The Ridge
On Tuesday, Aug. 5th I had another lazy (kind of) day. After Bill left for work, I sat with Gibbs while I drank my tea. Robin asked if I would mind dropping off a couple of Rockwell puzzles in Hanover when I asked if she needed anything. I left just after 8 to get groceries.
 |
| Good morning! |
After dropping the puzzles off, I stopped at a few stores before hitting Walmart. Independent Grocers has my big yogourt tub (Liberte 9%) but only one on the shelf and they had Bill's diet cranberry juice on sale so I got that there too.

| My phone camera was fighting me the whole time I tried to get this shot. Gibbs is learning how to tie Daddy's work boots. Sorry for the blurry shot. Not my fault this time! |
I drove across the parking lot to Giant Tiger and Dollarama. A few purchases were made in each and I carried on down the street. I had quite a list and managed to find everything on it at Walmart. I did good but it was a big spend today, all 3 stores taken into account.
By the time I returned to the Ridge, I felt worn out. I don't mind grocery shopping at all but it is tiring. It was after 11 and I got everything in its place. The fridge is full again so after Bill got home, I moved some stuff out to the Bunky fridge to make room for his water thermos.
 |
| It was either Sunday or yesterday when our 10 (?) year old toaster gave up the ghost. Today, I found one at Giant Tiger for a good price. If it lasts half as long, we're happy. We use it a lot. |
It is always a big spend after the first of the month when pensions are deposited. After a delicious ham and lettuce sandwich for lunch, I sat back in Bill's recliner, by the window, thinking a snooze was in order. Hah! Just as I was starting to drop off, Gibbs started barking. He can hear Black Beauty way down at the corner.
 |
| I was stretched out in Bill's recliner and Gibbs was up on the back of mine. This was before he heard someone coming down the road. Before my 6 winks of sleep. 💕 |
Sure enough, Bill was coming up the lane a couple of minutes later. They slept beside me, but my window of opportunity was gone. LOL I went to the Bunky to quill some more and made a couple pair of earrings in colours that I don't have yet. I think I'm addicted.
 |
| Sure, he's sitting with Mom but you know where he is looking, right? He loves us both equally. (sure he does) |
Bill was at the Hangar and Gibbs and I stretched out in the hammock until Daddy came up around 5:30 for supper. Tonight, we had tacos (YUMMY!) and the last of the cut up peaches and whipped cream. They have been quite tasty but the last 5, I will eat with cream in the mornings.
 |
| We were hammock-ing in the shade and this was our view of the sun. |
We cleaned up after our meal, Bill made his lunch and went back down to work on his plane. It is a very still evening. The sun has been plentiful all day, even through a haze. It got quite warm, 28C/83F with 60% humidex again. I should have turned the a/c on, but I didn't.
 |
| I love our tacos, real Mexican or not. Love love love them. |
What a nice day. The larder is full (does that cover fridge and freezer?) and we'll not lack for food over the next 2 - 3 weeks.
 |
| The green ones are so-so but I will wear them proudly. I love the brown ones. Good night! |
Thank you for stopping by.
