Wednesday, July 3rd, 2019……
Lydia and Penny had plans today to go to the senior center. They wanted
to try bocce’ ball and then bingo. In between, they went shopping for the
fourth. We’re just grilling hot dogs but they needed chili and sauerkraut and a
few other things. They had lunch out so I fixed the rest of the ravioli for
myself for dinner. I think Lydia did fix a salad later. We watched The Great
Food Truck Race. Next week they go to Ft. Myers, next to where the kids are. We
also watched Master Chef before calling it a night.
Thursday, July 4th, 2019…... HAPPY 4TH
OF JULY !!!! Today, my
sister was coming over with Quincy to spend the night. Q is really terrified by
noises and our house is a bit quieter than hers. Plus, we have no one on the
street setting off fireworks. Only the show at Cheadle Lake tonight to worry
about. But she gave her some doggie tranquilizers so she should be ok. After
walking the monster puppy, I took off for Albany and some shopping. Harbor
Freight had a 4th of July special and had a one-item 25%-off coupon,
and I wanted to go get a trailer dolly for my boat and this was the right day.
I also stopped at Lowes and Home Depot and bought a few other things for the
trailer and the shop. I put the dolly together, in between pool visits with
Rylee, and then watered some of the areas where we don’t have sprinklers. The
weather here has turned again – this time to hot! But we managed to leave all of the doors and
windows open today and we got a breeze so it was ok. Later, I started up the
bbq and cooked the hot dogs. That, and chili or sauerkraut, and chips and cherry
tomatoes was all we had. Light meal and easy. We settled in and watched my dvd
of Stand By Me. I have mentioned this before, but a lot of the town scenes and
some of the river and country shots were done close by here, in Brownsville. It
was a good time to watch it, since Penny was here for the night. The fireworks
at the park by Cheadle Lake (about 1 ½ from us) started up about 9:45pm
(remember, it doesn’t get dark up here until then) and we could hear them
pretty clearly. Rylee was nervous but settled down quickly after the finale.
Quincy looked a little out of it from the drugs but that worked and she did ok
as well.
Friday, July 5th, 2019…... This morning I had plans to string
trim and mow. But dummy me, I forgot to turn the sprinklers off last night and
the grass was still wet. It was overcast all morning so that didn’t help. I
decided to go out and install the deadbolt to the shop door. This is the main
door in front and I wanted to match it with the key that Tim and Dana used in
the rv garage. A smart key deadbolt did the trick. You can reset it to any key
you want and it took very little time to change it out and re-key it. One more
project done.
The sun
did come out after noon and I went out and did the string trimming, but decided
to do the lawn tomorrow. I did get my two gas cans in the truck to go get some
gas. I also dug out the gas tank in the boat and put that in as well. They all
take the same gas (non-ethanol) so I got them all filled at one time. Meanwhile,
Lydia went off to meet Penny to do their walk at the senior center. She wasn’t
able to stay up with the ladies because she was having pains in her feet, but,
if she keeps at it, she should be able to build up strength and lessen the
pain. Later, she went back for some chair-ercise. That’s probably not the
correct name but it means that they do stretching and bending exercise while on
a chair. Once we got all of these things
done, we were both done for the day. Lydia had defrosted some cube steak and cut
it up in a mushroom gravy, served over mashed potatoes. She said she bought
enough to use to make chicken fried steak for breakfast tomorrow. Oh boy!
