The Ridge
Bill and
I woke up between 6:30 and 7 and I got up first to get in the shower. When I
finished, he got up and had his. Today is Thursday, Apr. 30th and
two people who are close to us are celebrating a birthday today. Our friend,
Keith, and our brother-in-law, Gerry. There are about 9 or10 years between
them. Happy Birthday guys!

| Happy Birthday, Keith! |

| Happy Birthday, Gerry! |
It was a
rainy, warm morning, already 10C/50F when we got up and the winds were calmer,
at last. We had our tea and coffee and around 9:30 I started making something
for breakfast. Toasted egg sandwiches today. After dishes, we hopped in
Ptooties and took a drive. Bill had a delivery to make and we had a visit
scheduled.

| I looked up and saw this through our sun roof |
 |
The sky today changed many times
and the temperature rose to 14C/56F |
We drove through light rain, gray clouds, white clouds and even some
blue sky poking through.

A socially distanced visit
Ken and Kim are even distanced! |
 |
Their home is full of surprises in their redecorating
and antique haven |
We
arrived at Ken and Kim’s home in Ingersoll. Ken is working on building a remote-control
airplane and Bill had some things for him to aid in the process. We knew they
had a large home although we’d not seen it yet, so when they invited us inside
for a visit, we accepted. It was so great to see them after spending a lot of the
winter months with them in the southwest. We’ve missed the Happy Hours.

We
visited safely, keeping the distance across their living room, and got caught
up on things since we said goodbye on Mar. 20th. We said our goodbyes
before 5 and on the way through Woodstock, stopped for a fast food fix at Wendy’s.

There are some very old and picturesque buildings
in Woodstock |

| A private home |
 |
| Another one |
 |
| this one may have apartments because of the vehicle parking |
It would be 7 before we reached Durham and that would be late to order take
out. This was better and a change. I haven’t had a night off from cooking for
over a month so it was quite acceptable.
 |
| The clouds were busy all day keeping cover |
 |
| Entering Durham |
It was
7:30 when we were settled in at home. The Suite was warm but felt a bit damp so
Bill turned the b.f. heater up a bit and we relaxed in front of the tv. This is
going to be one of my shortest posts. When it’s been a great day, sometimes
there isn’t anything else to say. We enjoyed the drive and loved the visit. I
hope you enjoyed the random pictures taken from our drive today.
 |
| Downtown Durham is looking quiet |
We are
looking forward to a more pleasant weather day tomorrow and some sunshine would
be great!

At the Ridge, I was happy to see this little chickadee having supper
Good night everyone
