Back behind the wheel (thats a scary thought)
Yesterday Mom and I went down to help Wilma do some landscaping work at Danny and Marty Murphy's house in Stanhope P.E.I. For anyone who doesn't know, Danny murphy owns all the Tim Horton's on PEI, along with a bunch of other companies and businesses. His wife, Marty, owns a bunch of Wendy's restaurants and a Tim Horton's out in Fort Mac, AB. We went to work on the flower beds after we took in the sight of the humongous spread they have. Behind the house they have a huge stable full of horses and some other animals, like pigs, a bunch of dogs and 2 peacocks!! We got to go into a little part of their house just to use the bathroom. It has HUGE like 15 foot ceilings maybe taller. It is beautiful! As we were working their kids were driving by on their mopeds and 4-wheelers and stuff. There was a bunch of people at the stables, and a bunch of tents were set up around the place, as they were getting ready for a big horse show. We did the best we could, weeding out the overgrown flower beds, and trying to shape up the weed population, but there was still some beds left untouched when we left, because there was simply not enough time. We had to go pick up Kara at Cows, so we happily trooped in to Canada's #1 Ice Cream place, looking like we just came from playing in the dirt or something. Explosive windswept hair, dirt-stained hands, brown knees and sneakers. We enjoyed the cones just as well. When we rushed back to the MacLeod's, we shoveled in some supper, and had to leave again to go to Montague for the tent meeting. Mom went back home to go to the tent meeting in Unionvale. Meeting was EXCELLENT! Both preachers were on fire. On the way back, I hitched a ride with Ruth in her car, along with Melody, and Emily. We decided to have a little visit at the Hyde's, which turned into a long visit. Rosal, who is visiting here for a few weeks was also there, because she's staying at their house for a bit. We had a wonderful time, and only broke out of there at 11:40. Pulling out of their driveway, a sight met our eyes, well more like a light met our eyes. That light would happen to be the gas light. Yep, at 11:40pm. Luckily for us, as we were coming up to Summerside, Ruth had the bright idea to check the Ultramar. And wadda ya know, it was open! In case your wondering, the Ultramar in Summerside is open 24hrs, just to let you know. By the time I got home, it was 12:45. I slept in until 10:45 this morning, the longest since like..... I don't know. Its been a while anyway. |
