Friday, July 7th, 2017….. Although
we had a chance to sleep in today, I woke up
at 6:00am and couldn’t go
back to sleep. I went in and took a shower in the house (nice!) and came back
out and Lydia
was still sleeping. She eventually woke
up and took her shower. We ate breakfast
and watched a few minutes of the Tour de France and talked about our plans for
the day. We both wanted to get haircuts
and then she had a nail appointment @ 1:00.
Earlier I got a text and then a call from my sister saying that her
offer had been accepted! She’s still in
a situation of being both excited and nervous.
It’s a lifestyle change. We were ready for it but everyone is
different. Plus she’s by herself which
makes it harder. But at least she’ll be close by so that helps.
Later, we went to Walmart
and got our hair cut and then went shopping and picked up a few cleaning
supplies. We then went back home and after we unloaded the car I started up the
string trimmer and knocked down some of the weeds closest to the
motorhome.
Saturday, July 8th, 2017….. Last
week Aimee made the mistake of telling us she was performing (hula dancing)
with her group at the Corvallis Farmer’s Market today. So we decided to go surprise her. We rolled up to the downtown market street
and parked and walked around and checked out everything. It was a small area but there were a lot of
booths. And boy, what a selection of
vegetables! Huge tomatoes, huge sweet onions, super colorful rhubarb, etc.
etc.
We leave on Monday so we
didn’t buy too much, just a couple of tomatoes. We found the hula ladies.
Problem was we didn’t spot Aimee! Turns out she had a rough night sleeping last
night and begged out for today. Oh well, maybe next time. We drove back through town and stopped at
Sherwin Williams paint store to get some color swatches. Jeff has an account with them so we can get
his discount when we buy the paint. That
done we drove up to Albany
and stopped at Loafer’s, a place Aimee told us she and her hubby like to go for
dinner. We picked up a $100. gift card
which we will attach to a big dark chocolate candy bar (her favorite), along
with a thank you card, to give to her later. We ran the Honda through a car
wash and then later stopped at Lowe’s and picked up paint supplies. We stopped at Fred Meyer to get a couple of
thank you cards (the other for Mary, our agent in Eugene ). We also hit a few furniture/mattress
stores on the way back home. Once back,
we unloaded the car and each of us made our own lunches and then we rested and
watched the Tour de France. I spent some time laying out floor protection for
the dining room, which is the first room I will tackle once we get back from
Vegas.
I guess we must have had a
late lunch (didn’t notice the time) and neither of us felt hungry so we skipped
dinner and snacked later and settled in to watch tv.
Tell Penny congratulations!
