Monday, September 24th, 2018…... This morning we got up earlier than normal. Rylee
has been letting us sleep in a bit later in the mornings - usually until
7:00-7:30am. But for some reason I woke
up around 6:00am and got up instead of laying there. I showered and got Rylee
out for her walk. Sis came by and Quincy and Rylee played for a bit. I took off
for coffee and breakfast and Lydia got ready to go do lab work prior to her
upcoming doctor’s appointments. We both left about the same time. I wanted to
go get the truck washed. We then met up at 10:00am at the nail place for our
appointments there. She had to go back to the labs after that to do the urine
part of the lab. Once we both got back home, we rested for a bit. I took off to
the local junkyard. This guy’s dad had been collecting for over 40 years and
the son has been at it for over 20. Needless to say, they have a lot of stuff!
Most of it is junk but I needed some metal to make a threshold transition from
the workshop to the front garage shop and I thought he might have something I could
use. Before I left, our friend Chuck,
came by to mow the west 40. My sister had made the arrangement with him for us.
She wants to pay him direct as she feels she needs to help out plus she will be
staying with us next month after her reconstruction surgery. I left and came
back quickly because the junkyard wasn’t open yet/today. We decided this
morning that we would try again to see The House With a Clock In Its Walls. We
figured it would be easier to go to a Monday matinee. We were right – it wasn’t
crowded at all. We both liked the movie, although it wasn’t what we expected at
all! Afterward, we headed back home. Poor monster puppy hadn’t eaten in over 5
hours! Oh no! ☹ We got that taken care of and she was happy
again! We fixed leftovers and later
settled in and watched some of the new fall season programs.

September 25th, 2018…... I realized this morning that I
haven’t posted many pictures of super pooper lately. Here’s one I took a few
weeks ago. Lydia had come in to my room so we could watch Guys Grocery Games on
my tv. Rylee has to be wherever we are so she made herself at home. Because
she’s forefront in the pic, it makes her look like a monster doggie. Yes, she’s
65 lbs. now and about the size of our full-grown Bailey, but she’s not too big
– yet!
We got going this morning and after
walking Rylee, I left and ran a few errands. Lydia was going to go play pickleball
and I headed off to my sister’s to drop off about 8 bags of grass for her trash
container. I also got down her fall decorations from the rafters and then took
off for Albany to pick up a few things plus go to the Philomath Habitat store
to check in there for anything interesting. I found another nice cabinet (for
$10.00) plus a stepladder ($4.00) and the piece I needed ($1.00) for the
threshold in the shop. I stopped at a farmer’s market and bought some ears of
corn then headed home. I got back in time to find Kirk working away. He got
more of our weeds pulled and then sprayed so we might keep them in bay. I
relaxed and watched tv for a while then offloaded the cabinet and ladder and
got those put away. That was it for my day. Lydia threw a couple of ears of
corn in the microwave and made cube steak and hash browns for dinner. We
finished the night playing with the white tornado and tiring her out so we
could relax and finish the evening watching tv until bedtime.
