The BNB and Company!

The Ridge

On Monday, July 28th I remained in bed until 7 am. I was plenty comfortable and had slept well. Bill was up with Gibbs around 6:30. Nothing unusual there, but it sure was nice that they slept in an extra hour today. No alarm to get Bill moving. 😁

Good morning!
Playtime, Gibbs?

He had decided to get out the weed whacker and finish what he started the other night. I went out, cleaned the outhouse, watered my vegetables and put out the reservation sign on the 'premier' site beside Mike's. Company was coming today for a few days.

Site reserved for Wilson

At 9:30, I left to go and clean the Williamsford bnb. Already, 6 weeks has gone by and Robin has to take Andrew to the airport. The house was left in good condition so I went about stripping, then remaking beds and everything else involved to prepare it for 5 guests tonight.

Taking the back roads

At 11:30, I was on my way home. Bill and I had some lunch and then we sat outside together with Gibbs.

It was another hot day so we sat in the shade. I took my book out around 2:15 and it was almost 2:30 exactly when Ken and Kim drove up in their Journey. 💗

Waiting for company

The Journey arrives.

Ken set up while Kim, Bill and I sat in the screen tent, waiting for him to join us. There wasn't enough shade in there for 4 of us so we moved over to the firepit area. Let's just say we had a long Happy Hour, as usual on our first night together. 

Happy Hour(s)
but who's counting?

We discussed all things and without mentioning what time we broke up, we went our own way to have supper. Sssh! Bill and I had the leftover turkey roast, potatoes and coleslaw. It didn't look like much but it filled us except for a tiny hole - hmm just enough room for a homemade butter tart!!

Love those cloud speckled skies!
The sun peeks through the trees
as we scrounge for every morsel of shade.

Thank you, Ken, er.........Door Dash, it was delicious! Bill washed the few cups that don't go in the dishwasher and while I finished my blog, he went upstairs with Gibbs. We've had the a/c running today again, it reached a high of 31C/88F and was quite necessary.

Supper looked the same as last night
EXCEPT for this scrumptious dessert.

There was a pleasant breeze throughout the day but not steady. We've enjoyed today and especially the fact that our friends are here. We always have a great time.

Good night!

Thank you for your visit too!
