Tuesday, November 20th, 2018…... Last night we had to close our bedroom door to
keep monster mutt from harassing Quincy throughout the night. I got up at 5
something and let Rylee out to pee. She missed Quincy sleeping on the coach and
went out and did her business. Then l let the Q out to pee and we all settled
back in until around 7:00am, when I fed super pooper then showered and then
took Quincy out then Rylee while Lydia fed Q.
Then it was time for us. I went and got coffee/tea while Lydia ate her
breakfast. And then I made mine and we relaxed for the morning. Kirk came by as
planned and worked for a couple of hours and took the lawn clippings with him.
We will have him one more Tuesday this month, then, weather permitting, maybe
one more time in December to do a final cleanup. I don’t think we will have
much need as the winter shuts down pretty much every aspect of lawn and garden
care. We’ll plan to start up again maybe in April. It’s sure been nice to have
him work for us. With him and Caleb (when he’s available in the summer) doing
the big chores, it makes it easy for us to do the small ones in the flower beds
and garden and neither of us has to be tied down and ‘married’ to the yard work.
The girls got back from
their travels and came by about noon. They visited for a bit then took Quincy
home. Sis said she sure slept well last night without her nervous puppy all
anxious and such from her creaking house. I think we will plan on more stays
over here because Quincy doesn’t have issues at all sleeping here.
Wednesday, November 21st, 2018…... We got going early again this morning. I
fed Rylee and then walked her. I always bring the paper in when I return by the
mailbox. I like to read up on all the news, both local and US. Right now, they are running a series of
articles, done by a 14-yr old Lebanon girl, traveling with her family to
Washington, DC. They are following the Capitol Tree, which was cut from Sweet
Home and is on the way to DC, where it will be displayed. She writes each day
as they go from town to town. Most
cities on the route have special events planned as they track the caravan and
the tree is almost always in a local parade as folks celebrate it on its way to
the Capitol building.
I also like the word jumble
they have in the paper and even went online and bought some anagram tiles to
help with them. Once I finished that, I went out and picked up
breakfast/coffee/tea and came home. The paper had an ad that interested us. We had
both wanted to get a pair of flannel-lined jeans and Cabela’s had them on their
Black Friday sale, starting today. I had bought a pair last year and I love
them! They sure do help take the chill off when I’m out with the dog(s) on
those cold mornings! So, I wanted another pair and thought Lydia would like
them as well. So, we took off and drove down to Eugene with that item on our
list. Cabela’s wasn’t crowded and we both found and tried on our jeans and then
got them paid for and got out and back home pretty quickly. Later, Penny and
Cherrelyn came by to drop Quincy off. They stayed a while then left us for the
evening. We watched Survivor and Hollywood Game Night and then called it a
night.
Thursday, November 22nd, 2018…...
HAPPY TURKEY DAY! Last night we closed Quincy in the guest room
(which keeps Rylee from pestering her) and she was fine until the wind picked
up early in the morning hours. I opened the bedroom door and let her out and
they both went out to potty. This time I closed our bedroom door so Rylee was
in with us. Quincy did fine and the wind eventually died down and all was calm
again. Rylee woke me up and I fed her then showered and then took Q out for her
walk. Rylee came out and they played as usual and got their treats and then I
took Rylee out to the street for our walk out there. Just like when we were in SoCal,
the Thanksgiving Day newspaper is LOADED with Black Friday ads. I pulled those
so everyone can go through them at their leisure.
Today’s
word jumble:
And the
Capitol Tree article:
We
spent the morning getting some of the food prepped for the day’s feast. Lydia
got the turkey and ham going and made the dressing, resting in between. We did
Marco Polo with the kids (and the dogs!). Not the same as being together, but
fun none the less! The girls got here
about noon. They had all of the rest of the yummy treats and we sure enjoyed
the tasty meal! Of course, I had to
sandwich in the Thanksgiving football games before and after we ate. Yesterday,
I got out the lights for the porch and checked them and then laid them out so I
could get them installed (probably on Friday). I went out after dinner and
checked on them, since it was so windy last night. We’re good. After hours of lounging around and enjoying
the day, the girls went back home. We’re keeping Q, since they have to get up
early so they can get Cherrelyn to the airport shuttle at ‘oh dark hundred’
tomorrow morning I did some clean up on my checkbook and then we watched tv
until bedtime. It was a fun day!
