Friday, February 2nd, 2018…...
We didn’t wait for Tim & Dana to show up
this morning. We had a slight time
crunch. We took off to go to Walmart in
Albany to get that tv. We then stopped at
Shirley May’s for breakfast before heading home. We needed to get back before 10:00am so Penny
and Lydia could head off to a quilt show in Albany. We had enough time for
Lydia to help me carry in the tv. I was able to get the hookups done in a few
minutes. But guess what? This one wasn’t
working either! I tried everything (or
so I thought – read on) – still no sound.
I had sound on the smart tv apps like Netflix, Vudu, Amazon, You Tube,
etc. Just nothing from the Directv box.
So before calling Hisense, I called Directv. We went through a few
steps, most of which I had tried already, but then she asked me if I refreshed
the receiver. Duuuhhh! That was my problem, both for this tv and the
one we returned yesterday! It works
great now and we’re happy. I then took
off to Albany again, this time to get rock salt from Home Depot. I also decided to take three of the seven
bags of plastic bottles I have saved for recycle. Walmart has a couple of recycling machines
outside their store here in Lebanon but I don’t like that they are always busy.
I had been to one in Albany that I liked better so I went there. Even though you have to put one item in at a
time, I got through the three bags pretty quickly. I ended up with $42.30! Plus, I still have four bags left! I got home and got the rock salt bags put
away and was out talking with Tim & Dana when Lydia got back from the quilt
show. She went in and checked out her
room. She sure likes her new tv! So, now
we have one more to buy for the guest room.
I will take the old one we have in there now and put it in my shop. Meanwhile,
the McCravens got a lot done today. The worksite looks better and better as
they get going. This is a shot at the end
of Day 5…..
Saturday, February 3rd, 2018…… Tim
told me yesterday they are working today.
But Dana said they had things to do Saturday, one of which was an
archery club banquet. Guess who won! So, nothing today. We spent the day (ok, only
a few minutes) working around the house.
We’re working on a wedding wall.
We already have two frames with photos of Randy and Maryanne. Lydia went
to Walgreens to print the last photo (from her cell phone) from Jeff and Krista’s
recent wedding. She mounted several pictures
in two frames and I hung those four and that was about it for the day. I did spend some time searching through my home
papers. I’m missing a receipt from the
kitchen remodel we did last year in Calif. I need all of our home improvement receipts/totals
for taxes when we get ready to do those in the next few weeks. I have
everything ready except for that one receipt. I’m sure it’s around somewhere….
Lydia met Penny
at the local Safeway to get things for our Super Bowl snacks and for dinner. We
had a quiet night just watching our taped tv shows.
