The Ridge
On Wednesday, May 29th we woke to clouds and the look of rain showers. Good grief! Today is to be the coolest day and overnight but then (do ya think?) we will be beginning the climb to warm temperatures again. Warmer, at least. 😊 Phew! What a roller coaster ride the weather has been.
Good morning!
This is NOT our sunset from last night
but it is from my friend, Sheila.
She is at Quartzsite, Arizona and was kind
enough to share. 💓
I came
downstairs to join Bill by 7 but I felt like I could have just stayed in bed
and perhaps dropped off again. He was doing our banking since the government
pensions went in the account. Hopefully, this will be an easier month for the
finances. Bill left at 7:30 and I finished my tea with Gibbs and Moo Cow
sitting at my side in ‘our’ recliner. ♥

| It gives me a challenge, crocheting with Gibbs. He lets me know when it is time to pay attention to him. I have a correction to yesterday's post. Gibbs was 27 lbs. last summer but is now 29.8 lbs!! After his hair cut. 😍 |
I know I
post a lot of pictures of the little chunk, but he brings me/us such joy that I
love capturing his moments. I did a couple of things on my laptop and before I
knew it, it was time to head over to M’s. He asked if I could run him into town
for some errands. I haven’t heard from him since Thursday, which was great, so
I didn’t mind designating an hour of my time to help him out. He is always very
appreciative.
While in
town, I filled our 5-gallon gas can for the riding mower so Bill can cut some
grass tonight. Back home, I began my search for slippers again, I can’t figure
out my own written pattern – duh – so Googled a search to find one online. Soon
enough, it was lunch time so I ate and then went back to it. Okay, don’t laugh
but I figured it out. I was reading the back page of the beanies I made last
fall……..once I realized that (duh!) I was good to go again. Phew! 😊 (ok, you can laugh)
Our large Costco box arrived by UPS
today.
It's huge but it did have 5 large items in it and
saved us an hour and a half drive.
The sky
cleared out while we were in town, so when I returned home, I popped my screen
tent back up. The winds will be minimal over the next few days and hopefully
the rain as well. It is cool though, only a high of 15C with a breeze. Gibbs
ran around outside, stretching his legs and when we came in, he sat beside me
with his buddy. Moo Cow has lost even more weight, as is evident by the fab
full of stuffing. I doubt it will be long before her head becomes separated
from his body like Goobers.

| Well, here she is. Moo Cow minus a few pounds and a squeaker. She is well loved. |
I had to
leave Gibbs a second time today, at 4, to go meet Bill at the bnb in
Williamsford. I didn’t see Robin and Andrew’s car in the lane so if they made
it home last night, they are already on the run. She sent me pictures of the
air bnb in Newfoundland that they are working on, soon to be done, and I am
awed by what they accomplish in a short period of time. Their style is apparent
throughout, yet keeping with the province’s ‘theme’ of homes. 😊
Bill working outside while
I worked inside.
A fair trade except he worked all day too.
This Purple Smoke Tree reminded me of
the one we had in London. They're pretty.
I cleaned while Bill cut the grass and within 2-hours we traded vehicles and were each driving home. Robin will be home for a couple of months so she will be looking after the grass and maybe some of the cleaning. I like the job and the pay so I hope she needs me for part of the time. Bill had his shower while I started supper. Because it was after 6:30, we’d decided on toasted bacon, cheese and tomato sandwiches.

| Driving home - yup, I'd follow him anywhere. 💘💘💘 |
I jumped off the keto wagon and had mine on sour dough bread (which is so good toasted!) and added lettuce. Bill made his lunch, we did dishes and he went to the Hangar around 8.
A tasty little sandwich.
I worked on my blog and spent some time crocheting with my little
snuggle bum. We heard that it will be dropping to +2C/35F overnight so I covered my vegetables with a sheet. It will be the last one, we hope! I have a feeling it could be a short night, unless I find
something on tv to watch until 10. It has been a good day and before it ended,
I texted Robin with an update on Bill’s hours etc.
And finally, I had a mention on FB from another friend at the Arizona park...........they are working on a 2000-pc. puzzle and need me back STAT. Ha ha, cute, although they seem to be doing just fine without me! 😂
What a great challenge, ladies!
Good night!
Thank you
for the visit.
