Thursday, September 28th, 2017…...
Our first day in a while without room guests! Jody and Penny came by today so she could get
the last of her things. They said they
had a nice first night in her home – slept well. Quincy is getting used to her
new digs too! She has a neighbor dog
(big dog!), Louie, that she will have to get used to as well. Penny is going to block a larger hole in the
fence so they can’t snarl at each other through it. Back at our house, I worked
on getting the craft room set back up for Lydia and cleaned the micron filter
on the washer, then went out to work a while in my shop. Kirk came by today
because tomorrow we are getting rain and he wanted to get in a good day’s work
on bark for the islands. Later, Lydia baked some salmon and made fried potatoes
and cooked some peas which made for a nice dinner. We had a few shows to watch and then went to bed.
Friday, September 29th, 2017…... This morning there was a bit of clouds
coming in. We decided to go try Skyline
for breakfast since we liked their dinners so much. On the way, we made a quick stop at the local
metal fab shop to see if they could work on my bent axle on the trailer. Yep! I
will be bringing it in next week so that’s good news. Then on to Sweet Home. Breakfast was very
good. I had their giant chicken fried
steak with hash browns and eggs and gravy (good gravy!) which I won’t do next time
- it was way too much food! They have a senior
menu with smaller portions that we can order from next time. We came home (through the light sprinkles) and
I got started on my rainy-day project - sanding down the wainscoting in the
dining room. We like the craftsmanship
and all, but in this room there is way too much oak for our tastes! I had to
sand the varnish off the wood so I can prep it for painting.
The walls will be
a nice gray and the wainscoting will be white. Later, we joined Penny and Jody at,
of all places, the local bowling alley, for dinner. They have claimed to have the best burger in
town so we had to go. Well, it was
pretty good! I had their bodacious
burger, which comes with two patties, ham, bacon, cheese and a fried egg! Lydia
had a cheeseburger and Pepsi. They also
have deep fried mushrooms which we shared.
With a glass of beer for me, it wasn’t exactly a healthy meal but it was
sure delicious! The bowling alley is
pretty nice too. 18 lanes! We may come back sometime and bowl a few games.
We returned home and took off to our respective rooms to relax and watch our
taped programs.
