Thursday, November 29th, 2018…... This morning we got up and going early. I fed
Rylee, then showered and got dressed and took her out for her morning walk.
Meanwhile, Lydia showered and got ready and my sister came over to get Quincy
walked and fed. The we took off to head out to Shirley May’s for breakfast. We
hadn’t been for a while (since Kevin’s reopened) so today was the day. It was
great as always. Afterward, we stopped by BiMart to check on some sale items. Then
Penny went home to clean up and came back later to get Lydia to go to Corvallis
for tire rotation and a bit of shopping. Meanwhile, I fed the poochie her lunch
and left for some shopping of my own. I got back before they did and got some
wrapping done. Wow, I’m ahead of schedule!
A little later, the girls got back. They had stopped by Costco and Lydia
had brought back a chicken casserole to pop in the oven for dinner. It hit the spot!
Friday, November 30th, 2018…... We decided that today we would try to go
down to Eugene to take in a movie. We wanted to see Fantastic Beasts: The
Crimes of Grindelwald. We decided to go to the 3D show at 2:30pm, so we fed the
monster mutt at noon and headed down early so we could go have linner. We chose
Newman’s Grotto (seafood), which is one of our favorites up here. We stopped
first and bought the tickets. This is the theater we always try to go to – they
have the recliners, every seat, every theater. When you buy the tickets, they show
you a seating chart and you choose your seats. So, we wanted to get those first
just to make sure we got the seats we wanted (we did). Then we left there and
drove over to Newman’s (about 1 mile) and ate. The place is small and if the
weather is nice, we can sit outside. Today it was rainy but we found a table
inside and had a nice meal. After the show, we made the rainy drive back home
and fed the poochie her (late) dinner. Then we relaxed a bit and had snacks
(cheese and crackers and fruit) and watched our taped shows.
Saturday, December 1st, 2018…...
Not too much on the agenda for today. I got
the doggie duties done and went out and got breakfast and coffee/tea. Lydia
went off with my sister to three Christmas craft fairs in town and I worked out
in the shop for a while. I have finished painting the steel rails for the rack
and today I moved it from the workshop to the shop at put it in place. I have
been trying to figure out what would be economical to use as shelves on the
racks. I already have 2x8’s that I found in my scrap wood pile, and they were
cut two feet long, which is exactly what I needed to span the rails! So, I will
use those and just need to buy 4 or 5 more 10 footers to finish it out. Later,
I took the truck and picked up my sister. She wanted to go buy her tree. She
chose the Teen Challenge Club lot where the monies would go to a good cause. Trees
are NOT cheap, even up here! But she found what she wanted and we brought it back
home and I set it in place. We went back to get her later in the evening to go
to the Lebanon Christmas parade and tree lighting. It took a few minutes to find
parking but we did and walked the block to the town park. They already have all
of the trees and displays all decked out and it looks very festive. They kept
about half of them plus the big tree turned off until the lighting. The parade
makes two loops around Main St. (one way) and Park St. (one way) and ends on
the second pass at Ralston Park. The folks from the floats and all of the
walkers made their way to the park and did the countdown and then they flipped
the switch and all was now brightly lit! While these small-town parades don’t
compare to big city extreme over-the-top parades, it was still very nice and
everyone is happy and friendly. We took Rylee and she had a great time, especially
when she got to play with the other puppies there! Afterward, we made our way out to the car and
took sis home and brought our tired little doggie back to rest from her
adventure. It was a fun day!
