A VISIT

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of welcoming DS #2 and his #2 daughter for a visit.  All our children and grandchildren live far away from us, so a visit is a great treat!!!  We worked together and relaxed together.

One important task was rolling out the 150' long plastic sheet for new covering for the #1 and #2 greenhouses:

This is a terrifically heavy roll of plastic, very high quality, rated for 4 years' wear on the greenhouses.  The greenhouses are 70' long, so the plastic must be cut into two pieces before being installed.  Installation will happen either later this summer, or perhaps next summer.  It's not easy to get together a crew for that job.

After work is done it's time to relax.  We are all avid readers of books, magazines and internet devices.  Here we are sitting in the solar space enjoying some leisure time.

 

The week flew by and yesterday it was time for them to go back home to B.C.  Parting always makes me teary-eyed.  

Jim talked with Geoffrey today as we wanted to be sure they had reached home safely.  They flew from the Calgary airport, but take-off was delayed by two hours because of stormy weather.

In August DD#2 and her two children are coming for a visit.  Nicely spaced from this visit.  It will give me time to wash the towels and sheets and prepare some food ahead.  We look forward to spending time with them!
