Before I went to bed last night at
10, I took some Tylenol. After my work yesterday, the muscles along my mid to
upper back were aching. I’m sure sitting in my chair for the evening didn’t do
anything to help either. Regardless, I’m happy I did what I did, I had a great
sleep and woke to a rainy day which means a day of rest from strenuous
chores today!

On Thursday, May 3rd I
woke up around 6:15 when Bill and Clemson got up but lingered in bed until 6:45
or so. Bill was first to wish me Happy Anniversary so I handed him his card. I
haven’t shown him the changes on our perpetual calendar yet but before the day
is out, I will. We had our hot drinks together and read blog posts from
yesterday. Catching up with our blogger friends makes for a good morning start
up.

| We followed this van through Durham, I love the murals on vehicles Looks inviting, doesn't it? |
Bill hopped in the shower after
having a bowl of cereal and I had some yogourt and a banana. It was around 8:30
when we drove into Durham first to buy stamps and pick up Mom’s completed Income
Tax and then to Hanover to First Choice Haircutters. We got our hair cut
together and both feel much better walking out of the Shoppe. Mine is a tad
shorter than I’d originally planned but I’m quite happy with having my neck
bare for the summer heat. We picked up bread at the Bread Depot so Bill will be
happy with his favourite sandwich makers!

| A bit fuzzy, but we are happy with our new dos |
We drove to Mount Forest from there
and Bill picked up the tube for his riding mower tire and some other new ‘toy’.
I won’t tell you about it, that is his option if and when he writes another
post. On the way home, we stopped at the West Grey Meat Market and picked up a
freezer pack of mixed meats. It is a great deal for us and we get ground beef, pork
loin chops, sirloin steaks, sausage and a beef roast. All good things we like
to eat!

| Bill's perpetual calendar that gets updated every anniversary date |
Back home, I made an egg and bacon
western for each of us. I’m out of my tortilla wraps so had mine in toast as
well. I’ll try not to do that too often but it was so tasty! We cleaned up the
dishes and then I went for a walk to get our mail. We are still waiting for a
couple of pieces to come from Ford. I think
it was a combination of our past two busy days that caused us all to go
upstairs for an afternoon snooze. I didn’t think I was going to drop off but an
hour later when I looked at the clock that was proven wrong.

| I tried really hard not to wake my sleeping beauties The way Clemson curls up on Bill's arm is priceless |
Once more we left Clemson in charge
again and drove back into Durham to return Rob’s chain saw and thank him for the
loaner when we needed it. He is a great friend and is always offering
assistance one way or another. They invited us in so we sat and had a lovely
afternoon happy hour together. No drinking was involved this time, although the
offer was certainly made. We had a nice relaxing chit chat.

| Patsy Patsy Quite Contrary, How do your plantings grow? |
From there we drove to the Movie
Store where I picked up the movie I ordered last week. Yay! Now we have a copy
of Bridges of Madison County of our very own. It seems to have brightened up
outside, hovering around 55F/13C but the rain at least stopped this morning
around 10. I’m still glad I’m not working in the brush today. Hopefully
tomorrow will be a better day for it anyway.
 |
| *sigh* The chic flick we both love to watch |
Once back home, I caught up a bit
more on the post, Bill did some banking and Clemson got his supper. On time
today, 5 o’clock on the dot. We relaxed for an hour before deciding that I
would bake sausage for supper. I was hoping we could barbecue them but we
easily opted for this instead, since we were plugged in to electric.

| Can you see him? |
 |
| Now you can! |
This has been a good day and the
weather has not really dampened any plans. I hope you can say the same. I do believe
the bulk of the rain missed us today but wow, are things every growing
everywhere we look. I didn’t get many pictures taken today simply because it
was dull and wet so I’ll close this up before you fall asleep.

| Nice to see the grass greening up as well I haven't raked this area yet, but I will get rid of the dead grass |
Thanks for stopping in today. If you
wish to leave a comment, I would love to read it.
