Today was set up as the return day for
Lydia. She had booked a later flight (arrival
in Portland at 9:07pm) so she got rolling mid-day Florida time. I got up and dressed and took Quincy for a
long walk and then fed her and then showered.
Then I went out and got breakfast and continued on to Costco to renew my
membership. We’ve had basic membership
forever and it was time to upgrade to Executive status so I took care of that
in the store. I headed back toward home but stopped at a guy’s home junk
business. He’s right on Hwy 20 so he
gets a lot of traffic. He has a ton of
stuff and I found a nice table that will work for my bench grinder (only $8.!)
I went home and took the Quinzinator out again and then did a bit of work in
the shop. I packed up her stuff and
headed back to Penny’s to drop her off and then took off toward Portland. I had several hours to kill so I drove to the
coast and then up. It was a nice drive
but I got a little rain on the coastal roads.
I made my way up to Tillamook and stopped in at the cheese factory and
had a few samples. They are in the
process of building a new visitor center and they are in temporary digs until
that’s done. It looks like it will be
nice when it’s done. I had dinner there
(grilled cheese and tomato soup) and then continued north. Oh yeah, I was listening to the game on the
radio as I was driving. What a
disappointment! We were done for in the
first two innings. Oh well, at least they made it to the world series! I made it to the airport with about 45
minutes of wait time which I did in the cell phone parking lot. She texted that she was out by the curb and I
got her and her luggage in and then we made the long drive back home (11:30pm)
and went to bed.

We wanted to sleep in a bit but Penny had a
doctor’s appointment at 10:00am in Salem (36 mi.) and we took her there. All went well. We stopped for lunch at Firehouse Subs which was
really good (it is my favorite sub shop!). Then we dropped her off back at home
to rest. We went home to rest as well. Later,
we talked about dinner. We were still full from lunch so we just snacked/nibbled
a bit. Lydia caught up on some of her
shows then we watched Survivor and then back to taped shows before going to bed
early.
