The Ridge
On Wednesday, Nov. 3rd we woke up around 6:30 as per our usual, regardless of any work schedule. Goodness! Maybe, if we’d known what the day would bring, we’d have stayed in bed. Once we got over the second shock of the week with the snow, Bill cleaned Black Beauty off. 4 ½” of new white stuff! Yah yah, say it’s pretty but we really didn’t need to see this covering everything.

| A different looking pond again today |
We drove
to town to stop at RBC to get some cash changed into US funds. I needed some
cash too because of my hair appointment. We returned home but, on the way, Bill
commented that our ‘check engine light’ was on. Oh-oh, that can’t be good. ☹ He dropped me at the Suite and so he drove back to Grey Bruce Fleet to
have Jeff put the diagnostic on her. After he left, I took Ptooties down the
road to Northline Repair where Bonnie has her in-home hair salon.

| Instead of sitting in front of me, I let him sit behind me I could still type this way and he really isn't as squished as he looks |
 |
| Boohoo!! |
Today, I was getting a perm! That was my final decision and I was quite excited about
the change. Bonnie was ready for me with a client just leaving when I arrived.
We hit it off well and didn’t stop talking the whole hour and a half that I was
in the salon. The best part is that I walked out looking totally different and
loving the full result. 😊 With my fine hair, I never know how
hair maintenance/treatment will turn out.
 |
| A walk down the laneway was a wonderland |
I found Bill down at the Hangar with Black Beauty when I returned and when I did a rotation in front of him, I got a “Wow! Sexy!” so that was even more than the response I was hoping for. Bill gave me the word from Jeff with a new problem on the truck. 6

| I'm pleased with the result not with my picture |
 |
| But I admit to loving how the back accents the last of my blonde |
He knows of
our plan to leave on Saturday so has promised to order the required part tonight,
keep the truck for a couple of days and fix it by Friday sometime. LOL I guess
things have been going too smoothly for us and that just couldn’t be allowed. ☹ There are worse things, of
course, we understand all that.

| the drive to Murray's |
Bill has
already called the insurance company to remove the coverage as of today on
Ptooties so we have to take her to storage. We had some tomato soup for lunch
and then called Pat to inform her of the change of plans. This afternoon we
were set up to visit them for Happy Hour at their place. We wouldn’t have a
vehicle after someone from the shop brought us home. It all worked out in the
end, we were dropped at our buddies’ where we still had a wonderful 3 hour
visit with them.
Laughs
are always part of our time together and today was no exception. Gibbs was
entertaining enough but within this foursome, there is never a lull as we share
good (great) memories and discussed our plans for the winter. We left around 5
with hugs all around. I can’t help but wish they were coming with us. How did
we leave? Well, sometimes little elves look out for each other, and these elves
are looking after us for the next few days so we can carry on with our last few
errands. ♥

| Murray had some creative hands to decorate these pumpkins |
Because of the delicious spread of food that they put out for us, we didn’t need much for supper at all. That made it easy and we just had snacks at home and a piece of cheesecake. This was surely a mixed-up day.
 |
| Bye buddies ♥ |
Some good things, my hair for
one, the visit for two, and also some upsetting things. Not much we can do when
the Jello jiggles but hope for it all to work in appropriate timing. Gibbs was quite good for the most part of the
afternoon and slept as soon as we returned home. 😊

| The sun sets Good night! |
Thank you
for stopping in today. PS, the snow is disappearing slowly which is good since
we may be getting more overnight. Blimey!
