Sunday, September 10th, 2017….. Sunday
was a rest day for us. Penny went over to the house and Lydia and I kicked back
at home. She fixed dinner and we watched a few episodes of Guy’s Road Trip
series. He’s traveling around the US
with his family in a motorhome so it was interesting to us to see the
campgrounds and the stops he makes that we have been to.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! But
I bow and humbly share this day with the nation. I started out with plans to
mow the yard but I needed to make a stop first.
Last night my laptop wouldn’t boot up!
I tried for hours but nothing. It’s
an older laptop and I have been wanting to upgrade for a long time. I’ve researched for brands and systems that I
wanted. Luckily, the day before I got a flyer from Staples and they had a sale
on a model that works for me so I set out to go get it. No sales tax in Oregon so that helped. Yaay! We (Penny and I)
headed out to Albany. We stopped by her house and picked up all of her old
paint cans left behind (since she’s having the house repainted none were worth
saving) and took them to Miller Paint where she also got another color sample
to try out before deciding. We also stopped at Ace Hardware and I picked up
some sprinkler parts that I had ordered for my house. I managed to get her sprinkler heads adjusted
– yes, I had the directions this time! – and we headed back to the house. The grass was dry enough now so I got out the
tractor and got that going. With the red bark in the flowerbeds and the lawn
cut and the flowers planted, it looks pretty darn good now!
Later, I came
back in and got the laptop set up and working.
I like it. I also had another
appointment for an estimate on the rv garage. After he left, we took off to
Coburg Pizza for a nice birthday dinner. Thanks, Lydia and Penny!
Enjoying the best pizza!
I heard from a
lot of folks today (via phone, email, text, and Facebook) wishing me a happy
birthday. Thanks to all of you for your wishes.
