Saturday Chores, A Visit and A Surprise Meetup

 The Ridge

On Saturday, July 19th I was up and mobile by 6:30. For Bill and Gibbs, it was earlier than that. I was pleasantly surprised when Bill already had the clothes sorted into two loads and had the basket downstairs.

Good morning!

All I had to do was wash, get dressed, make my tea and head out the door. 💖 He's a keeper! I was alone at the Mat, and had our clothes washed and the place cleaned within the hour. The forecast for the day was some early sunshine, later clouds and rain this evening.

When the sky is like this, 
I just have to take pictures.

That meant I could hang the clothes, which I did when I returned around 8:30. I sat with Gibbs for an hour or so and when Donna texted that she was on her way to Durham, I grabbed water and made my way into town again. I met her at the Credit Union and hopped in the Honda.

Do you see some colour?
I see some colour!

Today was another visit to Cathy in Owen Sound. With things looking favourable, it looked like she would be going home on Wednesday. 💕There would be a 'car-transference test' and a bit of training for her son and daughter-in-law on Monday. 

It runs in the family, this
thrift shop sleuthing!
It was great to see Myrtle Jean,

We found her in the rehabilitation wing behind the hospital and she had her own room, looking quite chipper. We had a nice visit and caught up on all the goings-on before walking down the hall with her to lunch. She is doing really well, determined!

Donna and I love this cafe for lunch.
Quiche and potato bacon soup.
Yummy!

Donna and I left her after hugs and drove to the Mission Store, just down the street. It has been a long time since I've been there and I found a few interesting things. A foam block for, what else?, blocking, 3 new dining chair covers, 2 J.E. books, a lovely soft, navy sweater, long stylish top and a Bubba mug. All for $32. 😀

I'm happy with my purchases

We bumped into one of our cousins, on Daddy's side, whom we haven't seen for a very long time.Funny how those chance meetings happen, it was on a whim that we all decided to stop in the store at all. We need to put something together to get those cousins in one place!

Here is where I found my hubby.
Playing with his planes. 😊

We went to the European Bakery & Cafe again for lunch at 1 pm and had the quiche and bacon, potato soup. Oh my. I shouldn't have had the cup of tea, it made me 'almost' feel too full! I won't need much for supper. 😉 Donna dropped me at Ptooties before 3 and I came home to my boys.

Let's play, run around the plane, Mom!

We drove over to the Acreage for a quick check on their trailer, a couple of issues to address and we chit-chatted with Gerry who was cutting the grass out there. It's a comfortable day, not hot, not cold and not wet (yet). Bill wasn't too hungry for much either so we munched on ice cream and fruit. LOL

No, Gibbs, I'd rather you pose nicely
for my pictures.

It was a good day, clean laundry, a double sister visit and even a surprise cousin meetup! I am grateful. We reached a 25C/77F today and by 7, still no rain.

Bill wastes no time climbing up
on the roof of Gerry's Landmark
to help locate a problem.
That's just Bill for ya.

Good night!
