Friday, May 10th, 2019…... This
morning after I had Rylee out and walked and had breakfast, my sister called
and needed my help. She had purchased a patio set from a yard sale around the
corner from her house. I brought my truck and we first moved out her old set
and then went and picked up the new one and got it set up. Lydia said we could
use the old one so we loaded it up and I brought it back. Penny came over and
helped me unload and set it up on the back porch. That left the one we had. I
texted Janice but she wasn’t interested. Oh well. While my sister was here, we
decided to take butthead out and all of us went over to Paul & Cori’s house
across the street to go see what they had at their yard sale. We bought one or
two things and then my sister asked if they wanted a table. They didn’t but
said to bring it over and put a price on it and they would try to sell it. Too
good an offer to pass up so we loaded it up and took it over there. I had them
put a $20. price tag on it. Later in the day, I looked over and it wasn’t where
we had left it so I assume it sold. I
will have to go back over tomorrow and see. A bit later, we took off to go
grocery shopping at Walmart. We picked up stuff for spaghetti and watched Guys
Grocery Games while we ate. I watched the Nascar truck race and called it a
night.
Saturday, May 11th, 2019…… Our son, Randy, came up to see his mom. He left
California and drove up and stayed with friends around Sacramento and then one
night in Ashland, where he was able to join a mountain bike run in the area.
They have a van that transports the bikes up to the top of the ski area and the
riders find trails to go down to the bottom. He always enjoys getting his
exercise that way. He got in this morning and will be here through Mother’s
Day, leaving Monday to head back home and to work. That works for us because we
were afraid that he would want to stay through the surgery and recovery and
wait to leave after she was home. That would be too much time away from work
(with no paycheck), so, as I said, we are happy. We hung around the house today
but did go over to my sisters to open up all of her crawlspace vents around the
house. Like me, she has residual water left from the rains and she needs to get
air in there to help dry it out. I have some that I need to open as well and
did that today too. Lydia bought stuff for chicken and rice and Aunt Penny came
over and we all had a nice meal. Afterwards,
Randy and I left to go see the races at the nearby Willamette Speedway. Tonight, they had 5 different types of cars -
hornets (4 cyl. stock), late models, sportsman, street stock, and super sports.
We found seats in the general admission area just up from the starting line
(note - we need stadium chairs for the next time because the aluminum seats are
haarrd!) and really enjoyed the evening. Even though the weather was in the 80s
all day, it got kind of chilly so we were both glad we grabbed sweatshirts to
wear!
Everything ended around 9:15pm so there was still some daylight left on
the way home (maybe a mile). We sat up for a while then I took Rylee out for
her business, then we all called it a night.
Sunday, May 12th, 2019…... HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!! This morning Aunt Penny came back
with sausage and eggs and we made potatoes and biscuits and had a nice
breakfast. Randy left about 11:30 and went to Falls Creek to go mountain
biking. He said he met a guy from Salem there that was by himself too, so now
they could ride together and can take some extra risks and watch out for each
other. He had a good time and they exchanged numbers so when he next comes to
Calif., they can go out again down there. Meanwhile, we had all the fixins
ready for a bbq. Once he texted that he was on his way back, we got the baked
potatoes going and when he got home, I started the steaks on the grill.
Everyone seemed to like them and the rest of the meal was tasty.
Jeff had called and talked to Mom for a good
while so that was nice. All in all, a good day.
Randy will be leaving tomorrow morning to head back, with maybe one stop
on the way to ride the McKenzie River Trail. He tried to make a call to see if
they operated a Monday shuttle for that ride but it was too late and they were
closed.
