Cleaning and Experiencing Sadness

The Ridge

On Friday, July 25th it was around 6:15 again when I got up. Seems, if I'm in bed by 9:30, my body has had enough sleep after 9 hours! Ha ha. I'm a morning person and that explains my early to bed, early to rise habit.

Good morning!
Yay, my moonflowers are coming back!

Bill left at 6:30 and I headed in to the Mat to clean at 6:45. The door must have just unlocked on its own timer a minute or so before I arrived. 

I understand finding muddy floors after the rain,
no problem, but 12 lint sheets?
Come on!

There were 3 customers, one new and two regular. One being my friend, Trudy; I haven't seen her for a couple of weeks so we had a good catchup.

Sorry Trudy, caught her off guard
but she is such a nice young lady.

We show each other the crafts we've made in the meantime. For her, she crochets like crazy something she taught herself since April when she quit smoking. She sells her wares and they are so darned cute. She also makes puppy cookies so will bring me a few for Gibbs to try next time. 

I was home shortly after 8:30 and decided on an outfit for a visitation Dot and I were going to. Dot picked me up at 10 and we drove to Flesherton. Our good friend, Pat, her daughter, Sandra and Bill have lost another family member. As usual, it was a sad affair, Shawn was a young 35 year old.

Such a handsome young man,
gone too soon.

We stayed for over an hour, had a tea and snack with Pat and returned home to Gibbs. Yes, he was excited that Dot stopped to say hello and we sat on the patio catching up over the lunch hour. I'm sure, if we'd let him, Gibbs would have been in her truck, but he finally came back and sat with me to watch her leave. 

Bill got home just as I finished a tomato and lettuce sandwich. Home grown tomatoes!! Oh my, what a difference in taste! It was delicious. 

We drove over to the Acreage to get water and help Donna and Gerry put the cover on their shelter. It is a 4 person job!

Okay, 8 hands were too many for this part
so I supervised with Gibbs and took a picture.

Supper was fish and chips for Bill and fish, fried mushrooms, reheated cauliflower and fresh tomatoes for me. Quite a mixed-up combination but it filled me. Maybe chips and cheese later, we'll see. I worked on my blog and Bill went out to dump our black tank. He took B.B. down to prepare for his morning of flying. Guess what?? My sweetie is on vacation for a week!! 💗💗💗

Tough job supervising in the heat!
He was glad we were going home
but doesn't want to be left behind!

This was a good day, even though sad, we visited with some close friends too. It will either be reading or more tv episodes tonight and I'll be in bed by 10.

It all tasted great. I need to get
the mushrooms eaten up before they go bad.

I hope your weather has been good to you. The rain last night was very welcome and the day 'after the storm' turned lovely. We had a high today of 27C/80F but felt like 33C/92F.

I'm sure this is why I don't dust often.
Good night!

Thanks for stopping in!
