Saturday, March 24th, 2018…… Something
different today… Same ole walk and feed
the dog routine, thou. This morning the weather was really nice (a little
chilly but clear skies) so we got to do the full tour. I asked the girls if
they wanted in on my road trip to Eugene this morning. They both got their showers and off we
went. Since it was still pretty early
when we left and none of us ate, we stopped in Eugene and had breakfast at
Elmer’s. I then found Woodcraft of
Eugene (it’s actually in Springfield). This place was cool! I found what I
needed but I looked around a bit and now I want more woodshop tools! We left
there and cruised past Graveyard Carz, where the tv show is filmed. They were closed today but a couple of the
kids came out to walk their dog and we talked briefly. We also stopped at Fred
Meyer on the way back home. Just got a
few things for the puppy. We think we
have everything we need except the transport crate and piddle pads, but those
we can get at Walmart anytime. We got
back home and snacked and then rested and watched tv until dinnertime. Lydia has been wanting to go to Skyline for
prime rib, which is served Fri-Sun. Her and Penny split a twelve oz cut and
ordered their own baked potatoes. I just
had soup and a French dip sandwich. We
came back and played with Quincy for a while and then settled in to watch our
taped tv programs until bedtime.
Sunday, March 25th, 2018…… No
plans today. Weather is nice but still a
chill in the air. Both of my Nascar
races in Virginia got snowed out both Saturday and today. Both are rescheduled for tomorrow. I had
other things to watch so that’s how I spent my day. The NCAA basketball games are on today. I’m not a fan but I watch each game for a few
minutes. I’ll watch the final four and
the championship game though. We took Quincy out a couple of times to pee and
play tug-of-war with one of Bailey’s old toys. My sister can’t play with her
too much so I get to do it. Did I
mention she wears me out! Lydia and Penny did some laundry this afternoon and
Lydia got ribs in the crockpot for dinner.
They were great! I caught up on some finances and then went online and
purchased a promotional discount card from station KATU (ABC local tv). It benefits Ronald McDonald House and gives
the user 4 free admissions to ten different venues in Northwest Oregon, any
time from Mar. 1st to Sep. 30th.

It’s a $400.
value for $79.00. We will definitely use it for Oregon Gardens and maybe a few
others while Carol is here visiting. Penny can bring someone when they visit as
well. It will pay for itself after just 1-2 venues. Plus, it will give us a
chance to get out and see some new things too. After dinner, we watched taped shows
until bedtime.
