Saturday, June 15th, 2019…… This morning the plan was to head
off to Corvallis to the farmer’s market. We left around 8:00am and stopped at
Lydia’s credit union and then on to Rick’s Chase Bank readytellers to get cash,
and got back on the hwy and got there after waiting a few minutes for an
accident on hwy 34 to clear. We bought a few things then headed off to Elmer’s
for breakfast. Then, we went by Pet Smart for them to buy dog food for Daisy
and Little Bit. Then we drove back home. Rick was wanting to get another splitter
for his water hose so we set off to go find some. He was looking for the guillotine-type
shutoff which I had previously found only at Kmart, which, for us up here, have
all been closed down. So, we stopped at eight different stores, including Home
Depot, Ace, and Fred Meyer, among others. Nothing. So, when we got back, we
went looking online and he found some that he’s ordered shipped. Should be
there when they get home. Lydia was
going to go get pork chops but we got back before they left. I had seen that
our friend, Brian, had his Vietnamese food truck out at Rife’s parking lot, so
we headed back there and picked up food to bring home. It was tasty but none of us could finish. After
that, I came in to work on the blog and everyone else crashed in the living
room to watch tv.
Sunday, June 16th, 2019…... HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!
I heard from both my boys and enjoyed that. Today was a planned a trip to Oregon gardens.
We always try to take our visitors up there to see this wonderful display of
flora and fauna. I think they have one of every plant and tree that will grow
here in Oregon! The place is too large
to walk through so you always jump on the tram and take the ½ hour ride through
the park. Our tram driver was the same one we had last time we were there. He
is very informative and very thorough.
Wild Bill…
Afterward
going through the store and then to the garden store (we bought another fishing
rod plant), we headed over to The Home Place Restaurant in Silverton and had
lunch. I had remembered it from our trip up there in the rv back in 2012 and
thought we should try it again. It was
pretty good and we got in and out in no time. We headed back toward home and
when we got back to town, we stopped at the new Rife’s furniture store in
Lebanon to check things out. We found a nice dining room table that I think we
will go back and get soon. I had to measure the table (it’s exactly 9 feet
long) and then see if we have enough room for it in the room. We do. Later, we were watching tv and Lydia said
that she and Janie would like root beer floats from A&W. none of us was
hungry enough for dinner but we had room for treats! I drove us over to Sweet
Home, stopping by to show them the boat I’m interested in, and then went on to
A&W. After that, we headed out to Foster Lake and made the loop around it
and then headed home. Once we got back, Rick brought over some Jack Daniels
with honey and he and I finished off the bottle. It was good! We then came in
and watched the latest stage on the Great Food Truck Race. When that was over,
we were all about done for the night.
Monday, June 17th, 2019…... Nothing planned today. We each
got some expected paperwork from Boeing and Lydia’s Macy's gift card showed up.
Glad to see that! Nothing yet from Penney’s. I went out to their rig and fixed
a couple of bent door knobs and we sat out there for a while. I texted Jon and
asked if the boat was ready yet and he said he was testing it today and would
let me know. Meanwhile, Janie brought a
load of laundry in and got that started. They went back out to their rig and tore
apart their bed and found a missing earring.
Later, we
went over to my sister’s for dinner.
During dinner I got a text from Jon saying
that the boat was ready for me to go look at. I texted that we would be there
tomorrow morning. We sat out on her
porch and then went back inside to talk for a while. Once we got home, we
watched tv for a while before calling it a night.
