Wednesday, June 12th, 2019…… Rick and Janie are coming in this
afternoon. They decided to combine their trip to visit Janie’s niece/cousin in
Monterey Bay area. They left Gilroy area and headed up and stayed in an rv park
around Mount Shasta last night and took off headed north this morning. They are
due in around 3:00pm or so. Meanwhile, Lydia and Penny and I went out to
Shirley May’s for breakfast. I drove by myself because the girls were headed
over to Albany to Costco afterwards. I went back home and ran the vacuum to
pick up after butthead. I always get a vacuum cleaner with enough dog hair to
start another puppy! I also went out and got another bag of dog food and also
bought a rainbird type sprinkler on wheels. We have that spot next to the
driveway by the house that doesn’t have sprinklers installed (yet). It was
getting a little brown so I needed to fix that. I got it set up where it covers
everything from one location and got it going. The girls got back a little
later and we unloaded the car. Sis went home but left Quincy to relax here
because her housecleaner was working over there today. We also left and went to
Walmart for some last- minute things. When we got back and got everything put
away, we just hung around until they turned in our driveway. I got them parked
and Rick hooked up the rig. Janie was telling us about some issues they were
having with the coach since we’d seen them last. Nothing serious – just a
couple of things that will be addressed when they get back. We sat around and
talked all the way through dinner time – our dinner time. It was after 6:00pm
when we decided to go up to Pizza Schmizza for an easy meal. They insisted in treating us. Thanks guys! We
drove around a bit after that and made some plans for things to do and see
while they are here. Once we got back home, we settled in on the back deck and
had a few drinks and relaxed and talked before calling it a night.
Thursday, June 13th, 2019…... Today was one with nothing
planned. I am waiting to hear from Penney’s. We have some drapes on order that
might be available later today for pickup at the store in Eugene. Our glider on
order from Ace is supposed to come in today so we will need to go get that if
they call. My guy with the boat is working on the gearcase and is installing a
new thermostat. Not sure if call to tell me it’s ready for me to come see it
again or not. That doesn’t mean we have to stay home. We took a drive to
Albany. Rick liked our hallway carpet runners and asked where we got them. So,
we went to Wheeler Dealers to see what they might have. They found a set and bought that. Next, we
headed over to the Albany carousel. We always like to take folks there to see
how nice this place is. Plus, it’s fascinating to see how the figures are
carved. We went down to the workshop and the docent gave them the tour. I had
been following the progress of Gino, the whale, since it was a slab of wood down
there. It is now almost complete and it upstairs in paint. Next step is the
polyurethane coat that they have put on at an auto body/paint shop.
We took
the obligatory picture in front of the carousel, plus the attendant took one
for us as well inside the ride.
When we
got out of there, we had decided it was too late to fix dinner so we stopped at
Loafers and ate linner. It was good! We
got back home and sat outside for a while then came in and watched The Great
Food Truck Race and the first part of the Master Chef Jr. finale.
Friday, June 14th, 2019…... Rylee has a vet appointment this
morning. So, we left Rick and Janie to rest and relax in their rig while we
headed out. The vet had nothing but encouraging words to say about monkey butt.
He did find a little dirt or something in her left ear. He used maxi-otic,
which we have at home. We will use that until or if we need more. While we were
there, I got a text from sister who was at a yard sale at the big blue mansion
(ok- just a nice big house) near her home. It’s recently sold and we wanted to
see the inside so we decided to go over there afterward. I walked Rylee around
the neighborhood while Lydia toured the home and looked over the stuff for
sale. Then I went in. My sister had bought a few things and was interested in a
garage storage cabinet, a yard storage box, and a file cabinet. She asked that
if she bought those, could I help her move them to her house. So, we went home
and dropped off Rylee. And then Rick and I took the truck and Janie drove Lydia
back over in their car. We got everything unloaded and sis gave R & J a
tour of her home. The last time they saw it was the day she got the keys. After
that, we came back home and rested for a while. Then I fired up the bbq and got
the ribs going. My sister came over with her dish and we hung around while the
ribs cooked. I guess they were ok because we didn’t have too many left! We had
potato salad and cole slaw which got eaten up too! Later, we settled back in the house and
watched the rest of Master Chef Jr. I wasn’t too shocked when they crowned this
year’s winner. Then we started in on this year’s Master Chef and watched the
first of the auditions/eliminations before calling it a night.
