A perfect cool night for sleeping 48F at 6 am. Up and at it gotta get this day underway. Why? Just because I can, the sun is shining and the weather perfect !
Headed on out for my first walkabout for about 2 miles in feels great, ready for the day now !
|
nice quiet walk down the country roads |
Back home and Clemson game to visit with Suzie for a bit and sniff around.
Then I ask Bill if he wanted me to mow some lawn for him, no problem , I do enjoy mowing other peoples lawns. So I hopped on their Cub Cadet and headed down the lane to cut the front yard. Nice easy cut and all done in 45 minutes.
|
they have a nice small rider does the job |
|
down the lane to the front |
|
this a nice area here |
Then after a light lunch I headed in to town for a few things,
|
nice 6 mile drive to Durham |
The plan was to pick up a pork loin roast on sale only $1;99 a pound but it was HUGE, Agreed to split it with Patsy and Bill. So I cut it in half and cut it up for them in chops and a roast.
|
this is our half, 4 boneless hopes and 3 pork roast not bad for $7.00 each. |
|
lotsa good eating here for 7 bucks |
|

Suzie reading in the shade |
Now we have a Crokinole board that Suzie's Dad custom made with a Lazy Susan on the bottom and 4 sticks (like Pool Cues) for shooting the buttons on the board, (easier and less painful than using you fingers).
|
Rob and I practicing |
Then we got Suzie and Patsy into the fun so we had teams. Lotsa laughs and fun games we enjoyed. Perfect weather for it as well.
|
we having too much fun |
|
Rob planning his strategy |
Then we heard a plane buzzing around overhead. Looks like Bill got one of his planes out to fly, perfect weather for it. He was having fun too. So we watched his fancy moves for a while.

A bit later time to whip up supper, I made a salad, and grilled 2 cobs of corn gifted from Rob and Pat to grill on or Weber Q with a Turkey breast.
|
about 45 minutes later done to perfection |
|
what a tasty meal we enjoyed, and yup leftover turkey is always good for lunches/ |
After supper we joined our friends for a while around a campfire and got caught up exchanging stories and have in few laughs.
|
our group is expanding |
|
a great fire to enjoy |
About 8:45 I was getting chilling and had a long day so headed inside after grabbing a shot of this wonderful sunset we enjoyed tonight.

Looks like you had a really fun day, I like to buy pork loins when they go on sale as well.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was a fun day and love the pro loins too.
DeleteThose planes are SO cool!! I've never heard of that game you're playing. How does it work? Beautiful weather you are having. It finally got all the way down to 75 last night in Tucson!!!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are cool planes Bill has been building and flying for a very long time.. Crokinole was develop in sou'wester Ontario in 1876 and has been a family favourite for years, most of us as kids and even adults have played this game for years.
DeleteYes the weather is amazing. 60 f overnight here.
I have not heard of Crokinole before, looks like fun! And Suzi's dad sure made a nice looking one, putting it on top of a Lazy Susan - genius!
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun board game invented here in southwest Ontario 1876.
DeleteThe lazy Suzan and sticks make it even more fun.
"The Ridge" sure is a nice property. Good fun with friends.
ReplyDeleteThey do have a beautiful property here, and fun to enjoy it with our friends as well.
DeleteThis is interesting. Never seen a Crokinole board before.
ReplyDeleteLike that last picture......
The Crokinole is a fun family game we grew up with. The sunset was excellent thanks.
DeleteWhat great times we have when we all get together! It was a wonderful day. Loved the crokinole fun and watching Bill fly his plane too.
ReplyDeleteWe always have fun time together and the weather has been perfect.
DeleteIt was a perfect day and a few more to come.
We are really interested in the Crokinole board. Is Suzie's dad interested in selling us one? We could meet up with you in Arizona this winter.
ReplyDeleteHer Dad is not making them any more, he got rid of the jigs he made. Sorry Dan.
DeleteYou can buy some on line I believe. You can look us up when we get to Arizona though.
Good fun...😎
ReplyDeleteYes guys we did have a lot of fun.
