Today we had glorious sunny weather again. I'm feeling spoiled. We galavanted about the town shopping for groceries and other odds and ends and then home again to do a little around the yard. I made some snacks for the hockey game and we awaited Neil and Debbie's arrival with grandma. We sat and got ourselves fully engrossed in the game with grandma putting a little word in now and then. She was almost giddy when they scored and had a few things to say when she couldn't figure out what was happening on the ice. After the awesome win by the Canuck's we all went to sit outside and chit chat. I love chit chat. People sometimes say things that are totally unexpected. This time it was grandma. As Debbie picked up a snail on my deck and we exchanged stories of snails, grandma had one of her own. She related to us the time she lived in Yarrow and found a bunch of them. She thought they would look nice around the dirt inside her plant pots in the house. So she arranged them all around the outside of the inside of the pots and when she got up the next morning was surprised to find them all gone. They apparently hadn't gone far, one on the wall, one on the couch.......well you get the idea. No, I have no idea why she thought they would stay there. She said she thought they were empty. So that was my chuckle for the day. We took some pictures outside and Neil and Debbie were nice enough to pose for a couple. What a great couple they make. Loved visiting with them and wished they could stay longer. So until tomorrow I bid you good bye and as a wise old woman taught us, don't collect snails for your plant pots.
