After work, we had an early supper of family favorite... tacos! Shaina and Cassidy headed out to catch horses to ride, we followed soon after stopping for our chai tea and an ice cap for the B getting out there at about 5:30.
All 3 girls rode while Sheldon and I loaded pallets, then ran to our good neighbors, Stout Imports and Acreage Implements to pick up a load of useful tools such as cement wheel barrow with trowels, weed sprayer, 4 new tires for the Buick and even a bonus block of cement for one of our many holes. No one worked at the ranch today as the painter forgot to mention that to start he needed all the baseboards and casement up! Hmm another lesson learned on our part.
Once back at the ranch we started loading rocks onto a pallet, wood onto another, extra rafters onto the skid steer while Britt moved them around. Although the temperature was 24 today, we do anticipate winter will surprise us so we need to clear all piles around the yard so no skidoo manages to finds them. Also by the end of the week Rick hopes to have the septic field finished and the inspector out to do his job then we can back fill. Sheldon then has grand plans to get the gravel put around the loop. Amazingly the time flies by when you are busy sorting stuff and trying to make pretty. But by 8 it was dark so we shut it down after trying to move the huge rail pile with little luck in the dark.
Off to Tims to meet Grama and Papa who just got home from their NYC trip. Yummy chai #3 for me today (however I did want to try the new pumpkin tea but they did not have it at the south one!) We had a nice hour visit hearing of their adventures in the city that never sleeps. Nine o'clock and they headed east to the hat and us home to shower, laundry, blog, homework and TV.
