Sunday, May 13th, 2018…… HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! I
put Rylee in the guest bathroom last night because of the cool vinyl flooring. I heard her whining about 3:30am and got up
and let her out to pee. I left her out
and put her up on our bad and she went to sleep there. But, for some reason I woke up about 5:30 and
she was ready to get up too, so we played on the bed. Lydia had tons of sleep so she was awake
too. I showered and got dressed and went
out and played with Rylee before feeding her and then making my breakfast. We
go out on the leash (her – not me!) every morning to get the paper. She still
wants to walk right in front of me but we’re getting better with that with
practice. The rest of the morning was spent playing, catching up on emails, and
straightening up the house a bit. This afternoon we just kicked back and
watched tv. Of course, we still have puppy duty. She keeps us going. I’m working on training routines with her
even at this age. She can sit, shake
hands and high five so far. Not an
expert yet, but we’re learning! Lydia heard from the kids wishing her a happy Mother’s
Day but for the most part, we had a quiet day.
Rylee's rock!.....

Monday, May 14th, 2018…… This
morning I woke up about 4:30am and did a potty break. I heard Rylee so I got up
and let her out. She had pooped on her piddle pad and then outside. Same routine as yesterday. But this morning
we stayed in bed until 6:30am! I went out and got my breakfast and Lydia’s tea,
then went out and talked to the team, who showed up today to finish the siding that
they could do to this point. The front and back walls can’t be done until the shear
nailing inspection which is now scheduled for tomorrow. My knee is still sore and I decided not to go
out and mow the lawn today. Plus, it is
the hottest day we have had so far this year. It got up to 85º today. But later, I did get my tool bag out and went
over and adjusted my sister’s side gate and fixed the latch. She also bought a vine-covered screen
(similar to one used to go around an outside air conditioner or pool pump) to
cordon off her side yard. She doesn’t
want Quincy going back there to aggravate the neighbor’s dog. I pounded in
three long stakes to tie the screen to and that was done. We visited a while
and then I came home and had lunch. Rylee is now watching for me to come home and
comes running when she hears the garage door opening. I rested after lunch and watched the Amgen Tour
of California. Similar to the Tour de
France, it’s the largest field of any bicycle tours in the US. Yesterday they started the first day of the tour
in downtown Long Beach, which was cool for me to see. Today they are in Ventura
and Santa Barbara area. They will end up on Sunday around Sacramento.
As I said, today,
Tim and Dana got everything ready for inspection. Tim also started on the roof shingles. Plus they picked up the windows and doors. Lydia
made dinner and later we sat out on the back porch and played with the ball of
energy in the yard and also talked about some of the things on my to-do list
for tomorrow. Then it was tv until
bedtime.
End of Day 28....
