Well, the day began beautifully but turned to rain in the latter part of the afternoon. It was very warm all day. We went to Gilles but he had no work for us so we came back and I worked on my project: putting a shelf in one of the cupboard for Val. Peter worked in his garage and building stairs for his basement entrance now that the cement is dry. For dinner, I BBQ’ed steaks and the girls cooked potatoes and fried vegetables in a wok. Of course it rained while I was BBQ’uing but stopped after dinner. Another good day!
The weather cooperated for us and we had a sunny day albeit with a very cool wind...15*C max. Everyone began arriving between 1 and 2 pm so we had a great visit. Gaetan picked up Marc and brought him over. I served the case of QUIDI VIDI beer that I brought form NFLD and also had everyone try the “Newfie” SCREECH. Val cooked the cod as instructed by Donna and Jeff and everyone had brought different salads. The cod was a SUCCESS! Actually the whole dinner was a success and delicious. Afterwards, we found ourselves in the garage ( a guy thing) and the girls eventually joined us. They all left by 10 pm as everyone had to work tomorrow. It was a GREEEAAAAT day!
A cool but sunny day! Fall is definitely in the air. The trees are changing colors and some are very red and yellow; awesome! Peter and I took 7 bags of cement back to Rona then we went to Hamel Propane to get my little propane tank fix. They had to change the valve as they don’t sell parts to it, or so they said!? Anyway, all this took us to 3:30 by the time we got home. Time for HH then dinner which consisted of chicken and vegetables melee cooked in the oven...Delicious! We watched the tube for a while then it was time for bed.
Sun, clouds and cool, that was the day! Peter had to go to town so we went with him to return some dishes to Gaetan and Christiane from the cod dinner. We also stopped at the Propane place to pick up my tank then on to the Vet to pick up pills for Tucker's arthritis and some medicated shampoo for his scratching. While there, we made an appointment for him tomorrow. We drove to “Morgane” for coffee, Peter’s favorite coffee shop, sat outside, had our coffee and watched people walking by then came home but stopped at “Laffertie” for some 2X4 and electrical boxes. At home, Peter decided to take on the task of preparing the window in his garage to be pulled out and replaced with a double pane window. For dinner, Val made chili and we invited Lise to join us as Gilles is at work in Gatineau (4.5 hrs from here) and he stays there during the week. After dishes and coffee, for Lise and Peter, we went home, watched the tube for a while then to bed.
We went back into town again for Tucker’s Vet visit. He got a shot and more pills to take plus we got a bag of diet food for him. His problem is that he’s constantly scratching and the Vet figures it is definitely an allergic problem along with skin problems. We also visited the bank for some cash then to the garage to have the tires rotated on the truck. We also visited a couple of dentist about my tooth and most want $150+ which is too steep for my liking so I may have to wait until we get to Texas!??
We came home and I gave Peter a hand with the replacement of the window in the garage until Val called us for dinner, he's changing all of them with double pane windows he bought a while back. We watched “Survivor” afterwards.
