06-28-25 Another Family Day
It was nice to have a good sleep in my own bed. I meant to get myself to the Guedes’s house in time to say goodbye to Haylee and Jack. she is the daughter of Roger’s oldest sibling, Travis, who passed from cancer years ago. I have not seen her since she was quite a bit younger on Salt Spring Island and it was such a pleasure to spend some time with her. She is a lovely young lady and her boyfriend Jack is also very sweet.
Gene showed me that his Fluevog are starting to separate a bit at the toes so I’ve got a follow up and see what can be done
10 of us went to see Lilo and Stitch. I quite enjoyed it. Rae still feels that the original is the best and it is one of her favorites.
I had a brainstorm to buy three large popcorn for $30 and ask for small bags for the kids so that I can split it between everybody.
After the movie, Jake, who had taken my car and gone to Hot Shots to do some work, came back and he and Emmy and I went to Shoe Co to see if they were yellow crocs, which she desires. There were not, unfortunately. Ashlée picked us up at the mall and we went and had a short visit with GG. We are all still pretty annoyed with her that she wouldn’t come out for the family dinner visit after grad. Her excuse is that she doesn’t like crowds. She’s cutting herself off but expects people to bring her things and do what she needs.
Once back at the house. We played a game of Outsmarted in teams and it was fun. Jake and Emmy were ’Outfarted’ and they won
It was nice to hang around out in the yard and visit. It was a lovely surprise when Diana popped by to bring Gene a grad card.
I popped home to pick up materials to crochet a blanket for Maia‘s baby and then to Safeway for zucchini. Roger loves his wife very much and it is their anniversary and one of her favourite food foods is grilled zucchini. Bill supplied some amazing steaks and we had a delicious dinner followed by Bill’s homemade rhubarb pie.
Tanner, Rae’s friend, showed up for a visit. She is working in Castlegar now it is good to have her closer than Winnipeg. Her and Jake got into a battle of asking Alexa to play songs to annoy each other. The constant changing of songs every 30 seconds was making me crazy so I said goodbye to the Knights who will be leaving in the morning and took my leave. I am loving her beautiful. My tiger lilies are even though they were dug up to do the walkway.
