Sorry this is late. I'm doing two posts today to get caught up
Wednesday, July 12th, 2017….. Randy
and Maryanne will drive back home later this evening. Jeff & Krista fly out Friday. Pat leaves back to Indiana Thursday. We all 4 fly out
today. We checked out of the rooms and took
Penny to the airport. Rick and Janie
were staying until Thursday but they decided to go home a day early since it
was so hot plus they had their dogs boarded. Lydia ,
Frances
and I had some time. Lydia texted
both of the kids but they didn’t answer (turns out they were all at the pool).
So we took a drive out to Hoover Dam.
Nice desert drive. Glad we have
good ac in the car. Later, we drove to
Cracker Barrel and had dinner. We had
some time before Frances ’
flight so we went across the parking lot to the Bass Pro Shop and walked
around. I took Frances
to her airline and after we left we discovered she left her phone on the
charger. We drove back and missed the
loop and drove back again. By this time
I just dropped off Lydia to
find Frances
and I drove to the car rental lot and got the shuttle back and we checked in and
went through security and waited. Our
flight was delayed in San Francisco and our
connection to Eugene
would be tight. We did make it but the
brisk walk all the way across the terminal to our new gate was fun! We got back
to Eugene at
12:30am and after waiting for our bag got back home about 1:40am. We drove past our three pods that were
dropped off while we were gone (Yaay!) and parked and went straight to bed. Long day!
Thursday, July 13th, 2017…..
This morning Lydia
slept in and I got up, showered, and started in on the pods. Only lost one item to breakage (that we can
see). It will take several days to
systematically unload each one. Boxes
are marked but there are several hundred to remove! I left for a few minutes to
go to Xfinity/Comcast to get my internet ordered and set up for install. Later
in the morning the washer and dryer were delivered.
The guys set
up everything but they don’t hook up the gas lines. Lydia had purchased water lines and a dryer
kit w/gas lines so I pulled out the dryer and found that it was good to go but found
that they didn’t provide the water line used for the steam feature on the
dryer. We will go back to Lowe’s for
that later. But back to the pod for now. I managed to get all of the smaller,
lighter items out of pod # 1. With the
backs off all of the lazy boy living room pieces, I could move all of those items
in by myself. Lydia helped me with the coach and loveseat bottoms so we were
able to get that room set up. Still needs a rug but we’ll go shopping later
next week. The rest of the pod had all of the HEAVY bedroom furniture. I’m going
to need serious help with that!
After resting
a bit, we drove to Lowe’s to pick up the water line and returned and I got that
done. That's enough for today, I have jet lag, didn't sleep long enough last night plus I'm pooped from today!
