Friday is Here! A Bit of This and That

 The Ridge

On Friday, Sept. 19th we were both up early, by 6:30 at least. I slept well again until 6 and then did my stretches until it was time to get moving. Bill left at  6:45 for work (Kincardine not Listowel) and I left for Durham 10 minutes later.

Good morning!
A different view this morning.
Low fog over the fields
and low clouds over Durham.

Another day on my own, just perfect! I washed the comforter that was left in L & F plus the work rags that I've used over the past month. There are quite a few so when they get dirty, I just drop them in a pail and grab a clean one.

Sometimes when purging, I find
things I'd forgotten about.
This wig, I've had for decades and still won't part with it.
I only wish my real hair was this thick!
I managed to purge about 20 items of clothing
so feel good about that. 
I was ruthless!

With the Mat clean, the rags dried, I bagged the comforter with the sheets I'd washed a week or so ago and dropped them at Rethreads door. Someone else may as well get use out of them. The store sells items very reasonably priced.

My own little outdoor picnic.

On the way home, I stopped at the Shell station and cashed in my Lotto Max ticket for a free one and picked up another 649 ticket. Do I feel lucky? Ha, it hasn't worked yet but one day, perhaps. Back home, Gibbs and I hung around inside the Suite.

Our own trees are starting
the colour process.

He slept mostly, while I purged. I emptied bathroom cupboards, taking inventory of sorts and removing things we don't use. Then I moved to my bedroom closet - again. I have a lot of things to pass on to the exchange so got to work.

Gibbs guarded me while I ate.
He's watching down the lane in between naps.

I felt much better when I stopped but I still have one more drawer to go through. I won't be at the exchange this year, it's booked for the day we leave. 😐 That's disappointing but I'm not the host. It was lunch time and I took a plate out to the picnic table with Gibbs.

Helping me quill, as usual.

The sun felt lovely, although it was cool indoors. Bill was expected home early today and so I went to do some quilling while I waited. It was 2 pm when he drove in, right on time. He hooked up the dump trailer and drove to Durham's dum to empty it.

My driver was in short sleeves
but I found the air cool so wore my
leather jacket, done right up to my neck.

When he returned, he changed and we hopped on Jazz for my bank appointment. My RRSP needed attention. When we returned, he and Gibbs had their snooze and I quilled some more. I want to be prepared in case someone cancels their table. 🤞

The donut tree, starting to change
at the top and that red tree, in its glory.
Notice the ground around it now though?

Baptist Church Road is getting
prettier too.

Before 6, we went back into town for our Catch the Ace draw and were pleased that our friend at Impact Tire won tonight. Not the big one, just the weekly draw. Yay Jackie! We had grilled cheese sandwiches for supper and cleaned up the mugs and frypan used.

Ron stepped in for Deidter
again this week and who says adults
can't have fun?
These guys are a hoot!

I sat to write, it already seems late at 8 pm. It is getting dark so early now. Bummer. This has been a busy but a good day. No rest for the wicked, they say, so that must explain it! 😂 We reached 20C/68F this afternoon but the air felt cool on the bike for me.

Grilled cheese and onion.
A quick late tasty supper.

Thank you for your suggestions of a chiropractor but there are other things I would rather do than go to one. Even putting up with it. I don't mean to offend in my beliefs but I don't have faith in them. I believe it to be a $$ grab since everyone I know, has to continue going - for years. I don't mean to whine for sympathy and apologize if it seems like that. Okay, enough of that!

A memory from Sept. 19, 2019
shows my garden bursting with 
healthy vegetables.
What a difference!
Good night!

Thank you for popping in. I do appreciate your comments.
