Tuesday, September 12th, 2017….. Today
was bug zapper day! Our pest control guy
started round one of spraying and getting rid of webs. He came pretty early and got started on the
inside first, spraying all along our baseboards. We don’t have any signs so far
in the house but better to be safe….. He
went outside and knocked down all the webs and nests and sprayed after that,
both outside the house and the workshop.
We’ll see if that kills them off….
Penny took
Quincy over to her new house today for her first visit. I went out and finished up my sprinkler work
on the front island. I still need an
inline timer but I’m looking for one brand in particular. I’ll go online later and search for it. But
for now, the system works and they can cover that bed now with bark/mulch.
The girls
surprised me with another birthday dinner! Turns out they had planned on taking
me to Skyline Inn in Sweet Home on Monday but I surprised them when I
wanted Coburg Pizza! Skyline was closed
on Mondays so it worked out that we went this evening. Penny and I both had the special $15.95 bbq
and shrimp dinner with baked potato and soup or salad. I chose the clam chowder. I had had it here when Mike and Pat were visiting
with us and really liked it. They have
it on the menu every day (kind of a specialty). And it is The Best Clam Chowder
in Oregon! Hear that Bill! Lydia ordered the $15.95 steak and oysters
special. It was one huge meal for each
of us! And to top it off, Penny ordered
a chocolate pie to take home. They boxed
it and I carried it out. I swear it
weighed 12 lbs! We were too full so we will
have to eat it tomorrow.
Wednesday, September 13th,
2017….. This
morning we got up bright and early and drove to Corvallis for the Wednesday
Farmer’s Market. I wanted pupusas. We
parked on the opposite end from their booth and I could hardly wait until we
got there. I had my order in and waited
for the girls to catch up. They were
buying fruits and veggies along the way.
I also tried their chicken tamale, which Penny had as well and Lydia sampled. It was excellent! We stopped by Home Depot on
the way home and Penny bought some more light switch covers and floor registers
for after the painting. Kirk and Caleb
were here today laying out more bark so when we got home I went out and made
sure the island sprinklers were in place and trimmed up a tree before the guys got
out there (turns out they didn’t get that far today anyway). Penny took off for her house and I broke out
the pie! Lydia even brought out some for the guys. After that I went over to Penny's and we
tackled some more errant sprinklers and repaired some others. The tenants had gravel spread out next to the
garage but the sprinklers still worked there so Penny dug them out and capped
them while I got more repaired in the back yard. We even found bark spread out
over yard cloth that covered some of the sprinklers. When we turned them on you could hear them
running but they were covered! Duuuhhh!
We fixed those and I headed home while she stayed and waited for the bug
guy to come do her house. We ate leftover ribs and had more pie (she did - I
was full). Here’s what this gigantic thing looked like!
We ended the
evening watching the America’s Got Talent results show.
