Cool, cloudy and windy was our day! We kept basically close to home and didn’t do much except changing a light bulb and a fluorescent light and oil the bathroom door which was starting to squeak. I also fixed my chair permanently (I hope) so it won’t wobble sideways. We did spent some time in the garden cleaning and cutting down the cedar bushes. We BBQ’ed Pork Chops for dinner then a quiet evening and home to bed
We took Tucker and Peanut (Peter’s dog) to the groomer for a cut then went to do some shopping for Peter and a drive out of town for a tire shopping spree but no success (still looking to replace the spare tire that blew). We even got a call from Audrey from Alberta asking about our trip to NFLD, she thought we were actually sailing there rather than the ferryJ. We went back to town and shopped for groceries then it was a time to pick up the dogs but first we had a drink at a local pub.
Last night, I had a dream where I was fighting this guy and I woke up suddenly when I hit the wall by the bed with my fist...talk about reality show!!! Anyway, when I woke up again this morning, I found my denture broken in two places. I guess when in the process of hitting the wall, I inadvertently smashed my denture which was laying beside the bed on the nightstand. Talk about dumb luck!!! I was lucky enough to get a denture specialist to look at it and fix it but had to spend the day without it. All is back to normal now.
We bought a BBQ chicken for dinner then had a quiet evening at home.
The day began overcast but the sun soon came out. I noticed fog on the lake this morning which means the air is cooling off the lake...autumn is approaching!? Val did laundry and I washed the truck and the rig which were both overdue. Peter went to town to visit friends and came home with a girl friend whom stayed for dinner and the night. We had a fire in the evening but I went to bed early as I was bushed! I heard from the insurance who said that the cost for repairs on BEAR will be $1737. I am sure glad the insurance is paying!
Cloudy all day and rain in the evening! I took Val to a hairdresser for a cut then we went to a tire shop and bought a TOYO tire for BEAR’s spare at a tune of $265 including mounting and balancing. Very expensive but couldn’t wait until we get to the States to buy one because of our trip to Newfoundland. We stopped for lunch then stopped at Lupien to check about the repairs and to confirm I could bring the Unit in on Saturday. We came home to find Peter fully involved in cleaning the inside of his van. For dinner, we had left over stroganoff, a short evening under the palapa with the sound of rain then home to bed. It is still very warm and pleasant in the evening even with the rain.
Today was a rainy day, most of the day. It did clear up long enough for me to help Gilles levelling part of his backyard but we were stopped by rain which continued into the evening. I also was able to install a new light under the counter for Val which made her very happy. Peter washed the inside of his van and Val did some Tai-Chi and work in the garden. Peter had a friend arrived for the week-end (Lise, yes another one!) We had dinner inside the house and Val made her famous meatballs and gravy served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Gilles and wife Lise came over after dinner and we had a very nice evening.
Cloud and really humid! We packed everything and loaded what we are taking with us. The kayaks, golf clubs and bikes are staying behind. I hooked up the truck and took the rig out of the yard. Peter came with me and we took BEAR to LUPIEN RV and dropped it off in their yard. We picked a couple items at the grocery store and came back home. We are now staying in Peter’s house until Tuesday or Wednesday. Gaetan came over for a short visit then it was dinner time. Gilles and Lise came over in the evening and we proceeded to drink too much as usual but we had fun! We had a downpour that lasted a good hour and I mean a heavy one at that. In bed by midnight.
