9 to 5 fun to day ! making a cupboard .

Where are we today ?
        As I posted yesterday was a great Father's Day fun times but too late to post last night.
Today I have a project to work on. After thinking about this cupboard project where the old TV was and have a plan in my head, I got right into it first thing. After coffees and walkabouts town of course.
      But before that I will tell you about Father's Day. Visit my Ma first thing in the morning for a while. Pick up Suzie and we head off to her brother's for a Father's Day lunch, with Suzie's dad as well as Sandy's.  And a few other family members there as well.
nice to see a couple young
 ones there having fun too
only about 16 of us there . but a fun time we had 
     BBQ'd smoked pork chops, scalloped potatoes and some very tasty salads.
yep was tasty
desert , Strawberry pie with whipped cream
excellent
 
       Then go playing hockey with a great nephew, outside enjoying this exercise and wonderful weather.
Suzie and her Dad, Levi
      Then we headed back to "Camp Awesome" and relax for a while.  About 5 pm got a text from daughter number 2. " You have plans for supper?" Nope we had a big lunch. Also  had a great message from my son on facebook and a phone call from daughter number one. All bases covered and really felt good.
        So we ended up heading down the road in town about 3 blocks away to the "Trails Edge Tavern" for a get together and a light meal. A great visit and they ended coming back to our place and relax on a very mild evening, until way past our bedtime but sure was worth it !
nachos and cheese
lobster suiffed mushroom caps
       Excellent snacks then time to head home and chat.
hey thats daughter #2 and ME !
her and Suzie too
        This morning, cupboard project in the go. And I made many trips (lost count) to Suzie's dad's work shop only about 8  minutes away on the back country roads.
over this bridge many times today
the bridge is over the Nith river here
lovely drive on river road
        Now the cupboard project that took up most of my day. But hey it's always fun, building things.
I took the old Tv out on Saturday and now we have this huge vacant space. So I set to work. I can build a cupboard that we can use for storage. So measuring and stuff, back and forth to the workshop, finally got the box built and some trim for the front. Wrapped up about 5 pm. thats enough fun for one day.
big space where that monster tv was
its taking shape but time for supper now,
 gotta build some doors next
        For tonight gonna grill a couple Spinach and cranberry Turkey burgers along with the rest of our seafood salad from yesterday, some celery and carrots with a dip I made.
love these burgers
did the trick again
    Thanks again for stopping by and hope you enjoyed this amazing weather that we are having too,

    1. It was time to dump the old TV , it was acting up and not worth trying to get it fixed. The new ones are nicer, with a few more features and a lot lighter too.
      The storage will come in handy for organizing as well.
