Wednesday, March 7th, 2018…... This
morning Penny was feeling well enough to walk Quincy but she wanted to do it
over here in case I needed to take over. But she did fine and after the walk,
she sat with us for a few minutes. We
had gotten up and got ready for the day well before she got here, which is
unusual for Lydia. I told her I was going to take the remaining four bags of
plastic bottles to the recycling station in Albany and asked her if she wanted
to come. I guess she was bored because
she said she wanted to go. We stopped at
Original Breakfast in Albany. It was only our second time there and we realized
why. The prices are really high. It’s right off the I5 exit so I guess they
get away with that for the passing motorists, but we won’t go back again and we
told them so. Plus, our server wasn’t very friendly. Afterwards, we stopped by
the PetSmart in Corvallis and looked at a few things. We need a transport cage, a small dog bed,
and some new food and water dishes. Lydia couldn’t resist a larger doggie bed,
which we will use down the road, when she’s bigger. We got back and rested for
a while and had lunch then went to Walmart to do some grocery shopping. I am also looking for a tv for the guest room
and Walmart has really good prices. I
will probably buy on Walmart.com and pick up in the store. We got home and got
everything put away and rested until dinner.
Then it was Survivor and then bed.
Thursday, March 8th, 2018…… We
got up early this morning and got going.
Penny came by and this time she asked me to walk Quincy, which I
did. After that, it started to rain a
little. I didn’t want to work on my next
coat of poly for the bench so I took off and went to Habitat for Humanity,
stopping for breakfast and coffee and gas for my truck on the way. I found a
few tools but not much there today. On the way home, I stopped at Coastal Farm
and Ranch, to look for some fencing material.
We plan on putting up a small fenced-in area off the back porch for
potty training purposes, something on the grass but something I can easily move
when I mow out there. Between Coastal and Wilco (another farm supply place) I
found some interesting possibilities. I
need to also build some temporary steps coming off the back porch, which will
lead down to the penned-in area.
We also have to
think some more about what we want to do regarding future fencing the property.
Later in the day, I went back out to the
shop with the intention of putting the next coat of poly on the bench. It will
be outside and it’s oak so the more coatings I can put on it, the longer it
will last out there. But it’s still raining and very windy and it was getting too
close to dinner to start the task so I took some measurements for building those
temporary steps before coming back in the house and calling it a day. We ate dinner
while almost catching up on our taped episodes of Guys Grocery Games before
splitting up and watching our own shows for the rest of the evening.
