Sunday, July 16th, 2017….. I
woke up early from a nice restful sleep in our new bed! We showered, ate, and
then got started on our day. Most of the rest in pod #2 is garage stuff plus
smaller items for the house. That stuff was what I worked on this morning. That
pod is now empty! We also moved some furniture
items around in our bedroom so that’s done now as well. I reassembled my office desk and got that set
up. Then it was back to the last
pod. Pod #3 has more garage stuff than
anything. I moved a few items out and
then took the rest of the day off. Tour
de France, Nascar, Indy Car and Formula 1 races were on my list to catch up on
so the work can wait until tomorrow. Hey, I’m retired – if I can’t get it done
today, there’s always tomorrow!
Monday, July 17th, 2017….. We
had another good night’s sleep. Or rather I did. Lydia is having trouble
catching up on her sleep. I started in
on pod #3. Meanwhile, Lydia worked on unpacking her kitchen stuff and figuring
where everything should go. I’m sure she
will rearrange it before she is through. I got about ¾ of the pod emptied. Some boxes go to the workshop, some to the
garage. I am removing all of the tape so
we can see in and figure out where it goes.
This is what I have so far for the workshop.
After a day
of toting boxes, we called it an evening.
We made up a list of things we needed to pick up (or at least check
prices. We drove back to Eugene and went
to their Lowes. We are looking for new
toilet seats, cabinets for the garage, shelves for the closet, new drawer pulls
for the master bath, etc. etc. We are also looking for a microwave. We left our over the range model in Ca. and
Walt took his countertop model, so we have been using the motorhome’s
microwave. We found some that we liked but will shop around before getting
one. We stopped at Arby’s because neither
of us had lunch. This would be linner. We
also stopped at Mattress Firm to return the second mattress cover that our guy had
misordered. We were able to exchange it
for a queen size for the guest bed so that was easy. While we were there we
decided to go to our now favorite movie theater to see Despicable Me3. It was
pretty good. Once back home I started in on a few more boxes since it was still
light out. Our neighbors, Paul and Corey
were out walking their goldendoodle puppy, Ollie, and stopped by to introduce
themselves. Rich, from next door saw us
and came over. They welcomed us to the
block and gave us a little history of Oak Creek Estates. It sounds like a pretty nice block of
neighbors. Hope we fit in! After that it got dark and I closed up
everything and went to bed.
