Sunday, May 19th, 2019…... Nothing
on the agenda today. Lydia is still very sore from the surgery, but Rylee
doesn’t realize that! She senses her discomfort but only knows she wants to be
close to her. So, she tries to nose her way in, no matter if her Grammy is on
the bed or in her chair. Sweet girl! As I said, nothing going on today. I
walked butthead and then headed off to get breakfast/tea. I don’t drink coffee
when the weather is nice or when it’s later in the morning. We slept in so it
was after 8:30am by the time I left so I didn’t get coffee today. Weather was
nicer in the morning and the sun came out for a while. But it soon clouded up
and dropped a few degrees. I managed to go outside with monkey butt to let her
run. I checked out my grapevines. There are a bunch of vines popping out now so
I guess I didn’t kill them when I cut them back last year! I also checked out
my apple stumps. I can almost push them over so I think my friend’s tractor
will have little problem yanking them out when he comes next month to mow.
I also started up the motorhome and
ran it for a bit and checked everything out. Everything's good. I think tomorrow I will go off to Lowes or
Home Depot. I need to go anyway to get water softener salt but I think I will
try to get everything I need to put an exhaust vent in the rv wall plus get
some flexible vent pipe so I can hook it up to the motorhome exhaust pipe so it
will vent outside.
Lydia got some stuff out for dinner
and I helped her fix it. We made up the stuff for a mashed potato casserole and
had that and then watched tv until bedtime.
Monday, May 20th, 2019…… No rain yet today. I decided to go to Albany and do
all of my errands. I walked Rylee then took off, stopping for breakfast on the
way which I ate in the Home Depot parking lot. Today I hit Home Depot, Costco,
Habitat for Humanity Lebanon, Lowes, and Habitat for Humanity in Corvallis. I
got a new handle for one of my shovels, plus all of the necessary items to make
the exhaust line for the rv garage. It took some time but I got it all! When I got home, I found that the table we
took over to Paul and Corie’s yard sale was back in my shop! Lydia didn’t hear anybody so I started
feeling bad. We were sure that it sold that same day but guess not. Now Paul
had to bring it back over! I definitely owe them an apology for not following
up on it. Later, I called Dana and asked
them some questions about cutting through the outer wall and the drywall when I
install my vent. She called back later and we had a nice conversation. They
want to come by and visit with Lydia in the next few days. Speaking of Lydia,
she was feeling ok and made up a shake and bake parmesan chicken with rice and brussel
sprouts. She is still in some pain from the surgery but is getting up and around
and doing a little more each day – good to see. We find that we have a
semi-resident female turkey on the grounds! We’ve seen her a few times, always
by herself and always in the back yard. She makes the rounds out in the back
and gets just so close to the house and then heads away.
We both
have been catching up on the shows we missed and spent the evening watching
those and then went to bed. The predicted storm came through last night. It was
only sprinkling at 9:30pm but I heard it coming down on the bathroom skylight
later in the middle of the night. Temps are warmer now so it was good sleeping
weather tonight!
Tuesday, May 21st, 2019…... Not much planned for today. Kirk came by and
needed to haul all of the grass out in the ditch away. So, I got out my wagon
that goes behind the tractor and when he got here with our co-owned one, he
just drove it off the trailer and hooked up to the wagon and was good to go.
That only took about 20 minutes so the rest of his time he weed whacked out by
the creek. I saw Corie today and I apologized for not following up with them on
the table. She was ok with it and didn’t know that Paul had brought it back.
She said they were trying to figure out where they could use it so they could
keep it. But I guess Paul wants the garage cleaned out. No room for more stuff!
Later, we
went to the store. Walmart is still closed. We have heard on the news that a 49-yr
old man intentionally mixed the chemicals in the pool section to start the
fire. He actually bragged to someone so that is how they caught him. He has
been previously banned from the store but he was heard to say that this was
just a ‘test run’. I sure hope they keep him in jail long enough for that plan to
leave his head! We went to Safeway and went down each aisle and Lydia was doing
so well, we ended up shopping for the week. When we got home and everything
unloaded and put away, we rested for a bit. Then I helped her make spaghetti,
which hit the spot! Like I said, we are each still getting caught up on our
taped shows. I have been watching 24 hours of the Mecum Auctions and finally got
those all watched so I can now go back to all of my other series.
