July 30 Around Freeland

We started the day mostly malingering around the trailer before settling down into total inactivity. There are big herds of bunnies here so I was quite content spending the day watching them try to steal food from each other and copulating. Bunnies do indeed do it like bunnies. Peggy’s sister arrived around 0900 to transport Peggy into Langley for stuff they do not need. They seemed to have a wonderful time although 3 hours of browsing yielded scant results. I am a poor shopper and believed I would be unwelcome on such a trip.
Eventually some boredom set in and we have a strict unwritten rule against being bored so we invited ourselves over to Peggy’s sister’s and brother-in-law’s place in nearby Freeland. They have a lightning-fast wifi arrangement and I was able to upload all my bloggy stuff and some pictures while comfortably seated at their dining room table. They also had great beer so we ended up spending most of the afternoon hobnobbing. Peggy and Tonie engaged in extensive sister chat, moving from indoors to outdoors and back without interruption.
Tonie and George have recently purchased a great house at the end of a private road and it is a very nice spot. No traffic nor dust nor visible neighbors on 3 sides nor noise make for a very nice lifestyle. George alleges the only drawback to the place seems to be a massive lawn that needs mowing and a few spindly trees will need the ax before mowing can be done properly with a tractor. George is a vigorous worker so I anticipate fewer trees the next time we visit. We returned to our trailer before the in-laws were obliged to serve us another meal.
