The Ridge
We were ‘lazzzy’ Sunday, Sept. 27th and didn’t crawl out of bed until 7:30ish. It was/is the only day when neither of us had to get up early for something. Our only time frame was a 10 am departure. I could have gone for my walk but even though warm and it would have been enjoyable, I decided to have a tea instead. My blog was late so I wanted to finish it and have a shower too. Maybe later today.

| There were obviously classic car shows or drives today This 57 Chevy was only one of the classics we saw on our drive |
It was
disappointing to me and my own fault that I lost my pictures that I took
yesterday but duh, don’t we kick ourselves! I scrambled and retook some, as you
saw, and downloaded others. My post is dull enough let alone having no
pictures. Hope you got a kick out of my purchases at least! So, for today, I’ll
try not to lose any that I take. It was a quiet morning. I showered and Bill
got washed up and had a bowl of cereal.
This was in Hanover, I think, there are so many
and they are all well done
At 10 am
we hopped in Ptooties and drove the hour to Paisley. We were scheduled to meet
with Wes and Susan (our winter hosts) for another walk through the house and to
decide on what to bring. We got things figured out and we were happy to be told
that they were purchasing an upright fridge for us. That is the one thing I
have been stressed about, what to do with the partial jars, condiments etc.
etc. in our fridge. We are both very relieved and it also a relief for Susan
too. She doesn’t have to share her fridge either.
It was a lovely day as we drove through the small towns
They had planned on us staying for lunch and it was very nice to have a first meal with them. It was 2 hours later when we said goodbye. I guess you could say that we get along very well.

Bill drove home and in Durham we stopped at Rob and Pat’s
to deliver something Bill picked up for them at CanAm. Then one more stop at
IDA Pharmacy and home. We both felt tired and I know that my excuse is not
having a great sleep last night. My fault, I’d taken a mug of tea to the fire.
The farmers have a job to do but it can be frustrating if you get behind
one their big machines on a busy highway
We rested
in our chairs and then half hour later we both went out and started packing
some things away. Bill managed to get the free lawn mower he got from a
customer started. Bonus! I worked on the garden stuff and Bill worked in the shed, organizing things for winter storage.
We got quite a bit done in the couple of hours we worked, leaving less to do
over the next couple of weeks. It isn’t that far away and time will go quickly.
Supper turned out really well, especially
since I had no idea what I was making!
Inside, I
put together a hamburger stew with dumplings, cooked on the stove and it was
delicious. We got caught up in a couple of 80’s movies, Uncle Buck and
Bodyguard but managed to get dishes done somewhere in there. The evening was
quiet and I didn’t stay up too late. I have two jobs in the morning so will
want to get a good sleep. This would be our last ‘warm’ night before
temperatures drop off for another week.
This different Chapman ice cream was yummy
