Tuesday, June 13th, 2017….. Today the inspections start at the house. Up today was the septic system. We drove up and met with Lisette the
inspector. She gave me a lot of very
helpful information about these systems including how it works and more
importantly how to maintain it. We have
a pump that comes on whenever the level gets to 2/3 full. It pumps waste out to the drainfield (which
is waaay out to the right of the acreage!).
The owner (Walter) has never had any issues but the inspection showed a
few items he needs to repair. But mostly good news. The other good news is that
we also heard from Aimee that Walt said he now expects to be in his new house
sooner so we can hope that happens and we can get in sooner. We left there and
went into town and found a trial place for Lydia to get her nails done. I have done both manis and pedis many times
and love them. So I joined her and opted for the pedicure. She will try other places in
Lebanon before she chooses one but she liked this one (I did too!). We stopped at TacoTime for a quick lunch then
made another stop at Walmart for water and toothpaste and then headed home for
a few hours rest before making grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner.
Wednesday, June 14th, 2017…..
Nothing on the calendar today but we did get some things set for
the kids wedding in Vegas next month. Plus we’re still working on an insurance
rider for the new home. Still waiting for quotes. We headed out later in the
morning and hit the stores and did some looking around for dress clothes for
the Vegas trip (since we didn’t pack anything suited for a wedding). We also
need at least one suitcase as ours are stored away. We will continue looking as
we get closer. Afterward, we went to the show.
We had gone to the Eugene Cinemark a week or so ago (and saw Pirates of
the Caribbean) and both of us were VERY impressed with their reserved theater
seating. Now we realize that these
places are also in SoCal, but the prices have always seemed too high so we’d
never been. Seats up here are
$5.25. You see a screen at the box office window
and choose your seats. Here’s what they
look like:
Really
comfortable even for my long legs! This
time we saw Guardians of the Galaxy which we both liked. Afterward, we went
back home and each of us fixed our own dinners: Lydia had leftover steak and
potatoes and I fixed tortellini and pasta sauce. Afterward, we took another
walk around the campground and then came back and watched tv for a while and
then called it a night.
