2017…... Wow, what a nice day yesterday! Family, friends and food! (and gifts!).
We got up late and had a breakfast of leftovers but everyone was happy
with that. The girls had plans today to drive over to Corvallis for some
shopping. Randy and Arjan took off to go
riding. I have Jeff’s mountain bike up
here and Randy had left his from his last visit so it worked out. I stayed home with the dogs and after letting
them out for a nice walk/run around the yard, I took off to pick up Penny’s
chair that was in and took that to her house and set up. Then I came back home
and walked the dogs again and then started taking down some of the Christmas
decorations. Those of you who know me
know I usually get everything put away within a day or two after Christmas.
Sorry – just my way…. The girls got back – the guys got back and we fixed
leftovers for dinner. Plus, we cooked
the dessert pizza that Maryanne went to get Christmas eve. It was not quite as good as fresh out of their oven but it was still yummy!

2017…... Even though they stayed up late last night, the
kids got early and started loading up the Hummer for their trip home. They came up Interstate 5 but were thinking
about going across the Cascades via Santiam Pass and going down through
Bend. But Randy decided that that would
delay them by 3 hours or more plus the weather could change. So, they left
around 9:00am and went back via the 5.
They texted a few times and then when they got home (about 12:30am). No
problems – just a long day! It was sure good to see them and Arjan was a nice
guy and very interesting. So, after they
left, I did a bit more work on getting the Christmas decorations down and
things unplugged. Tomorrow we will bring
in the bins and get them going. The rest of the day we just vegged out. Penny called and asked if we wanted to meet
her at Ixtapa for dinner. After that we
drove to her place and got Quincy for a sleepover. She wanted to drive in for her third treatment
tomorrow and had to be there early so I got the Quinzinator for the walking
duties. She will call us if she’s not up to driving and we will go pick her up.
I walked Quincy and then we settled in for the night. Boy – the house is quiet!
