9 here this week! Yikes.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your preparations today.
Thank you Maebeme. You got in under the wire for gas, yay!
DeleteI agree with Deb, can feel the excitement! Can't wait for pictures of the party! Our gas is jumping daily here, makes me so mad. Media even says the gas companies are making record level profits! No one who can do anything about it cares apparently. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirley. The gas prices are the ones moving, the diesel seems to be sitting still right now at 1.78/litre
DeleteStill have almost a full tank, but we don't have to drive as much as you do. I am a bit worried about the cost of the fuel for the sons to come home for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the party.
God bless.
It drives us nuts too about the fuel prices. Travelling is a part of many lives and they are gouging us. I hope the boys make it home next weekend.
