last minute errands

Today is last day to get ready as we leave tomorrow!! Time to check and recheck bags and of course I kept adding ;) Sheldon had to actually pack his!! LOL

seems Coco decided 5:30 am was a good time to wakeup today at her new holiday villa

Leaving him to get this task done, I was off to town after 11 to grab a few items at Walmart then pick up Monica and head to the booth. It did not take long to fluff and reorganize. I added the big shelf, blue table and new jewel box too, paid my rent and we were back on the road. A quick stop at Tims and A&W and we had lunch for the road.

I dropped her back at her door about 2:15 and was off for a quick tan. Candace just was dropped off at the Husky as I was finished so perfect timing. I picked her up and we swung by Amanda's to grab some library books I ordered for the trip. Thanks Manda. Then we were off to the ranch grabbing mail and my parcel at the gate on the way. It was a blustery day again and even though +5 it was biting cold wind.

Sheldon was packed up and relaxing. I made a big pot of hamburger soup for our supper and to leave for the girls while we visited. Sheldon rolled out a bale quick before we ate and the sun went down. Candace was kind enough to paint my nails and toes all pretty, THANK YOU! The rest of the evening was spent putting more goodies in my bag and us triple checking we had it all. ;)

back to the city

 Another Sunny warm day hitting 10 but the wind picked up and howled in the evening. It even blows the gate off kilter to not close all the way.

Sheldon went to resalt his hide and I painted the jewelry box and bread box

Britt loaded up Coco taking everything she owns practically and they were off before 3. Coco will stay with B till they return on Thursday having Friday off again.

I put on a second coat of blue and waxed up the jewel box to stage a few pics. Sheldon watched the all stars hockey game.

A gal arrived to load up the headboard, I helped her get it on top of her SUV and ratcheted down. Then we were off to the city stopping for supper before the movie. Sadly it was not the best meal we have had at this place but the movie, A Dogs Purpose was good. Take a tissue ;)

roughnecks night

The wind rolled in last night and continued today. Britt got home at 1:30 am from seeing the movie Split as part of her night with Amber. Sheldon finished up just after 9 last night, here is the hide all finished and salted

I spent the morning finishing organizing the garage, having Sheldon help me rearrange a few heavier pieces and it looks great. The sweeping is never ending with Lola's spring blow out but is easier now that we took down big D's perimeter fence. The only dog 175 pounds that was easily contained with a foot high fence ;)

Sheldon ran to town after lunch. I was scrubbing up new paint projects and doing glue repairs as per usual.

 

Britt went and caught Daisy and Bird. She rode while I trimmed Daisy and we were done in half an hour. Fast when you have help and a good ole well behaved horse to trim. Shower time as we are heading to the city to see the roughnecks. Been a very long time since we went so will be fun.

As you can see the day was overcast with  the warm plus 6 wind

Sheldon was back before 4 with teas and coffee, we ate a quick pizza and were all ready to head to the game just after 5. We picked up Shaina at chinook parking lot and found our parking and hiked it to the dome. It was even warmer in the city. We scored our seats and had a great time watching lacrosse. It has been awhile for us all. Popcorn, ice cream, peanuts and a couple beers/ceasars/mikes rounded out the experience.

it was Star Wars night so even the drill crew performed in costume ;)

Before dropping Shaina at her jeep, we stopped at Joey's for snacks and a night cap which was of course yummy. A fav restaraunt of mine for sure. By 11. Shaina went west and us east calling it a successful night out. A treat for the girls for pet sitting while we are gone.

sunshine and warm weather continues

Sunshine and chinook day started pretty casual. Sheldon headed out later in the morning to start his bison hide fleshing out stopping for lunch with us. I started laundry and continued the drudgery of paying bills and cleaning and throwing a few last things in my suitcase.

Seeing it was so nice, + 5, I headed out and caught KD and gave her a pedicure. Being alone had her prancing all over and I was sweaty to say the least when I let her go. Daisy will get her turn tomorrow is my plan.

A healthy stir fry for supper was my next project to master. Britt ate quick and was off to town to hang out with Amber at OJ's. Sheldon came in later for a quick chow down and then was back out to finish and I could get the kitchen cleaned up.

since laundry pictures and sharpened knives are boring, here is a few from recent days
