This was a rainy day! We had breakfast with Peter and T&M in the house. We spent most of the day inside the garage helping and/or watching Peter installing four fluorescent lights and the automatic door opener on the garage. Gaetan showed up near the end and put in his two bits. We called it quit around 5:30 pm, had a beer and Therese prepared dinner; Italian spaghetti and it was delicious! Val made the salad. After dinner, I showed some of our pictures of NFLD then it was beddy-bye by 9 pm. It is still raining.
We had quite strong winds overnight and heavy rains! Right now, at 8 am, it is gusting at times and the sky has patchy blue sky; the forecast is for sunshine later on.
We spent the day in the garage again working on the automatic door and a couple of other items. We drove to Rona to pick up some parts and cement for Peter. For dinner, we had spare ribs compliment of Therese; they were very good! After dinner, it was more pictures showing and Gilles and Lise also showed up for a drink. Val and I watched the first episode of “Survivor” then went to bed.
Sunny and cool today! Today was spent pouring cement to fill a hole in the garage and to do his outside entrance to the basement. Therese made us lunch and at one point, I had to take a drive to Rona to return and exchange two fluorescent for Peter and to pick up my visa card which I had forgotten there yesterday. Therese came with me and did some grocery shopping then we came home. I also filled one propane tank. At 4 pm, I went inside our house and cooked a shepherd pie for everyone (7 of us). Everyone enjoyed it and after dinner, we visited.
Warm and sunny again today and it was a busy one. I fixed my door screen which had been damaged by Tucker then we finished smoothing the cement. I also walked to the mailbox to pick our mail parcel which had arrived. Afterwards we went to Gilles’ place to help him with the new gazebo which he’s turning into a spa for Lise’s business. We had to raise the roof so that he could add another 2X4 all around. What a job! At one point, we almost lost the roof when it slid without any warning as we were raising it! WOW! Anyway, we got it straighten out and finally finished the job by 6 PM. Therese had made dinner when we got back so we ate and after a short visit afterwards, I called it quit. I went home and opened our mail box which was full of bills, of course and also some magazines.
