Another
day and another trip to Albany! I still
wanted those workshop cabinets and they were on sale today only so off we went
again! I bought one cabinet and two
racks plus I picked up a lawnmower for my sister’s yard. Hey – everything was
50% off!
Once back and
unloaded, we had a relaxing day of doing very little. Later in the afternoon,
Penny got a call that she had been waiting for – the house was done and ready
for the walk through! We ate and she headed
over. We cleaned up a bit and then followed
in our car. The house was indeed empty
but we all found things that needed to be addressed before closing. Aimee will convey all of that to the seller’s
agent to be addressed.
Sunday, August 20th, 2017…..
This morning we all slept in and then took off
for breakfast about 10:00am. We went to
Applewoods, one of the larger local restaurants in Lebanon. The eclipse crowd has made it to Oregon to be
in the viewing belt and we’ve been told that everything will be crowded. There were folks in there but it was a Sunday
morning-after church-meal day for most so we got a table right away. After a good meal, we did a drive-by Penny’s
house. There was activity but we didn’t
stop. But it looks like they’re at least working on getting it done. The seller wants to close too! We left there and then drove out Hwy 20 to
Sweet Home (15 miles west of us) to see that area and Foster Lake. Even that area was pretty quiet. There is a local area here on Hwy 20 where
they have festivals and fairs and concerts and such and they have opened it to
campers for the eclipse. That area was
pretty full but still not too much traffic and the lake wasn’t crowded. We got back home and chilled out for the day
with nothing on the agenda. Penny got a
text that the house was again ready. She
and the girls went to check it out. Rick and I watched little league games out
in my motorhome. The girls got back (the
house was good to go!) and later, they called us in for dinner. They fixed Janie’s chicken casserole, with rice-a-roni
as a side and blackberry cobbler or lemon cake for dessert. Very good! We watched some taped programs
while Penny talked on her phone to her friends about the events today. Tomorrow is eclipse day so we made plans –
get up, go outside and relax on the porch – and wait! Total eclipse is a little
after 10:00am.
