We are Terry & Cathye Kinkelaar. If you've followed my blog in the past, you know that Lydia, my beautiful wife of 52 years, and I made the lifestyle choice to move to Oregon in 2017. You've seen my posts about losing her in May 2020 to cancer. Although I was left alone, I am pleased to say that I have found happiness again. In April 2021, I met Cathye, who also lost her longtime husband in 2020. Well, we fell in love and were married in April 2022. So, if folks are still interested, I will continue to post here as we move forward with our lives and adventures!

Oregon Living 2018 – Blog #18 – Watching the Eagles Soar and the Work Go Slowly



Sunday, February 4th, 2018…...  Today is Super Bowl Sunday.  Our plans are simple. Penny is coming over and we are having some snacks and then a light dinner for before and during the big game. I am not a Patriots fan so I’m rooting for the Eagles. I didn’t have much faith because New England is such a powerhouse and Philly is ending a season with a lot of injuries and backup players.  BUT, I’ll be darned – the Eagles pulled it out. Yeah! It was a really great game.  Some NE fans will be questioning some of Philly’s touchdown rulings but, hey that’s the way it works. Sometimes you are on the winning side sometimes on the losing. Turns out we only snacked during the game.  So, Lydia will save the steak burritos for tomorrow night.

Monday, February 5th, 2018……  Today was day 6 on the jobsite.  At the end of the day, more of the footing walls and monolithic slab pour were readied. 



They will be getting more rock for the base and then the rebar can go in.  It’s tough for us to watch.  But it’s necessary because this is the slow and steady work they need to do to make sure the foundation is exactly correct. We can only watch and wait….
Penny and Lydia decided to cook up yesterday’s planned burritos tonight for dinner.  It was an easy night for me!  Lydia cooked, I ate, Penny cleaned up! We watched tv for a while and sis went home and we stayed up for a while before calling it a night.
