bit of rain bit of sun but always lots done

On Wednesday the rain began to drizzle at 7:30 along with wind making it a chilly wet morning. Coffee helped ward off the chills, by 10:30 I was off to town to get paint supplies and meet my old co-workers for a celebration birthday lunch. It was great as always to see them but melancholy when leaving, I am no longer a part of a daily share and care :-( A quick stop to restock booze & groceries and a limited time Pumpkin Spice tea at Tims to cheer me up, YUM!!

Back at the ranch after unpacking and putting away I worked on more pumpkin sets. They are very cute and lots of interest but again most want for near free ;-(

and I hauled in the matching end table, snapped pictures and added to postings for sale

A kind lady dropped off 2 antique chairs. It is so funny how much smaller the chairs were way back when. People were not smaller but $$ must have been the reason.

Sheldon requested photos of Mac as he may sell to get 2 baling implements :/

Shaina arrived home in the late afternoon, while I was painting she made goulash for supper then was off to town for movie, with a boy, but not a boyfriend. :-) Just to clarify, he was a great school friend she grew up with.

Britt worked after school till late but picked up her new laptop case for her new Mac and had me help her assemble, snazzy and her favorite color!

Thursday B slept in with spare first class but off by 9:30 ish.  Shaina was off to work by 11 as I started pony pedicure day. By 4 pm had 5 finished! After each one was done, they were delegated to the round pen to take a turn mowing the wild oats.

here is Scooter before and after on her bad foot

At noon the budget blind installer arrived and in an hour put up 4 more blinds. Mom you will be happy there is no early rise in the granny suite anymore.

open above and closed below!

Once home from work, Shaina requested I join her to walk the dogs but after getting as far as the gate and seeing the swarms of mozzies it was time to turn around. She also was the proud piercer of her nose too! We caught Baby who was going to be ridden this w/e and trimmed horse #6 in the shop away from the darn bitters!

Brittany worked again after school getting home at usual 9 to do homework and such. Should finally be some good deposits in her account but she can figure why she is only busy working as summer ended... hahaha easy you chose not to work more B!
