Tuesday, May 1st, 2018…… After getting up and letting the little white
tornado out of her crate and out to pee, and after playing with her until I was
pooped out, I left her and went to take my shower. Lydia was up by then and I took off to go to
Albany to the pet store to get some more Rylee food. I stopped on the way and
got breakfast and coffee (McDonalds). I ended up at Coastal Farm and Ranch
because Petco wasn’t open yet. I got
home and did a few more bits of lawn raking and finished that up and got
everything out for the trash. Most
everyone up here with any property puts their brush and lawn clippings in a
burn pile. Walt had one but I’m finding
I don’t have that much to stack up so I’m going to have Tim skim that mound out
with his bucket and mix it with the sod and dirt he has for haul off later. Our
plans today called for a couple of things. We had received a call that the part
ordered for the dryer was in and he was coming out today. He also brought the gasket seal for the oven
door to install. We also needed to go
over to my sister’s house at noon and let her house cleaner in and make sure
Quincy wasn’t freaked out while she was there.
Doctor Ron, the appliance guy didn’t get here until 11:30am so she
stayed here to wait for him and I went over to Penny’s. Tim and Dana did not come today. They are wrapping and siding the house and
said they are ready for the trusses coming tomorrow. We had an early dinner
(spaghetti) and spent time working on the Hawaii trip. I got a reply that my
condo request was already booked. Thing is, she lists it several times on the airbnb
site, each with different prices. She
has 24 hours to respond to my request. I’m guessing that after I booked, at the
lowest rate she showed, she got another booking at the higher rate. Either that or someone actually beat me by
one day! But, turns out that’s all in my favor because I found a new listing
for a 4-bedroom house, just down the street from the condo, available for my
timeframe. It was cheaper and has a
private pool and spa! The owner responded and accepted the booking and even
called me later in the day. I think this
is a winner. Here are some pics….
We heard back
from Randy and Maryanne who were booking their flight while on the phone with
us. Frances and Jeff and Krista should
be letting us know their info soon.
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2018…… I
got up early again to let the dog out – who let the dog out who who? Lydia got
up earlier (4:00am) – she couldn’t sleep and stayed up to make some tea, then went
back to bed. She got up again with me at 5:30am and stayed up.
Also got a call
from Krista this morning. She asked some
questions about dates and flights and while we were talking, she booked their
flight. They will fly from Fort Myers to LAX. Turns out she was able to get the
same flight as us (and Aunt Penny) out of LAX to Maui! Cool! That
just leaves Frances to finish her trip plans.
She’s waiting to hear back on a job offer so she doesn’t know yet.
I wanted to get
the motorhome out to Sweet Home early so we could get back in time for our nail
appointment for mani/pedis. Yeah, I do that and I like it! Man-up guys, it’s cool! We decided to just
move the coach out on the street, go to the nail place, eat lunch, then go to
Sweet Home. Those things done, we
settled in to watch the trusses get unloaded and stacked up on the
structure. Tim knows what he wants and I
like the way he’s prepared steps ahead. Penny
brought Quincy over and she brought Rylee out with her for their walk. Quincy is less nervous out in the field grass
and actually played a little with super mutt who was chasing her around the
yard. Quincy can get away for now but when Rylee gets bigger, watch out! Later, Lydia had pork chops thawing for
dinner but neither of us was hungry after lunch. So, we’ll have them tomorrow.
We ended the evening watching tv and playing with Rylee until she pooped out
for the night. Good thing - we needed to go to bed and catch up on some
sleep! We did hear from Janie (via texts). They are in Oklahoma City dealing with tornado watches. While we were texting they were given info on the shelter but it didn't touch down near them and they were doing ok. Just nervous. That's part of traveling!
End of Day 23….
