The Ridge
On Saturday, Sept. 21st I woke a few times after 6 but kept dropping back off. It wasn’t even a late night for me last evening! Oh well, I had no real time restrictions today. 😊 I was up and in the bathroom by 7:30. Bill was getting ready to go to the flying field but started (and almost finished) sorting the dirty clothes for me.
 |
| Good morning! The sky to the northwest last night was a beautiful shade of pinks and blues. |
 |
| Trying to get a morning picture while on my way to town. Sometimes, trees just jump into the picture! |
There
were a couple of customers in and out while I worked away and they were still
there when I finished washing the floor and packing our damp clothes in our
basket. I made a quick stop for some snacks to offer a guest we are expecting
after lunch. He may not want anything but it is nice to have and stuff we’ll
munch on anyway. I have noticed how dirty Ptooties is lately so drove to the
drive through in Durham for a quick wash. It is a new feature at what used to
be just hand washes.

| It was expensive, but she looks good with some Patsy tlc. |
She isn’t
perfect still but much better. After hanging the clothes, with Gibbs on duty, I
washed her windows inside and out as well as a few spots missed. I’d almost
rather pay less and do it myself with their hand wash. That way, I can scrub
where I want. Oh well. Gibbs and I hung around outside and I worked on the
puzzle while he did his own thing. That was keeping tabs on the bunnies under
the Bunky and sitting in the shade. 😊
 |
| Gibbs really took to Linda and visa versa. |
I had my lunch which consisted of 2 pieces of toasted sour dough bread with rhubarb peach jam. ♥ My sisters and I have been chatting avidly over the last couple of weeks about next year’s LadyFest. Finally, today it was agreed that they were all on board and I would book it this time, giving Donna a break. We like to get it done so we have more choices and there is always a full refund up to 2 weeks before arrival. I was happy we could all make the commitment for out 2025 week together.

Bill was
home by 1:30 and Terry and Misty arrived around 2. He is a high school friend
who is touring around visiting, something he makes time to do once a year. This
is the first time it worked out for a visit here. 😊 Today, he wasn’t just reconnecting with friends but having a
vacation with his partner, Linda. I’m glad she came along, and Misty, his
pooch, as we hit it off and had a great visit for 3 hours! That’s when you know
we were having a good time.
 |
| Misty was quuite content here. |
 |
| Of course, a picture of high school friends. Terry was also one of my brother Bruce's best friends. 💓 |
After they left, we had grilled cheese sandwiches for supper. Simple and simply good. Mine had onion slices in it, of course. Bill washed and I dried the fry pan and his thermos mug and I finished my blog.
 |
| Nice easy tasty supper |
Tonight, might be a snack night, since
we are done eating early enough. After all, it is Saturday night. This has been
a surprising day as far as the weather. The forecast called for rain, first –
early this morning, then – after 4 pm, then again – off the radar until midnight
Sunday night.
 |
| I absolutely love working on this puzzle. I may have to take it south to do again. |
We are
enjoying sunny blue skies with some white fluffies and a lovely high of
26C/79F. I’m glad the forecasters don’t know what they’re talking about! I’ve
enjoyed this day a lot! I hope your weekend is starting out just as good.
