Wow, 100 blogs from
the start of our Oregon Adventure!
Thanks to those of you who have been following all this time. We realize that now that we are pretty much
settled in up here, my posts aren’t really that exciting. I’m sure you’re not too concerned to know
what we have for dinner each night. I know I wouldn’t want to read that over
and over. So, going forward, I’ll try to only capture those special meals or
something Lydia wants to share. Comments are always welcome and encouraged on
any of my posts! If you have wanted to
comment but couldn’t, you have to go in once and register a profile with
Google. Those who have done so have reported back to me that it was pretty easy
and had no issues.
Great night
sleeping last night! I got up around
6:45am and showered and got ready for the day.
I planned to head over to Albany to look for an office chair. For these chairs, I take off the back and use
it as a work stool in my shop. Problem
is, I brought the one I had into the house and Lydia now uses it as a footstool
for her tv breaks in her craft room! So
now I need another one!
This morning
Penny came by to walk Quincy and told me her recliner was in. I was headed to Albany anyway so I told her I
would pick it up. I stopped for coffee
and a breakfast burrito in town and then headed over. I stopped there and turns
out they had expected it on the truck but the 4 chairs backordered didn’t show
up. Next time they will only call her
when they have it in front of them! I
visited Habitat for Humanity but didn’t find any chairs today. I headed home and stopped at a thrift store
in Lebanon and found some potential chairs but wanted to see other places
first. I came home and relaxed a bit before going back out to the shop for a
while.
Saturday, December 16th,
2017…... Today’s plan was to head to Newport to do a
little more Christmas shopping. We
wanted to leave early and stop for breakfast but I got a call last night from
Dana and Tim (our rv garage contractor) that they were coming over on Monday to
stake out the area but they needed to come by this morning and double check the
well and septic lines. So, we ate in and waited. Penny came over to go with us and after they
decided to measure and stake out the area today, we left them to do their thing
and we took off. We drove over to the coast
to Newport and found Scott, the craft vendor we dealt with before when we were
there in the summer. We found what we
wanted and headed back. Nice drive and
the weather cleared up and it was sunny and warm for the most part. We stopped
at Habitat for Humanity (we both found a few items we couldn’t pass up) and
then went to Block 15 in Corvallis for linner.
Then we made one more stop at the Teen Challenge Thrift Store in Lebanon
and I picked up a chair I had seen there yesterday. Nothing else on the agenda tonight other than
tv.
