A/C-less Night, Clean Mat, Hot Day in the Awning Shade

On the Ridge

We were in bed last night by 10:30 and had decided to leave the a/c off since there was a nice breeze coming in the windows. We slept well, just a sheet needed. At one point the breeze must have turned cool (or seemingly so) as I closed the window beside my head.

On Friday, July 5^th the last thing I really wanted to do was go to work in a hot laundromat. Not because of the work at all, just the heat. No worries though as I was up at 6 and out the door by 6:20. It was almost 6:55 when I opened the door to the first client. He’d tried the door a couple of times so I saw no harm in letting him in. I’ve seen him in there before and he is a nice man. Then, soon after, a familiar elderly lady came in to do her laundry.

Almost my favourite picture of the day

I was out of there shortly after 7:30 and nipped down to Foodland for some items that Bill couldn’t get at Costco. It was disappointing to hear that they didn’t have the cream cheese blocks and especially his Zero Coke. After grabbing some cream cheese at Foodland, I was disappointed that their Z. Coke wasn’t on sale this week. Darn! Bill can drink the Diet Ginger Ale that I’ve put in the fridge. It looks like we’ll need a stock up on all soda before too long.

Easton's little Sun Dome (that's what Jess calls it)

Donna is handy to have around so I texted her about the pop at Independence. They will be out to the Acreage tomorrow and she kindly offered to pick it up for me. It is a good price at 2 – 12 packs for $8. Bill worked in the Hangar and when the kids got up, they joined me on the patio in the shade and the breeze. It was 75F at 10 am so we knew the a/c would go back on. Soon after, I made our breakfast of peameal bacon and eggs. It was tasty, as always.

I think he likes it

We sat outside and chatted about this, that and the other. Easton had a nice little snooze in his little ‘pen’ although I know there is another name for it. Cute ideas now for babies, stuff we’ve never seen before. He slept for over an hour, surprising Jess. I guess the fresh country air does that to him! 😊 After Bill and Matt went to the Hangar to put a sheet of plywood up, I carried Easton down to get the mail. Jess joined us and Domi came for the walk. I should say run. He doesn’t ‘walk’ anywhere!

and he was soon having a little nap before lunch

We were all pretty hot by that time and Bill cleaned up in the Hangar. J, M, E & D went inside their trailer around 2:30 and we came inside the Suite. Time for a munchie (cheese, yogourt & clementine) and then a snooze. We must have crashed really hard because Jess texted at 3:15 and I totally didn’t hear the phone, which was right beside me on the window ledge. Our weather station is registering 86F/30C and that is exactly what has been forecasted for today. Good thing for the wind today, even though we’re keeping an eye out, the 6 mph gusts (which isn’t a lot) are flapping the awnings every once in a while.

Daddy on feeding duty

For supper, we are having hot dogs and beans. Yup, old fashioned weiners and beans are on the menu tonight. Neither of us felt too hungry and although they grilled on our Weber beside our company’s steak, we had just enough. I offered Bill the remaining bun but he declined in favour of less food. Plus, we’re leaving room for dessert later. I also have some creamy Jell-o in the making so blended that together as another option.

Jell-o for another night

At 6, Bill lit the bbq and it didn’t take long to grill our cheese dogs. I had the bun as Bill declined it. Supper hit the spot and for dessert, we each had a piece of that yummy cheesecake. After sitting out of the fridge this afternoon, the crust was soft, the way it should be. Matt grilled their steak and Jess brought Easton over while they ate. He chose that moment to fuss, naturally. Bill held him and they watched tv while I did the dishes.

I love you, Grandpa

After hiccups and some giggles with Gramps, he fell asleep on his shoulder. I moved him to Clemson’s quilt on the floor and a different species of ‘little bum’ remained sleeping for about an hour.  When Jess and Matt came over after their supper we sat together and watched some tv. The temperature outside started dropping but not very quickly. It was still 79F at 8 pm. And only going down to 75F overnight. We may have to leave the air on tonight.

I love the little 'big' feet

This was a great day. We didn’t get too involved in anything; it was simply too warm but that’s not a complaint. I hope you enjoyed your day wherever you are. I hope you have air conditioning!

and dessert was yummy
Good night from the Ridge

Thank you for stopping by!
