Wednesday, August 23rd, 2017….. This morning we all got up pretty early. Penny drove her car and Rick and I followed
her to her house in the truck. I didn’t
mention this before but her house is on Falcon Ct. so Lydia started calling it
Falcon Crest. Pretty fair because Penny
calls our house South Fork! We took stock of the next items we needed for the
day and then took off to Lowe’s in Albany.
Among other things, she ended up purchasing her new washer and dryer
there. Luckily Rick’s military discount
got her 10% off, even for the washer and dryer! She set up delivery for later
down the road, after painting is done. We made a few other stops and picked up
more items plus stopped by to see Aimee at ReMax to drop off the lock box and
pick up a letter faxed to Lydia by her doctor. She needed it to send it for our
health care transition to up here. Her and Janie stopped by Subway and picked
up lunch and met us at the house. We made
pretty quick work of the tasks today and we headed home. Penny stayed and cleaned a few cabinets and
made a list for her next tasks. She is
having a contractor come by to give her a bid for painting and other
repairs/improvements around the house. She
is also having Kirk come over to get a look at her yard for that upcoming
work. Later, after all of us were home
and had rested a bit, we headed off to Ma’s for Chinese. Thanks Rick and Janie for picking up the
bill! After dinner, we headed back home
and settled in for the night, watching both AGT shows. We again chose our picks for those who should
leave and I got all five right this time!
Thursday, August 24th, 2017….. This
morning was sad. Penny said her goodbyes
to Rick and Janie and went over to the house.
We hung around for the morning while they prepped the rig for their
return trip. They ended up pulling out
about 9:30am. It was nice to have them
here with us and sad to see them go.
They are great friends and we’re glad they could come up and spend some
time with us.
After they left, we did
some weed pulling and then kicked back and rested and had lunch. Later, we took
some tools over to my sister’s house, including my tall ladder. She wanted to get to the stuff stored in her
attach that someone in the house, either the original owner or one of the
tenants, had left. There was nothing of
any real value. We ended up with a
lighted sled and reindeer (for our porch) for our Christmas display. She gave a
box of toys/books to her neighbor for their little girl and/or goodwill
donation. We also spent some time with John, another neighbor, who gave us a
little history about her neighborhood. Turns out the one HUGE house in her area
was once owned by the founder of her development. Later, we returned home and
had leftovers and watched little league (me) and taped shows (Lydia) and Penny
went to bed.
