Thursday, March 1st, 2018…... Today
was another busy day for us. We got up early and took our showers and got
ready. My sister came over at 6:45am and I was ready to walk Quincy. She and Lydia left by 7:00am to go to Salem
for Penny’s last chemo treatment before her surgery. She had another consult so she wanted Lydia
there for that. After our walk, I fed
the dog then took off to get the oil changed in the Honda. I had a coupon from the local dealer in
Albany so I went there. I didn’t have an
appointment but they got me in with no problem.
After that was done I went over to Walmart and tried to buy the two
filters (air and cabin) that Honda wanted to charge me big bucks ($106.) to
install. Walmart had one for $13.78 and
the other one was $18.95. They were out
of the second one but I ordered in on Walmart.com and picked it up in Lebanon
later that morning. I got those
installed only to discover that the one that was in the store didn’t have the
right part number inside the box so I had to go exchange that one. I’m guessing
someone switched boxes to save a few pennies!
It took some time to get it all done but I’m good to go now. The girls were
gone all day and stopped at Taco Bell to get dinner so we didn’t have to go out
again. The rains are back in that sunny/rainy cycle but I managed to get Quincy
out a couple of times when it was dry. Later, we ate dinner, Penny and Quincy
went home, and we settled in and relaxed from our day.
Friday, March 2nd, 2018…… Nice
weather today, but rain in the forecast so no concrete today. We have some sunny days predicted for next
week so we’ll see what happens. I started
out paying some first-of-the-month bills. The next task was to hang some more
pictures in the master bath. That room
is about done but we still need more around the house, so we took off, this
time to Eugene, to look around there. We found a few things but still need to
look for more. We had made plans to stop by Costco and get a roasted chicken
for dinner but we decided that we would rather go to Buffalo Wild Wings while
we were in Eugene. It’s the closest one to us and we hadn’t been in a while.
They just added a few new items to the menu so we tried the loaded potato
wedges (minus the onions) along with our wings. The meal was really good and
served as linner so no cooking tonight!
On the way out of the parking lot, Lydia spotted these
and handed me
her phone, “ooohh take a picture of those!” We’re not sure what they all are
but they are blooming up here now. We drove back home through a few sprinkles and
when we got back we found that it was totally dry here and didn’t get any of
the rains they said were happening. I
know the concrete guys don’t work the weekends – I sure wish they did – because
we have no rain for the weekend. I went out to the shop and spent a few minutes
getting my bench ready for sanding and then went in for the evening. We relaxed
and watched tv until bedtime.
