This morning was pretty laid back until I had a visit from the wine fairy. For some time now I have been subscribed to nakedwines.com and shipping to my son-in-law, Ken who lives in Kalispell until they get him status here in canada. Unfortunately, due to Covid I cancelled my contract as I had two cases stuck with him. He brought one case with him as I said I would pay the duty regardless. He usually just brings the duty free two bottles with him. Turns out they were more interested in his stay than what he was bringing which was good for me. Included in the case of random bottles of red wine were the cans of white I decide to try on a whim. I will say, the wine was good but out of a can was odd. I put the next one into a glass.
Later in the day, I watched The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt movie with choose your own options and I have to admit I really liked the interaction. I watched all the options, and found myself fascinated by the production of it all. My neighbour gave me some plants she started: bamboo, perennial sunflower and a peach coloured peony. I planted them and hope for the best.
Lukas was the first to arrive and he tried to take Layla for a walk but she just kept looking back for me so we all went. When we returned he was sitting beside her on the front steps when the neighbour came over for a chat and Layla started barking which was so strange. I can only imagine she was protecting Lukas.
Everyone else arrived, decorations were hung, bevies were poured, BBQ, fire pit and swimming and we were celebrating Ken being with us and having a celebration of The 4th of July.
Ken is my son-in-law who is an American citizen. He moved from Michigan to Kalispell, Montana to be nearer to Ashlée before their wedding. They have been separated for 189 days due to Covid-19 as he was at his home when the lockdown happened. They finally allowed spouses to cross and he came in time to have 14 days isolation at Ashlée’s apartment while she stayed at her Dad’s before today so we could all be together. I wish we could have had fire works and more but we are just glad he is here now and under Dr. Bonnie’s (BC Top Dr) care with the rest of us.
It was fun to eat and drink and chat and visit, still in very separate little pods in my yard for the better part. The neighour across the way offered her Schwinn Tricycle and extra helmets and other games that just added to the fun. The only one to get hurt was Layla as she was enjoying her ride with Sawyer and then decided she was done but the leap down was bigger that she realized. She is good now and I already let her Mom know Auntie Marnée broke her.
Gene and Lukas stayed and played Disney Infinity before heading to bed in my guest tent. They are very thrilled to be sleeping out there. It is nice the boys are getting older too, it takes us in to new adventures.
