The Ridge
On Sunday, Aug. 7th it was nice to remain in bed without thinking of the time. Bill was up, getting ready to go flying. Gibbs and I got up around 7 and went for a short walk. Before we even got to the corner, he turned around for home. Okay by me! It was gearing up for another hot, humid day but with rain expected later. Bill was at the Hangar when we returned so we said goodbye and he and Ken headed out around 7:30.
It didn't feel too hot for walking this morning
but maybe that is why Gibbs turned back
Before I
made my tea, I had a brief feeling of light-headedness so just sat with Gibbs
in my chair and put my head back. Later, Bill suggested that it was probably
the heat and walking as soon as I got up. Oh well, within 10 minutes, I was
fine and had my tea beside me while ‘we’ worked on Wordle etc. 😊 I had a blog to finish from yesterday so worked on that and
got it posted.
Adorable little pecks and sniffs 
A little bit of tag
Unfortunately,
a few minutes later, all of my writing and pictures had disappeared. ?? That
was weird. Kim had read it, along with my cousin up north, so I knew it had originally
worked but now it was 98% gone. ☹ I left it alone for now and perused some pages of a new online auction
at 6 on 6. I was actually just avoiding going out in the heat and I knew Kim
wasn’t out anyway. We both had our a/c running.
Giji is so patient because she also wanted
to play
The sky did this all around us this afternoon
Bill and
Ken returned around 11 and Bill came in and snoozed with Gibbs while I finished.
As I was online, Rose messaged that they were on their way, 10 minutes out.
Yay! A third visiting rv. I’d begun to get things out of the fridge for lunch
but went out with the rest to greet our guests. Wow, that motor home is sure
big! You don’t realize it until you are up on a small space, instead of out in
the open desert. George got backed in behind the Wilson’s Journey like a pro
and we came in to eat.
Rose watching Gibbs cozying up
I didn't know he could dance so well!
Giji is
their ‘new’ shepherd and she is bigger but just as friendly as I remembered
from last winter. I let Gibbs out and you couldn’t ask for a better reunion. ♥ It is always cute watching two compatible pooches playing together so
well. The rest of the day was spent sitting outside catching up and more
stories were told all around. At 6, we went our separate ways for supper and
just in time because the black clouds finally produced rain.
Kim! Come in out of the rain!
I reminded her that she has a metal cup in her hand. 😁
It felt
good as we meandered back to our rv’s but I had to snap a picture of Kim who
didn’t want to come in out of the rain. It was that hot today. As the rain got
harder, she made her way inside their home. 😊 We had some thunder, lightning and gusty winds for a short
but productive period of time. Plants should be happy now, again.

We had leftover meatloaf, corn on the cob and cherry pie for supper and remained indoors for the rest of the night. The heat seemingly takes a toll on me and I felt exhausted from doing NOTHING!
Supper was filling even though it doesn't look like much
Another wonderful day and we’re glad Rose,
George and Giji were able to join us. Oh! It was also nice to chat with Loree
today and we wish her well on the 11th. ♥
