The Ridge
Thursday,
June 4th when we got up, I couldn’t believe that it was already
Thursday! This week is flying by and I guess that relates to how busy we’ve
been. I’m supposing that the summer will fly by too which is sad since the nice
weather took its time arriving. Today looks gorgeous with a nice sun peeking
through a few clouds to the east. It was already 16C/62F.

| Good morning! |
I had a
cup of tea while Bill got washed and ready for his work day. At 7:30 we drove
together to Walkerton in Ptooties. It was a nice morning drive, about 40
minutes and I was able to see the house that they are renovating. Mike wasn’t
there but I met one of crew and saw Emily, whom I’ve met a couple of times
before. I’d noticed on the way through Hanover that Walmart had no lines at 8
so I stopped on the way home.
It was
maybe 5 minutes before I was allowed in and right away, I knew it was a good
decision as the Zero Coke and Diet Gingerale were on sale. I put 4 cases in my
cart and we should be good for a while. I don’t drink it as often as Bill does but
it is nice to be stocked up. With a few other groceries and my Calcium pills in
the cart, I checked out and headed home.

The drive
back was uneventful, the construction near Durham on #4 has moved down a side
road so it didn’t slow traffic down. I put things away, read my emails and then
decided it was time to make a change. Just ‘because I can’. One of George's favourite things to say. 😊 I’ve been warning Bill for a week now what to expect but who
knows what he’ll think when all is said and done. You’ll find out at the end of
the post – maybe.

I made
myself a coffee before 11 and sat to write a bit on here. The rest of the day
is a bit of a blur, I had my lunch, took a couple of walks down the lane and
watered the hanging basket down at Bill’s Hangar. I had a nice catchup chat
with my London girlfriend and out of work hair stylist, Brenda, and then it was
time to pick Bill up at his job. I left at 1:40 and was in Walkerton at 2:20.
He was ready and I drove home.

| We ordered supper in from Kettles and sat in a bug free gazebo Gerry, John and Gayle all smiles |
He was
hot and dirty but didn’t feel like dozing, which I thought he might while I
drove. He hopped in the shower and while he did that I slipped into a summer
dress and flip flops. Love the ease of hot weather dressing! I again drove to
my sister Gayle’s and Bill was able to stretch back and have a snooze on the
30-minute drive. We were the first ones to arrive so made ourselves comfortable
on their nice deck under the gazebo, with a full view of their pond, garden and
yard area.

| Bill and Donna He can't blame me for the goofy pictures if he doesn't look at the camera |
 |
| Woops, John blinked You probably have a clue now what I was referring to earlier |
When
Donna and Gerry arrived we all had some happy hour drinks and enjoyed each
other’s company. It was a beautiful day for an outdoor dinner. John took our
orders from the Kettles menu and called them in for pick up. Kettles is about
15 minutes down the road towards Owen Sound so the 3 guys went. Eating out of
the Styrofoam containers saved some dishes for our hosts and the food was
great.

| Bill obliged when us sisters asked him to take a picture |
No picture again today of my meal but I had 2 pcs. of tender liver with
onions, bacon, baked potato and cole slaw. Delicious! Half the liver and coleslaw came home.
 |
| Yes, that's the new temporary me in the middle Biill could never see 'me' in the pictures I showed him when I was younger in brown hair Now he can |
We sat
around until close to 8 pm when Bill drove us home. What a great day! I was in
bed by 9:30 as I still needed to catch up on last night’s restless sleep. The
driving is unusual for me so that added to my sleepiness, I’m sure. Looking
forward to another wonderful day on the horizon for tomorrow.

| So, that was our day Good night from the Ridge! |
Thank you
for your visit!
