Taking a Break to Earn Some Cash, Birthday Boy!

The Ridge

On Tuesday, Sept. 30th I woke up at 5:30 and rolled over to give my Sweetie a kiss before he got up. "Good morning and happy birthday". His turn to jump into another year of fun and adventure! 😉😄 

Good morning
and
Happy Birthday, Bill!

He was up and ready for work, leaving shortly after 6:30. I had no where to be until 11 am, so made my tea and sat with Gibbs to play my online Wordle games. I've been on the hunt for the copy of our eye glass prescriptions for the last couple of days, as we both need to upgrade this year. Bill, especially. We can still get them checked down there. 

I took the opportunity to
slip up to the berm and see
the sun come up.

Before I knew it, I had to leave for Williamsford to clean the bnb for Robin, so will deal with it later. When I arrived at the house at 11:10, the guests had not left and were no where in sight other than a vehicle in the drive.

That's when I noticed our
very own beautiful tree!
It was just tiny when I planted
my original garden up there,
now look at it!

I drove past and texted, then called Robin. Hmm, did I miss something? She and Andrew were on a flight to Saskatchewan so wasn't able to answer. I drove around town before coming back to make it obvious that I was waiting......about 75' from the lane.

Finally, they moseyed out, 4 of them, and proceeded, very slowly, to put socks and shoes on at the vehicle, in and out, in and out..........finally pulling out at 11:35. I was perturbed, I don't do well with obvious rudeness. They left, and (no, I didn't squeal tires) I quickly pulled in. LOL

The house was left so-so but in and out with shoes on, had freshly cut grass throughout. Dishes in the drying rack, burnt saucepan, another one sticky with ?? and water all over the kitchen and bathroom counters. Anyway, I went to work and informed Robin. She likes to give reviews too.

Robin said to throw
it out, but I tried baking soda
and boiling water (+ elbow grease)
and ta-dah!

By the time I finished cleaning and taking their bag of garbage out (they left it sitting on the kitchen floor with an empty bin outside the door), I locked up and left. With a quick message to M, who needed to go to town when I was able, I drove straight to his house.

That was a 2-stop hour, town was a zoo and he was longer in each store than usual. It was hot, sitting in the car, and that was mainly felt because we are usually there in the morning when the sun is at my back while I'm parked. Do I sound irritable? Well, not really, I earned $70. 💗

Country road with too much
reflection. Sorry.

Back home, Gibbs was excited to see me and met me with Goat in his mouth. It was almost 3 so no point in going to the Bunky. Giving myself a break from that, I finished my J.E. book and made myself a cup of tea in my newly glued mug. Thanks, Dear.

Speaking of........today is Bill's special day. Not a special # but really, the older we get, all of them are special, aren't they? I hope he is having a good day at work. Today, they started at Port Elgin on a upper deck repair at ReMax's realty office. 

Of course, I made him
a card.

After an almost 'non-work-week' last week, he is anxious for some hours this one. 😉 I brought the burnt pot home from the bnb, boiled some baking soda and water in it and was able to scrub it clean. I'm happy about that, they are decent pots.

The birthday boy was home at 4:45, just after Gibbs went outside for a bit. I'm finding the winds cool today, maybe because we haven't had much wind over the last week. The sun is warm but it isn't making much difference to me. I need a hoody out there. (wimp)

We were low on water so since there is no rest for the wicked OR birthday boys, Bill drove to the Acreage within minutes of arriving home. My hero. 💖 Grilled bacon cheeseburgers for supper had him still 'at it' until we sat down to eat. Yummy. 

This pretty tree is in Williamsford.

I finally figured out how to put a dvd in to watch tonight, seems since we got Starlink, things became more complicated in that department. Anyway, I'm going to watch the only Janet Evanovich book that was made into a movie! I get to see who plays Morelli and Ranger.....Katherine Heigl will be fun as Stephanie Plum. 

Delicious!

It was a good day. M called before supper and wished Bill a happy birthday and needed nothing else. That was nice! Ha ha. Yvonne and Marilynne called after supper too. We reached 22C/72F today which is pretty decent.

This picture was posted at his
50th & 60th parties
so if he was 'over the hill' then,
what is he now? 
💓
Good night!

Thank you for your pop in!
