The Ridge
On Tuesday, July 23rd I didn’t hear a peep until 10 to 7. My boys were quiet or else I was dead to the world. I know I was in the midst of a dream, which was likely the reason. I came down after getting washed and dressed, and when I noticed a few drops of rain on the steps, went out and put the hammock and chair cushions away. We knew there was a chance for rain this afternoon but it could be earlier.
Good morning!
You're going out again, Mom?
This scruffy little man gets a haircut on Friday. 💗
The rain
didn’t last and Bill was ready to go to work before me. I gave Gibbs his treat
by 7:30 and drove in to the Mat. A couple of customers kept me company,
pleasant people. I had a set of sheets from Williamsford to wash and dry for
the bnb and when I saw that a washer was jammed full of clothes etc. (since my time
on Sunday) I made 3 loads and washed everything. ☹

There must
be a reason for a young family to do this, lack of money, no vehicle,
forgetting because of distractions? I try hard to be sympathetic so when they
were washed, I dried and folded everything. It filled a garbage bag to the brim
so I put a note in and tied it closed. There were 6 bath/beach towels as well
so the ones that weren’t quite dry (and I didn’t want to wait around for) are
hanging on our line to dry. It was almost 10 when I got home and had my shower.
Happy Birthday, Donna! 💖💖
Today, is
my sister, Donna’s, birthday. I invited her out to lunch so at 11:30 picked her
up and drove down the street to Stacked. It is a 7 – 3 pm restaurant (so no
dinner menu) that they frequent and enjoy, but Bill and I have not been to yet.
I ordered the Eggs Benedict and it was delicious! The menu offered a lot of
great choices so I’ll be sure to get Bill there one day soon. ♥
Yummy. I only ate the half the home fries
but they were delicious too!
The winding hilly way home the back way
I left Hanover
after dropping Donna off and made my way to Williamsford. I needed to check on
the full dryer load of clothes and return the sheets that I just laundered. I’m
glad I went and although I was pleased that everything dried in her dryer, when
she said she got a new booking for tonight for 4 people, I knew they’d need some
of the towels I was folding. 😊
Getting the mail 
I can't help it, I need to
take pictures of what I'm proud of.
I was out
of there by 2:30 on my way home and it hadn’t rained yet. Gibbs and I walked to
the mail, retrieved a parcel for Bill, and hung outside and in the Bunky for
half hour before it started to drizzle. I put him indoors and worked on the
puzzle. It has been almost a week since I’ve touched it! I made great progress
and I knew that it was the rain that had Bill returning home early. They are
working outside today.
It's coming along and fun to do.
We had toasted omelette/westerns for supper, mine in a tortilla and it didn’t bother me a bit having eggs in my menu again. 😊 He enjoyed it very much. We cleaned up the dishes and the sky is darkening up and there is thunder in the distance.
Another nice egg meal.
It has been a wonderful day, making some cash and then spending time with my big sister. She is 4 years my senior yet sometimes, we still feel like children when we’re together. ♥

It got
humid today and reached a high of 26C/78F but feeling much hotter. I'm not complaining in the least, and as I type, the rain is watering our plants. Tomorrow could be a wet day. I hope you are enjoying your
summer!
Nothing special to show in the sky tonight
but it will be a nice night for sleeping again.
Good night all!
Thank you
for stopping by!
