Friday at the ranch

Cooper was awake after 7 as was I but I had him lay quiet while I perused Instagram. Harley did scratch after 8 from the garage so I sent them out to do their business then wait in garage till breakfast. Coffee was made and marketing started. S slept in yet again really getting caught up on his sleep this 10 days off.

So it seems returning items from Amazon mailed from China require the buyer to pay return shipping so it looks like we are keeping all the chair covers. The brown single one I shall try and sell but a second set will be ok to have I guess. Both are better then the peeling pleather.

Amanda and the 2 littles popped out for a quick photo shoot of her latest wraps. Once they were off I went out to seal the rulers but found I had touchups on the stain to do. Back to marketing and gift wrapping and sorting before lunch. After lunch I sealed the ruler tops.

Before 2 S headed outside and took a shelf Stouts brought me to the neighbors and look for the lost purple jolly ball in the ranger. He was back in short order with the ball in hand found 1/2 way across the south pasture with lots of chewing damage so as I thought perhaps the neighbors dogs may have took that way and sure enough. The neighbor did however send the most lovely gift basket back for our horse help and patience with her dogs, thanks :)

candle, coffee, nuts, peppermint chocolate, shortbread and more xoxo THANKS!

I flipped the rulers and sealed the backs then tidied work space and washed brushes. S decided to run to the dump and get the mail to give the truck a run as it has been ages. He and I sorted the cardboard to take too. Once back we took a break to try the new brewhouse ultra. It was ok, esp for 100 calories.

Britt arrived after 4 from her Edmonton adventure circling home thru Calgary, fed her horses then she and Cooper were off for home. 

trying to get a good picture of the cute grinch tree

I made the 3rd HF meal; orzo salmon which was yummy. Shaina came up to join us to eat but was soon in big brown after eating some to nap with her headache. S washed up the pots then off to TV room for hockey while I went out to put a second top coat on the ruler tops. In bed I finished season 1 of Victoria only to find the next 2 seasons are not on prime but must find elsewhere ;(
