Thursday, April 5th, 2018…… This
morning we got Quincy walked and then we all took off to go to The Oregon
Gardens. This is a popular local
attraction and a place we have been to before. Plus, we went to the special
Christmas light show there. We made the 40+ mile drive there from Penny’s house
and went to go get our tickets. This is
one of the 10 places on the Oregon discount card I purchased for Ronald
McDonald House. But when we got there, we discovered that the trams are only
running Fri.-Sun. I asked when they
started that, they told me this season.
The ‘season’ started April 1st but I didn’t see anything
posted online about it at all. The place
is just too big to walk, plus it was sprinkling, so, we just walked around the
gift shop for a while. Carol took pictures around the outside of the place,
then we left to go get lunch. We stopped at the Three Ten Water in Silverton
and had a nice linner. 310 Water is the
address so they named it that! We drove
back and took Penny home and then stopped at Walmart and got a few things. Then
it was back home to rest and relax for the evening. Later, I got a text from Dana that the job
was off for tomorrow and that they would reschedule for Monday. That wasn’t great news but they don’t pour
concrete in the rain and the forecast shows some for tomorrow!
Friday, April 6th, 2018…… I
couldn’t sleep last night and got up and watched tv until after midnight. I
didn’t want to get out of bed this morning but did anyway and got showered and
ready for the day. Dana texted that they
have the concrete guy on standby and if the weather clears, they might take a
shot on the pour. Penny came by and she went with me to walk Quincy, even up
the street. She’s getting her strength
back. Later in the morning, Lydia and
Carol drove Penny to Salem to get her last drain removed. They stopped for
lunch and also went by the carousel in Albany to show Carol. She really liked it and took lots of pictures….
They also got to go down to the carving shop....
I ended up
hanging around the house today, resting and catching up on my bill records
spreadsheet. Hey, you may not have to write checks anymore but you still have
to keep track! Never heard from Dana - I guess it takes a bit of coordination to get the cement order placed and the concrete truck and pumper truck all scheduled. Hopefully Monday is the day....
When they got back, Lydia
put the stuffed salmon in the oven.
Quincy had to be fed outside because the fans in the oven make her
nervous. The meal was excellent. We
watched tv until bedtime. I should say
we watched different tvs until bedtime.
I went into my room and watched taped Mecum Auto Auctions and the girls
watched their programs.
