The Ridge
On Friday, May 3rd I had no need to get up and go anywhere so it was 7:30 when I came downstairs. I had my tea and some yogourt with my oatmeal. The day wasn’t supposed to be too great but it didn’t matter because we had a couple of special things going on.
First off
– Bill and I celebrate 27 years of marriage today! Being that it is the 3rd
time around for each of us, we’re very thrilled and blessed for these past
years. We’ve come a long way and hope to continue for many years. Happy
Anniversary, Sweetie. ♥ When we heard Brad Paisley singing ‘We
Danced’ on Sirius xm, of course we had to dance to celebrate. 😊
Good morning!
Our yearly update
An old picture of us but one of my favourite
We went
outside together even though the sky was overcast. There wasn’t any rain to
speak of and it was quite mild. 13C/55F is an improvement over the last few
mornings. Today, we were expecting company for a few days so we sat outside to
wait for them. It was 12:15 when Bill texted me that they were here. Duncan and
Patty have recently picked up their new motorhome and we were anxious to see
it. Wow! Is it ever long!
The rain is holding off
We haven’t
seen our friends since last July and we knew this would be a fun reunion. Once
they were parked and settled it was time to relax and catch up. Gibbs was happy
to see them as well, Duncan is his friend who likes to play toss and retrieve
with him. I wonder if Gibbs remembers that? The day was a bunch of fits and
starts as far as the rain but Bill had started a fire and kept it going
throughout. We all sat under our awning and had a beverage or two. 😊

Of course,
the afternoon brought us a tour of their new home and it is quite beautiful. A
43’ Newmar Ventana, quite a jump from their Airstream of 3 years ago. I can
tell they are tickled pink (blue) with it but still have fond memories of their
winters spent on their boat. Things change and so do our preferences. They will
get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

| It turned out great! |
 |
| Bill noticed this Rose-breasted Grosbeak but I couldn't get him in a great position. He was beautiful! |
 |
| Not for lack of trying though. |
We sat
inside the Suite for the evening discussing the Starlink as well as streaming
channels that we all enjoy. It was 9 when they walked back to their home. Of
course, they were accompanied by the chorus frogs which had Patty covering her
ears! It was a great day, a great way to celebrate our anniversary, and a
really nice evening with our friends. Bill and I watched a few videos of Dan Vasq on Youtube while I wrote my blog and then hit the hay around 10.
He just goes and goes and goes
until finally, he just konks out. 💖
Good night!
Thank you for stopping by to see what we’re up to!
