Friday, August 25th, 2017….. We got a call yesterday that Mike and Pat were
close to getting their rig fixed and would like to come stay with us a few
days. No worries. We knew where to park
Rick and Janie and Mike and Pat’s motorhome will fit right there as well! They are coming Saturday so I needed to go
get a connector from Camping World to repair my 30 amp electrical cord I used
for Rick and Janie’s coach. I also want to mow the lawn today but it’s too wet
in the mornings so Lydia and I headed down toward Eugene with the idea we would
stop in Brownsville for breakfast.
Meanwhile, Penny stayed behind and made calls for insurance, financial
planning, etc. while we were gone. We didn’t see anything open for breakfast in
Brownsville so we went on to Camping World and I got my connector and then we
continued on into Eugene where we stopped at Elmer’s for breakfast. We returned
home and I set out to get the lawn mowed. I tried out
Penny’s lawnmower for the rain ditch out by the street (sweet and better than
string trimming!) and then got out the tractor and did the yard. Meanwhile,
Penny and Lydia went into Albany to Home Depot to check out carpeting for her
bedrooms. They got back and Penny went back to her house and we ran some
errands and stopped at Jack in the Box and got dinner. I went out to the shop
and put the electrical cord together and then came in and we watched tv for a
while and then called it a night.
Saturday, August 26th, 2017….. I
did some bill paying this morning and then got the house ready for
vacuuming. I really like the built-in
system we have here. And we have setups
for carpet as well as for the hardwood floors. It makes short work of that
chore! Afterward, I went out to the workshop and cut up some more cardboard for
the recycle bin. With all the shelving and stuff we have purchased, we sure do
have a lot of cardboard and Styrofoam to recycle! With the plastics and recycles from the
house, I cut up the cardboard and break up the Styrofoam to fill up the
container before trash day. After I
finished the cardboard, I started cutting up branches I trimmed the other day so
they would fit in the trash container. Right
as I was finishing that up, Mike and Pat Myers pulled up in their rv. I got them backed in and hooked up and we
visited for a while. My sister had
already left for her house. While she is
waiting for the work to be done (painting and carpeting and before the pod is
ordered up) she wants to go in and do a heavy cleaning of the cabinets,
cupboards, fridge, etc. when everything is empty. We decided to go over and harass and/or help
her. Mike and I fixed a window adjuster
and I added a doorstop plus put in some bulbs in the patio lights. We hung around for a while and talked then
came back to the house to drop off her car and then we headed out to Sweet Home
to the Skyline Diner for dinner. We hadn’t
been there before so why not try it now!
It was good. I got the liver and
onions (not bad) and Lydia got prime rib which she said was good as well. We will go back again. We drove them up to and
around Foster Lake before returning home.
Mike and I watched the playoff games.
Lufkin Texas goes up against Japan tomorrow. It will be a tough game for
Texas but we’ll see.
