The Ridge
On Sunday, June 16th, first off, Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there! I hope this has been an awesome day filled with laughter, hugs, kisses, cards, phone calls rather than texts and or gifts, whichever makes you smile. We woke up to 10C/50F with a cloud covered sky. The weather people said a high of 25C/77F so we’re looking forward to that. It was windy and by 10:30, the sun was out in full force.
Bill and
the guys had decided to go to the flying field this morning, despite the windy
forecast, even if it just meant a social coffee time. 😊 I thought that was pretty neat, indicative of their friendship.
So, he left Gibbs and I around 8:15. I couldn’t remember that I was going to
cut the grass this morning so got comfy with the little bum in ‘our’ recliner.
I played my Wordle games and drank my tea.
I've probably showed you the Air Bnb I clean but
since my sister asked for a picture, I'll share it.
At 10:45, Bill returned home, just as I was making my coffee to go clean the house at Williamsford. After he got his cargo trailer parked down by the Hangar and was greeted by Gibbs, he decided to go get a bladder of water from the Acreage. Gibbs went with him and I followed a minute or two behind on my way too. The bnb was in really clean condition, that’s twice in a row! 😊

| It's a sweet little house. |
Unfortunately, the washer wasn’t working properly, between yesterday and today something went wrong. I informed Robin and I ended up bringing the dirty sheets and towels home to her house. She was on her way home, at the airport when we chatted, so I put them in her washing machine knowing she would be home soon to pop them in the dryer. She has more guests tonight so things are a-buzz for her!

| I'm glad I remembered to cut the lawn. It looks so much better and now with the heat wave coming, I won't have to think about it. |
Bill had
a couple of small jobs to do so while he did that, I decided to cut the lawn.
Duh! I totally forgot earlier. It was a hot day but the winds up here made it
just perfect. It didn’t take me longer than 20 minutes and now everything looks
tickety-boo. My sister, Gayle, and her hubby, John, were coming for a short
visit here and then going to the Acreage to visit Donna and Gerry.
A short visit but it was nice to see Gayle and John
today.
They
stopped by around 2:45 or 3 and were on their way within 45 minutes. Short and
sweet. They are no longer just 40 minutes away, more like 70 minutes so they try
to make the most of the trip. It really isn’t that far, in the scheme of
things, is it? After they left, Gibbs and I fed the birds and watered the
plants (or was it before they arrived?) so all critters are happy now. 😊
This is my next puzzle.
Pretty picture.
I’d
bathed Gibbs’ foot again this morning, thinking it was improving, but he has
been limping on occasion (except when chasing Chippy or running to guests!) and
licking it more again. Darn, he may be going to the vet after all. I laid in
the sun for a while since Bill and Gibbs were having their snooze.
I got a lot of the border done before I stopped for the day.
It was time get supper started.
After 30 minutes, I started another 1000-pc puzzle. This one will be hard, I think, muted colours around the border and some odd-shaped pieces. Oh brother, and the challenge of having pieces on top of each other for a while will keep me sharp or make me nuts! We’ll see which one.

| This is the hairy part!! |
For supper, I had spaghetti squash and
Bill had spaghetti noodles with our meat sauce. Yummy and guilt-free for me. It
was a nice change; I had a hankering for that!
it was good and there is some meat sauce left
for on toast for another night.
After cleanup, Bill went to the Hangar for a bit and after my blog, I will watch some tv. Together, last night, we watched The Adjustment Bureau. We love that movie, quite an interesting plot if you haven’t seen it.
It was a great day today; I’d say darn near perfect! I hope it was for you all as well! Bill heard from all of his girls and my daughter, plus my son called (!!!) ♥ Ha ha, we were both very impressed with that! He also had a message from our dear friend, Colin, in B.C. He never misses a special day. Of course, we miss our own dads today, they are forever in our hearts.
When I came out of the Bunky,
there he is. Can you see our perfect little gentleman?
On that note, Good night!
Thank you
for the visit.
