852 - the crappy wind returns

Day 852 had a wee bout of rain just before 7 am. I was up at 8 and it had basically quit :-( I made coffee for the prince when he awoke and started the day checking my face book page numbers. Once up I updated Facebook and the blogs and managed to find frames. I am most excited.

It was then time to head to the shop and work on projects. Today is hand painting, waxing and poly coating. The wind was horrible today!! It blew furniture off the deck that I had just tucked against the wall even!! It did not let up until supper time.

hand painting, manicure still looking good

oh my.. how tidy is this, fun to work in here

Sheldon headed to the city before noon with his dump trailer to get the rest of the deck rails, stop at Costco and Home Depot but he also managed to fit in a stop at the green tractor store. His excuse.. buy ME new lawn mower blades!! Pretty sure he checked out tractors that would look good on the ranch! He was back home just before 4 when my Sylvan Lake customer arrived to pick up her new solid maple coffee and end tables.

I went back out and painted the kids table while he unpacked the costco goodies and enjoyed some refreshments and relaxed after his hard day. He had put on ribs to simmer too and after unloading the rail stuff made an avocado and tomato salad along with macaroni to go with the barbecued ribs. I spent a few hours doing .. accounting and yes I still have GST to do this week..UGH

and my little helper, Miss Lex

Britt went to town to meet new arena managers around 5 and was back in the hour. We enjoyed the yummy but late supper around 7:30. After supper I did another dreaded job.. filled out passport renewal forms for a couple hours! While Sheldon and Britt watched TV (and Sheldon tried to pass more candy crush levels)  :-) I slipped back out to the garage to antique the white growth ruler and filled a few more teeth marks on the table before retiring to bed at 11:30.. to play a few games and read!
