The Ridge
On Friday, Aug. 28th the weekend and the month-end are within an arm's reach. I can't believe it is so cool in the mornings though for being 2 weeks ahead of fall! Feels like late October weather, feels like we should be packing up and leaving!

| Good morning! This was last night's sunset. Almost Arizona-worthy! |
I got up and out the door shortly after 7, leaving my boys behind. Bill would have walked down to meet Billy by 7:30, leaving Gibbs in charge. A job which he takes very seriously, let me tell you. He watches us leave, goes upstairs and promptly falls asleep. 💕
Not done yet!
1 Moonflower today
Rise and shine!
The fog was heavy this morning in
certain areas.
I went first to get the water bottle filled and then to the Mat. It was empty so I took advantage and cleaned out the lint from the 3 big dryers. It's just easier without customers milling about. You've heard me talk about them but now you get a sneak peek at the 'big dryers'.
The fog and clouds gives the
effect of mountains off in the
distance.
Geesh! I'm thinking Arizona again!
I need tools to remove the 2 sizes of bolts that hold the doors on, because they are so old. They've been replaced many times when they get stripped, the bolts, not the dryers. 🤭 I found 2 nickles and my favourite dime today, so an addition to my piggy bank. 🐷
It isn't difficult, just time consuming
and more awkward when
customers are around.
The lint drops off the screen
easily. This is where I find the coins
often.
There was a bag of baby clothes in the Lost & Found, on purpose I'm sure, so I washed them along with a comforter from the other day. Once dried, I kept the soft unicorn toy for a special someone at home here and bagged everything else. It got dropped at Rethreads on my way home.
Driving east out of Durham. 
I turned left onto Baptist Church Rd
and it was clear as a bell.
Kind of like cleaning my camera lens
yesterday, right? 🤭
I boiled a couple more eggs to add to the egg salad. It went quite runny overnight so this thickened it up for sandwiches. I even like it without the bread. I had a little side project that I wanted to do, using a white pillow case, but it isn't 'showable' so ixnayed that idea. 🤣
Someone likes his unicorn.💕
Thank you for all the birthday wishes for Gayle, she had a nice day spent with her son and family. With C the A tonight, Bill and I will have the casserole leftovers for supper. Nice and easy, with corn, for before we go or after we come home. Friday, yay, Bill will be happy.
The Hibiscus won't give up.
I wished Robin and Andrew a safe trip home today and they were just boarding at 11:23 am. They were fixing a window at Mildred's Seaside bnb in Heart's Content, Nfld. It is right on the ocean so understable. It looks really quaint, maybe one day????
I need to call this the
Dahlia Corner.
Gibbs and I went out at 2 but he had no intention of walking down to get the mail for some reason. He sat on the step and waited for me. I took advantage and pulled the dead flower stalks from the lilies down there, soon I will cut them all right back. It looks so messy now.
No thanks, Mom.
You go, I'll stay here and wait.
Oh there you are! I'm glad you came back!
Bill was home around 3 and after changing into shorts, had his snooze with Gibbs cuddled close beside him. I finished my second Christmas card and at 3:30 made my cup of tea. I like to have it finished before 5 when we have to leave for town.
Can't go wrong with leftovers
and a repeat supper.
We're picking up tickets from Eckhardt's on our way in to help Roz and Brian. Well, tonight, it was a sparse crowd with many people on vacation but one of my two regular #'s was drawn. #23 is no longer on the table to pick but the Ace of Spades is still out there. Yay!
And the sun dips below the
horizon on a clear night.
We reached 20C/70F today
but dropping to a cool 9C/48.2F
overnight.
Fall weather.
We dropped tickets at Eckhardt's and returned home to our happy little bum. I reheated the casserole and cooked the corn. It was just as good tonight as it was last night. We cleaned the dish by hand and Bill went to the Hangar for the evening.
This was a good day with one job and no birthdays. Tomorrow will be even slower. I hope your weekend starts off well too!
Last year, we were putting the
Lion's Club float together on
Aug. 28th.
We were talking about it tonight
at the meeting.
Next Friday, the fall fair parade is Saturday.
Good night.
Thanks for the visit.
