Meeting Quinn, Alexander Shows Off 💓

The Ridge

On Tuesday, Oct. 14th everything that was 'officially' Thanksgiving weekend, came to an end. We can and should still be thankful though for all the things we are blessed with in our lives. No end to that. 🦃🦃

Good morning!

I think our routine will slowly fall into place, now that Bill isn't working and mine is soon coming to an end........just like the weekend celebrations did. We were awake after 6:30 and after Gibbs went out, he and I slept in until 7:30. 

Bill has competition,
these burgers were delicious!

The only thing on our agenda today, well, the most important thing, was lunch with our newest granddaughter and grandson. It was time to meet Quinn! At 9:45 we pulled out of the lane and drove to Alma, about an hour from home.

Alexander has a BIG truck.
He lifted it up on this bench and watched
red and green tractors go by.
He's a happy little man.

Bill's 3rd daughter, Krystal, and husband, Matt, had invited us for lunch. Alexander was being a little Hallmark since the moment we walked in and entertained us with his tractors and blocks, making us coffee in his little kitchen and playing hockey/golf in and around our feet. He is a charmer!

Daddy was looking for his ball
under the couch.
Alexander helped. 😂

Alexander is 2 and helps his dad 
with the farming.
Sometimes, he plays hockey and sleeps in
the net. 💘

Now, Quinn. Quiet as a mouse, stole our hearts immediately. Such a tiny wee babe, 3 weeks old on Thursday, 7 lb. 7 oz. of sweetness. 💕💖👶🍼

Grandbabies are for cuddling.
Isn't she a sweetie?

Matt barbecued bacon cheeseburgers, of the same caliber as Bill's, and potato and bean salad enhanced lunch.

It was a very tasty lunch.

Grandpa gets his turn

Watermelon, pumpkin pie and whipped cream topped it off., We won't need much, if any, supper tonight! Delicious! It was a wonderful visit, especially as we know both children will be 6 months older when we next see them. It will be such a change.

There is something about this picture
that had me debating whether to post it.
Krystal looks melancholy but it was just
the milisecond when I snapped the photo that
captured what looks like a frown.
This mom is super proud of her new baby daughter
and herself.
I think it looks like an "I did it" glance.

We were on our way home by 1:30 and decided to go the way of Hanover to run a couple of errands. Bill went to First Choice Haircutters for a much needed cut, I went to Independent Grocers for 2 Okios 11% fat yogourts and we met at Walmart for a few dairy products.

Clouds returned off in the
distance for our drive home.

With that unloaded and put away, we all went upstairs for a snooze. Why are we so tired? LOL Bill had more lights in the kitchen to replace so climbed on the ladder to brighten my day/my life even more! I do love brightness for most things I do. 

Our meals may taste better now, 
no excuses with such bright lights.

An 'electrician's tools.

I had a cup of tea and Bill had a Coke Zero and we debated supper. It was a day that started out cloudy and cleared out by mid afternoon. We reached 18C/64F before temperatures began dropping off to about 6C/43F overnight. A couple of cooler days ahead.

Supervising from his favourite position

The sun sets on another day
up on The Ridge.
(notice the bright light reflecting?)

This was a great day! We're so glad to have the time and for Krystal and Matt to find the time to fit us into their busy schedule too. 

One more picture of a sleepy
Quinn Violet Marie.
Good night!

Thank you for your visit!
