Time with Friends, Late Post! Oh No!

The Ridge

On Saturday, Aug. 31^st when Bill woke up at 4 am, he heard the water pump running, pretty steady. It has been acting up over the last month, seemingly running for longer spurts each day. Not a big deal right now. However, when he noticed that we were out of water (woops!) he shut the pump off and told me (at 6:15) that he was going to the Acreage to fill the bladder. ☹

Good morning!
It was lovely once the clouds cleared out.

I felt bad for him as he had planned to go flying with Ken at 8. It was a lovely morning to fly so I even felt worse that he’d be late going. He didn’t seem too bothered, taking the bull by the horns and doing what needed to be done for the good of our lifestyle. ♥ When he returned and had transferred the water, we washed and they left around 8:45 for the field.

I texted Kim and invited her to do some yard sale ‘touring’ around town and the area. She jumped at the chance. Donna and Gerry would be at the Acreage around 10 so we waited until 10:20 and drove over to pick her up as well. It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. I can’t recall exactly how many we stopped at but it was less than 10 and more than 5, some big, some small, most productive for Donna and I. We walked away with at least one thing each time. 😉

At Robin's, Mildred greeted and then got
bored with all the chatter. 💖

Last stop before dropping my sister off was Robin’s sale. The girls have both met her before so it was a nice little visit while poking around. The rest of the afternoon, we hung out with the guys, never a lull in our conversation.

Supper was delicious
with Ken's homemade pickles to boot!

I ate so much! Yummy!

The Wilson’s provided our supper tonight which was a treat, we’re spoiled! It was peameal bacon on a bun, hash brown casserole and Caesar salad. Yum!

The evening was calm but cooled off
quickly. I had to get my Quartzsite poncho out.

Aunt Donna. She knows the good spots. ♥

After the meal, which we ate outside at our picnic table, Bill rekindled the fire he’d started earlier. The winds died down and Donna and Gerry joined us around 7:30. It was a nice evening together, sometimes laughing until our cheeks hurt (usually at one our own expenses), and we parted ways by 10:00. It was a great fire!

Bill kept it roaring all night.

The temperature today reached 25C/77F feeling hotter than that in the sun but the breeze made it lovely. We truly had a great day!

Good night!

Thank you for stopping in.
