Note:
two posts today to get caught back up. Please read #116 (Sat-Sun) first!
Monday, September 3rd, 2018…… Today was Labor Day Holiday. We
didn’t have anything planned although there were a few things going on around
town. We chose to pull out the motorhome and clean it up a bit. Lydia had previously
done pretty much all of the inside and we had already put the new recliners in.
I added a twelve-foot runner so when we take it in tomorrow they won’t mess up
the newly shampooed carpet. While we only power washed the coach (no soap and
water) I think we got most of the grime and grit off of it. It will still get detailed
sometime down the road but at least it was ready for tomorrow. We ended the day with a nice bbq at my sister's house. She invited one of her friends (Janice) over and we had a nice meal.
We ended up staying quite a long time and enjoyed the conversation. We even made plans to go to Portland in the next few weeks to use up our Portland Fun Pak coupons. We left and went home to watch tv and then hit the sack.

4th, 2018…… I got up early and got moving. I skipped the dog
walk this morning so I could get the coach ready to move to the shop. Lydia was
looking to go to play pickleball this morning so I decided to just hook up the
Honda and tow it so she could make her start time. It’s hard to believe but I
haven’t hooked up the tow car in sixteen months! But no worries. I had it hooked
up and drove to Sweet Home RV and unhooked and got the rig parked in their back
lot and then drove the car around to the front and checked in. I found out that
their chief mechanic had recently left and that the owner would now be doing
the work. Never met him so we’ll see what we get…
I got back home
after stopping at Home Sweet Home Café for breakfast. I found Lydia was on the
phone, talking to her brother, Eddie, in Wisconsin. Eddie just had heart
surgery and is doing well. I took Rylee out for the walk we missed this morning
and fed her treats. Lydia was still on the phone. I found out later Ed called
her right after I left with the motorhome and they had been talking all this
time. The call lasted two minutes short of three hours! So, she didn’t get to go play pickleball. But
no worries. They needed to get caught up. Hopefully, they will be able to travel
soon and will come visit us.
Next up for me was
working more on my license plate project. I just worked on the nails this time.
Kirk came by and dropped off our tractor and he and Caleb went to work on more
weeding around the front yard. At the end of their allotted work time he pulled
the trailer around behind the rv garage and I helped pitchfork all of the
weeding clippings into their trailer to go to the dump. We filled up the first
of two loads total and they left for the day. We’ll get the rest next week.
After cleaning up
and resting for a bit, Lydia said we were having leftover noodle casserole so
all that was needed was a quick heat up. That done, we took off in the car to
give monster mutt a car ride. We drove into Albany and I showed Lydia the
courthouse and where to park when/if she has to report next week. After that,
we drove to Monteith Park and let Rylee explore a bit. She sure enjoyed that!
Once we got home, we watched America’s got Talent and then crashed for the
night.
