busy day…

my middle grandson was dropped off to mow the grass and do a few other pieces of work for me…

he mowed, whipper snipped, pulled weeds, moved furniture and the new umbrella, filled bird/squirrel feeders, and cleaned up patio stones…

it was a hot day for digging around the stones, but it looks so much better… still have more to do the next time he is here… he is a lovely young man and I enjoy the time we have together;-)…

the front yard and garden look tidy and fresh… I sat out for a while after he left but then came in as rain appeared to be on the way and arrived with thunder and lightning…

a most amazing woman brought Captain’s Table fish and chips over (one of my favourites) for supper and we ate inside… the downpour had finally stopped, but it was cool outside… eventually we were able to take a tour of the garden and visit on the deck…

I am so blessed with all the special people who are, and have been, in my life…

sheets…

what a wonderful evening…

supper out with some very special women…

tried shrimp stuffed eggplant at Blaze Bistro… tasty…

then it was off for pedicures… such fun…

as we left the spa the sky was dark gray… getting into the car it was starting to spit…

by the time I arrived home I’d driven through sheets of rain, loads of lightening and waterlogged streets… that part wasn’t so fun, lol…

as I write this the thunder is rolling around the sky… it looks amazing out there… and is currently sounding like fireworks… yikes…

but my toes are stunning;-)…

raceday…

as we drove out to Rabbit Lake for the Regatta we stopped so I could get a shot of the runway, lol…


reminded me of driving along Ness by the airport…

it was a lovely sunny day, until it wasn’t… all of a sudden these huge dark clouds appeared and the thunder started rolling… 


our guy was at the start line for his first race ever when they announced that everyone had to come off the water…

then we waited to see if the downpour was going to stop… in the club, along with all the boats they had sandwiches, fruit, treats and souvenirs, which we might never have seen without the rain, lol…


all the grandparents stood around under the awning with the mother and son and had a snack…

there was one lighting strike right across the lake which had everyone jump about a foot off the ground… we could smell the ozone… after about 45 minutes the rain stopped and clouds broke up… 

the sky cleared and the races were back on… our boy did very well… he finished his singles… it was a long way… 


then he had to come back to the dock and jump into the boat with his doubles partner and off they went… they got a third place in that race… all in all it was an excellent start to his rowing career…

lots of fun to watch but we did learn that we are going to need binoculars for this sport, lol…
