Saturday, February 10th, 2018…...
No work on the rv garage site today. Not sure
of the date yet for the concrete pour.
The weather is nice and sunny, with a few clouds. Temps are down though – into the low 50s. We ate breakfast and then got a text from sis
asking if we wanted to go to breakfast and then to the Farmer’s Market. She found that the one in Corvallis doesn’t
close for the season – but rather just moves indoors. So they ended up eating at home and we picked
them up and headed out to the Linn Benton Fairgrounds in Corvallis. Of course we didn’t see any tomatoes or such,
but they had squash, all kinds of greens, and some potatoes. We bought some giant carrots. Penny, and the girls spent more time shopping
than we did but it was still fun for all.
Afterwards, we toured Corvallis and then drove to Albany to Loafers Bar
& Grill for lunch. Turns out it was
linner because we filled up on burgers and hoagies and all the trimmings. We
brought leftovers back to Penny’s and then we drove out to Sweet Home and then
on to Foster Lake. On the way back, we
stopped at A&W for root beer floats. Thanks Penny! Once back at her place,
we visited for a while and then headed home for the evening.
Sunday, February 11th, 2018…… Today,
being Sunday, was a lounge around day for us.
Penny and the girls didn’t do much either. She is feeling ok but after
yesterday’s adventure, her knee is swollen and she can’t put weight on it. So,
everyone stayed around our houses and watched tv and rested. I am watching the Olympics and enjoy it very
much although some of the events don’t interest me at that much. I’m not into figure skating or curling
although I do appreciate the talent that these competitors have. When we visited
the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs in 2016 we saw how much
training these folks put in to be the best the US can provide! Watching the
games feels special because we got that inside look into their dedication and
training. While the United States sends a large delegation to the winter games,
we seem to struggle against the Nordic countries and do not do as well as in the
summer games. But it’s still fun to watch as they only compete every four
years. On another note, for me, I am
happy because Nascar is back for the 2018 season! The cars got on the track at Daytona for
practice and then qualifying and then ran a no-points warm-up race today. There are five points races coming up in the
next week. I’m happy!
