Thursday, August 9th, 2018…… Lydia and Penny went off this
morning to play pickle ball again. I decided to make my ‘run’ to the two
Habitat For Humanity stores in Albany and Corvallis. I also needed to go back
to Kmart to return a sprinkler that didn’t work. No problem – Habitat had four
that I picked up! I also got another 5-gallon gas can for the mowers. Total was
$6.50. Once I got back, it was time to
help the hot dog cool off. Lydia had left to meet up with Penny. They were
going to drop off Sis’s car for some brake work. I emptied the pool and cleaned
it and refilled it. This is the part Rylee likes! She attacks the water coming
from the hose and I can shoot it out up to 40 feet so she gets to run and the water and then hop
in and out of the pool.
Once dried off, she gets to come back in the house for
r and r with me. The girls got back and later Lydia fixed dinner and we settled
in for the night.
Friday, August 10th, 2018…… Lydia’s friend,
Linda, had sent Lydia a text about her block yard sale that was today so we
decided to go this morning. It was also a chance to head over afterward to
Shirley May’s for breakfast. After a few miscues, we found the right place and
got parked. They didn’t have too much stuff and we bought some storage bins and
a few other things. I kicked myself later for not looking more carefully at a
backpack sprayer system and a pretty decent looking gas string trimmer. I’m
thinking I could have bundled those two and got a good price. Oh well! While we were at breakfast, sis got a call
that her car was done so we left for Albany to get it. While at breakfast, I
also called my garage door guy and the lady told me that he would call later in
the day to set up a day/time. We got home and did a few chores around the house
and then rested for the afternoon. I am trying to keep up on the LL regionals
plus the Tour of Utah (cycling) so I stayed in for most of the day. Loren called me back and we set up the work on
the garage door for Tuesday afternoon. We also have been talking with our friends,
Mike and Cheri, who are traveling in their rv. They are planning on coming by
here on their way home. Looks like they
will be here either Tuesday or Wednesday. No problem – we’re ready.
