Tuesday, August 29th, 2017….. After checking in to see how everyone slept on
their airbeds (Bill and RoyAnne on the queen in Lydia’s craft room, and Judy on
the twin in my office) we got ready and I took them out to breakfast at
Appletree. Penny joined us and then left for her house. We drove through
Lebanon and then showed them Sweet Home and Foster Lake. We returned to town and went over to show
them Penny’s place. We came back home
and visited and Lydia drove with RoyAnne to Lowe’s in Albany to show her the
sliding screen door we purchased. She is
interested and wanted to check it out.
Bill and Judy and I stayed back and visited. Later, when the girls got back we decided to
go try James Gang Pizza in town. We had
heard it was the best around but we hadn’t been yet. It was good pizza and cold beer and the
prices were reasonable. We’ll go back again – nice to find local eateries! We
returned to the house and sat out on the porch and then went in to watch
America’s Got Talent. At least some of
us – Penny and Judy both called it a night and headed off to their rooms to
wind down and sleep off the carbs! We
watched the 12 acts and each picked our 5 to not go through. Tomorrow we will find out who did the best.
Wednesday, August 30th, 2017….. The
family was headed out this morning but Judy wanted to take us all out to
breakfast before they left. We went to
Shari’s and all had a nice meal. Thanks,
Judy. They bought a couple of pies to
take back and after Penny said her goodbyes and headed to her house again the
rest of us headed back to the house.
Both RoyAnne and Judy wanted cuttings off our star jasmine so I just dug
out some smaller plants and we bagged them and packed them for the trip. We
said our goodbyes and they got on their way. Sorry to say the smoke from the
fires had made it a pretty nasty drive up and they were going to hit more of
the same all the way back to Chico (fires were also in NoCal). But the visit was great. We got to know them better and they said they
enjoyed the visit with us very much.
Hopefully they rest of the family can make it up here to visit in the
near future.
After they
left, I took off to Penny’s and did a few things (busted up a toilet and dumped
it in her trash, replaced a hose bib on her outside faucet, helped paint a post
in her garage, etc.) After that, I drove over to Albany to a couple of
electrical supply houses in search of the elusive outdoor receptacle plate for
Penny’s house (no luck finding one). I
met up with Lydia later at Penny’s and we all went to Carl’s Jr. for dinner
(thanks sis!) and went home. We all
watched the AGT results show. Janie had called with her and Rick’s picks
already. Bill got 2. Lydia, RoyAnne,
Janie, and Rick all got 3 and I got 4.
