September 12, 2016. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Rita and Ian.

They arrived this afternoon.  We were delighted to see them.  Actually, do one was here to greet them.  When they drove into the yard, Ken was upstairs at the computer and I was on the way home from the grocery store.  Ken never did notice they had arrived until I phoned him when I called him down for lunch.  In true fashion, by the time I got home, Ian had walked the property and was sitting on the lower deck watching the sea, while Rita had already unloaded the dishwasher.  Rita is such a wonderful worker bee.  

This season, Rita is doing a different type of needle work, called Swedish Weaving.  She likes it because she can work and talk at the same time.  It looks to me like a type of embroidery done on a woven blanket.  Eventually, it will be a lap blanket.

We will enjoy their company and we will benefit from their efforts.  Ian will change a light bulb in our bedroom and he will put the window back into the storm door in the dining room.  It is too heavy for Ken and I to handle.  And of course, Rita will take over the kitchen although I am better than last summer, so we will work together with meals.  Our freezer is still full so I announced that we will buy no more food until the freezer is empty,  except of course for milk, fruit and salad stuff.  The same with beer.  We have light beer in the fridge, which Ian does not like but I told him no buying beer until the supply in the garage fridge has gone.   So we will have fun and we will eat up the food from the freezer and we will enjoy each others company.  What could be better than that.
