rain delay

 Day 9. Rain. The guys got some work done this morning, including the fussy bit beside the pool but heavy rain curtailed their day. Boo Hiss!

In the morning Carm and I drove to liquidation for one more large planter and an outdoor carpet… I picked up three skorts for $5 cause, you know, one can never have enough skorts! We were home in time for me to serve a little lunch (garlic ribs w celery and cucumber). Then after a try in the rain, John and Roy left for the day. It’s been coming down hard for a few hours now :-(

The weekend was hot and humid but we had enough deck around the pool for 2 chairs (and much more if we’d wanted to heft stuff on just to lug it off. Friday night Trudie & Leo came for a light supper… as soon as the deck is finished we’ll start inviting all the people that we haven’t seen for ages! We miss you!

 

Lupa gets to play with this toy from Aunty Kirsten every night at supper. She’s had it since we got her and still loves it.

Lupa hit 10 months yesterday and at 15lbs we hope she’s fully grown. She has calmed down a bit but still has to bark when someone comes into the house. One or two barks would be okay but she goes on and on no matter what I do. She is a yappy challenge! 

It was a day of discouragement with the rain bringing things to a halt.

Awesome!

“seeing a small table that would be perfect for by the pool at liquidation but it was too expensive so I checked the costco site and it’s way cheaper online!”
