Sunday, September 24th, 2017…...
We always lounge around on Sundays and today
was no exception. Except everyone
lounged in the car as I drove us to the coast for seafood! This time we drove up 30 miles to Salem and
then went west from there (Hwy 22) and it took us to Hwy 101 just north of
Lincoln City. We stopped at a farmer’s
market/boutique where we picked up a few things. This is our new starfish cell
phone recharging station. Not bad for $10.!
We then found
Fathom to try for ‘linner’. It was right
on the coast and you entered on the 9th floor of a hotel and went up
one flight to the bar/restaurant. The
restaurant was closed (they were between the Sunday brunch and dinner hours) so
we ate in the bar. Lydia tried their prime rib sandwich and Jody, Penny I had
the fish and chips each with a cup of clam chowder soup (very good soup here
too – but doesn’t compare with Skyline!).
After the nice meal (thanks Jody & Penny!) we kept going south enjoying
the coastline until we got to Newport where we picked up Hwy 20 which took us
home to relax and watch tv until calling it a night.
Monday, September 25th, 2017…... Today
was a work day. Penny and Jody headed
over to the house to meet with the contractor. Lydia and I ate breakfast and then went
to Walmart for a few items for dinner. I went out to the workshop and worked on
the safety chain for my trailer then cleaned up a few areas in the shop area.
After a quick lunch I went out and talked a bit with Kirk who was working again
today moving bark into the beds. I have
an area close to the house that I have cleared of grass and weeds that I am
wanting to use in the future for rv parking.
It’s in my plan to have it concreted when the rv garage is built – but only
if it’s in my budget. Meanwhile, I think I’ll have Kirk put bark on the
dirt. I can still park a rig there (no
power at this time) but the plus is that it does have a sewer dump. Will have him do that last so I can think
more on it. After that, I got the tractor out and cut the grass. The rains sure
made it grow fast! I don’t have a
catcher for the tractor yet so the cuttings have to remain on the lawn as
mulch. I’m told I only have a month left
before it will be too wet to mow anymore. Maybe I can get a catcher next
season. The girls got back and they started in on fixing dinner. We heated up the chicken lasagna and Lydia
made biscuits and Penny and Jody made salad.
It was good! After the meal, I
headed out to the porch to finish up the rest of the ‘fireball’ I had left in
the cupboard. Lydia watched tv but Penny
and Jody brought wine out to sit with me.
It was very relaxing. Tomorrow is work day at her house so we made those
plans tonight. We followed it up with tv (DWTS) until bedtime.
