The Ridge
On
Sunday, Apr. 19th Bill was up first and in the shower by 7:15. I was
awake and waited until he was done and it was my turn. With that out of the
way, we met downstairs for our coffee and tea. Unfortunately, it was raining
and would be all day so no walking but fortunately it was clear precipitation
this time. We can live with that.

Looking for something different to take pictures of today
I focused on some beautiful homesteads on our drive |
We sat
down together and called Marilynne and began our phone calls to the kids. Once
that was finished, we set about getting the day underway. I worked on the
puzzle for a bit and we each had a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. After dishes,
we left the Suite around 11:30 and took a leisurely drive to Tavistock.
 |
| Some have nice ponds |
We’d
told Bridgette to expect us between 1:30 and 2 but we were early so stopped to
say hey to Bob and Jo-Anne. We did a door way greeting and chatted for about 15
minutes.
 |
| Others have porches and little barns |
 |
| some have llamas |
At
Bridgette’s, we were greeted by Bridgette, had a coffee and moved on into their
living room as it is their largest room to be social-distanced. We managed to
be at least 6’ apart, more like 10 so it was quite nice.
 |
| We were thrilled when the clouds broke up and the sun came out |
We gave them their
gift and also the ones for Taylor and Jake. Chances of us seeing them anytime
soon is slim. ☹

Here is a beautiful homestead
Oh, it theirs |

Proud owners in a lovely kitchen
on the edge of renovations |
The time slipped by and before we
knew it, it was almost 4:30. We texted Yvonne next, as they were on the route
home, and swung around there for a garage visit.

It was
nice to see them and 3 of the boys. We missed you Braeden! We think they also
liked their goodies that we chose. It was getting late so we headed out of
there around 5:30.

Beautiful pooches |
On the way home, we turned towards the Acreage and Bill
turned the tap on to a slow flow for the night would be another one below
freezing.

| Another nice looking place with a lawn for Keith to cut |

| Some houses were pretty colours |
 |
| Others were natural and beautiful |
We were
both getting hungry so as soon as we got back to the Ridge, I started making
grilled cheese sandwiches for supper. Bill likes his done in the oven so the
best I could do was fry it in our copper pan. He doesn’t like the extra butter
that I do so I did them separate. Mine had onion slices in it and they hit the
spot for a quick meal. It was almost 8 o’clock when we finished dishes and
turned American Idol on.
 |
| We could ring the bell at the Acreage but no one was home |

This was
a great day with some family visits in. We missed the hugs but they will come,
all in time. Two deliveries done and 4 to go. All we need now is better weather
so we can make a few more outdoor drop-ins.
 |
| Good night y'all! |
Thank you
for stopping in!
