The Weekend Ends on a High Note

The Ridge

On Sunday, July 9^th Bill was up first. Gibbs slept in until 6:35 which was nice. Bill stayed up and Gibbs and I slept for another half hour. I felt like having a bowl of Life cereal this morning, so that’s what I did, while Bill had his. He was all ready to go before 8 as Black Beauty was still hooked up to the cargo trailer.

A morning walk for a change

Gibbs and I sat while I finished my tea and then I slipped on a light jacket and we went for our morning walk. I haven’t made too much of a commitment for walks lately and I’m sure Gibbs is fully aware of my absence of energy. 😊 We walked to the corner before we turned around for home. I let him off the leash to come up the lane and he walked slowly within 2 feet of me.

At least I know how to disassemble
and reassemble a dv player now. LOL

We have a new collar for Gibbs, one that only makes a sound and vibrates and only when we use the remote to do so. It isn’t a bark collar, it is a correction collar for when he strays to the far field, over the fence or wherever he is out of sight and does not respond to our call. It arrived Friday and he is the best little guy since we started using it. We only put it on him occasionally but are very impressed. He does not get a shock or a static buzz. 

the drive to Gayles

So, today, one of my goals was to tidy the Bunky and I did that for about an hour. I wanted to test the old dvd player out there and when the tray wouldn’t open, I took it apart to see what the problem was. Then, 8 tiny screws later, out and then in, I was no better off. The player is toast but at least now I know. No point in it taking up space.

Gibbs was such a

good boy

It looked like it might rain but by the time Bill returned from flying, we had nothing. It was a mild enough day but not a lot of sun today at all. Bill and Gibbs dozed upstairs while I made rice pudding for supper. We were invited, along with my 2 other sisters and hubbies, to Gayle and John’s so Donna and I contributed with the dessert portion. 😊

It was a wonderful meal.

Gibbs was invited and with his collar on him, he behaved so good. We had a lovely visit and a delicious meal of roast, potatoes, turnip, carrots and corn. Yum! A true Sunday night meal. ♥ It was mainly a get together but they also wanted to share the information that they’d sold their house. Well, we all knew (sort of) but now seeing the sign, it was official. Congratulations!

As we ate, Gibbs slept under the table
I'm sure the calming effect is from the collar

We left around 8 and when we got home, Gibbs ate his supper too. It was a good day and a nice way to end it with family.
