You Say We Need Rain?

The Ridge

On Thursday, June 19th I woke up from a sound sleep at 5:30, just when Bill and Gibbs were coming back in from their morning constitution. I was happy to see that I had an hour before I had to get up and rolled over and opened my little window.

Good morning!
It didn't look any different all day,

It had cooled off a bit but the fresh air was still very nice. The other bedroom windows were open all night. 😊 Bill was prepping for work when I came down for a goodbye kiss. Then I got ready for my own morning job.

There was no one there and I'm grateful for that. There were 3 new notes on machines, 2 with no writing, so I set about testing them all. I agree with one and the other two worked fine so I put the notes back in the folder. S**t disturbers! 

I picked up 14, seriously 14!, dryer sheets from the floor, out of dryers or in the carts before I did anything else. I went through the Lost & Found box and discarded the single socks from over a week ago and discovered 'new' items added. They got folded and put back in the box. 😕

When I opened 'door #1' washer to see if it had an odor (it is unplugged with the door closed), water rushed out onto my foot and the floor. I slammed it closed quickly and ran to get the mop - again. I also brought the bucket out and put it as close to the door as possible and opened it again.

I couldn't leave it like that in case a customer  or the maintenance guy did the same thing. I had to scoop it outto get it below the door line, finished mopping the floor and left an hour and a half later. Yup, he can pay me for that clean up! 😆

From the Mat, I drove to Battery Pro and got a bottle of water filled from Mark before heading for home. It has been spitting since we got up and doesn't expect to stop all day. It's a good day to be working or doing anything inside. 

I stayed in with Gibbs until 11 and then had cheese and crackers for lunch and made a coffee to-go. I left the house at 11:30 and drove back to Owen Sound, about 40 minutes away. I needed to clean the Air bnb at Williamsford but not until AFTER 1 pm.

With a few more items on my list at Michaels and Dollar Tree that I didn't remember on Tuesday, I could go there first before stopping to clean on the way home. I made a couple of other stops, at Canadian Tire for a tire tube for Lila and Walmart for the Coke we forgot for Bill. 

I was ready to leave around 4:30.

I was my regular 1.5 hours for Robin and then stopped at her house to drop off the recycle and garbage before returning to the Ridge. Her hubby, Andrew, gets home today so she was busy - and very happy, I'm sure. He's been gone 6 weeks!

Wet or not, this is always a
welcome sight to return to. 💕

Bill was home when I arrived around 5ish and after a nice chat with Duncan (& Patty) I made supper. Linguini and shrimp tonight for a change. It wasn't bad at all and a one dish meal. We had cherry pie for desserts, those single serve ones. 😋

A different choice for us but
it was quite tasty.

It has been a pretty yeuchy day, all day, non-stop rain and a cool 19C/65F. We need the rain so we don't dare complain. The summers of our youth are certainly a thing of the past, eh? Bill went upstairs to watch a movie while I worked on my blog.

I only buy these fruit pies when they are on sale.
These were .73¢ each so I bought 2.

It has been a busy day, some by choice, and I'm thrilled with the things I found at the craft store. It may open up some possibilities for making more jewellery. Maybe. Ha! 

Last year on this day...
a different story.

I hope your weather was acceptable too, for whatever reason! For those of you who, like me, tend to not go back and check on comments made on other blogs.......thank you for all the lovely comments on my amateur drawing and on my dyed dress. You are all very kind. 💓

And we were at the Durham hospital with
Bill's swollen knee.
Good night!

Thank you for stopping by. Not many pictures today so I hope my babble hasn't put you to sleep. 😴
