Copper jumped into bed with me just after 8 as I was reading. Dave had already fed the animals and set off for his big race day—good luck to him! Britt is attending yet another course in the city today. Eventually, I started the coffee, and our day began, feeling like yet another repeat of Groundhog Day. It was a brisk 4 degrees but sunny as the three horses were let out to graze. S went to the shop to continue arranging his equipment, while I took care of watering the indoor plants. This led to rearranging the storage shelves in the furnace room, where I discovered we have more pasta than we need.
This is her new kong toy 4 days later
S came in for lunch, had a beer, and checked on his hockey equipment washing. I uploaded videos and photos and published yesterday’s content. Before changing the hot tub filters, S put the furniture back that he had moved from under the truck lift to get fireball in and out. It was time for me to get back to work on custom desk pieces, as I have a custom dresser coming next week. However, when I went to the garage, I had to rearrange a few more things he forgot to move back, including an art easel I picked up. I started working on it by washing and sanding off the graffiti.
Then I worked on sanding the desk parts. It was too nice outside to stay in, so I wrapped it up and went out to dig potatoes for tomorrow’s dinner. S had changed the filters and put the current ones to soak. He set up the water for Brittany 2.0 evergreen. I weeded the garden and enjoyed the sunshine. S and I had a cold beverage on the deck, finishing just as Ma and Pa arrived a little after 4. I visited briefly before jumping in the shower and then chowing down on a bowl of chili while they had a cold beer on the deck too.
I was off to pick up Ada on my way to the city. She is job shadowing me, as Amanda described, to learn Renn’s routine while the kids go out to celebrate Kaylin’s birthday with supper and a night out. Everyone was getting ready—Shaina, Matt, Kaylin, and then Nathan after he put the new slushy maker to work for us to enjoy and finished cooking the noodles for Renn’s supper. She hammed it up for the crowd. The group set off for their dining reservation for 10 people at 7.
such a ham, this was the tail end of her big laughing entertainment

Ada and I enjoyed playing with Renn after she finished eating. We sang lots of songs and gave her a bubbly bath. She settled down for the night just after 8:30 and was soon sound asleep. Ada and I then watched a short kids’ movie followed by Leo. We had about half an hour to go when Nathan returned at 10:30. Ada was soon asleep on the quick, less-traffic ride home, dropping her back in 43 minutes. I continued home, checked on the turkey thawing in the sink, then watched some YouTube before falling asleep. Sheldon, Ma and Pa left for town soon after I did to buy new cowboy boots, went to OJ's for a drink and nachos then home for ribs and wings while watching baseball.
