Friday, July 12th, 2019……
More things on the bucket list for today…. First up was to get the girls out on the
tractors! They were hesitant at first but these things are so easy to drive. I
gave them a quick teach and told them the blades weren’t engaged so they were a
little better and then they got comfortable quickly and were soon speeding
around with no worries! It only took a few minutes before they were asking me
if I could make them go faster so they could race!
Then we
headed over to Rylee’s pool so she could have some fun. They got a kick out of
Rylee chasing her water! They had her
running until she was exhausted and plopped down in the pool!
Everyone
ate a nice lunch and rested until later. We left the house about 4:00pm and
headed to the credit union and then to Corvallis. We had bought 4 tickets to go
see the Corvallis Knights play baseball. They are in the West Coast Baseball
League and tonight were playing a home game against the Kelowna Falcons, from
British Columbia. Tonight was free t-shirt night. We got there with plenty of
time and were let in at 5:30pm. I got us front row seats on the first base side
and we settled in. Shelby and I were the first to go get food. They have a
place in the park called Block 15, which is a bar and grill in town that we
like. So, we went there and ordered. Once we got back in and settled in again,
Lydia and Kate headed out. Kate went to the concession stand and got her meal
and then Lydia went to Block 15 and got hers. The game was fun. I didn’t know
that the girls weren’t into sports but with a few minutes of background and a
few more questions, they seemed to enjoy the evening. We left in the 7th
inning with the score Corvallis 16, Kelowna 4.
We drove home and everyone but
me headed off to bed. I sat up and watched the Tour de France. It is day 7 of
the 21 day-tour. I only stayed up to finish the race and then I was done
too.
Saturday, July 13th, 2019…... We got up and going early this morning., The
plan was for the girls to go meet up with my sister and Jody at the farmer’s
market in Corvallis. Jody had flown in yesterday from Utah for a week’s
visit. Meanwhile, I stayed home and got
caught up on this blog, plus watched Nascar and the Tour de France. Lydia called and asked me to get out a
chicken to defrost for dinner tonight. They hadn’t seen Penny and Jody yet but
were walking around. They did hook up and then left them to head home. P &
J were doing more shopping and winery visiting later anyway. Once they got back, they put all of the
produce in the fridge and then crashed in their rooms and Lydia napped in her chair.
Then they left again – this time to go to Albany to America’s Best. Lydia has had problems with one screw on the frames
of her glasses that just won’t stay tight!
So, this time they made the decision to have everything remade (at no
cost). That done, they made a stop at the local Goodwill. The girls like
rummaging around second hand stores, and all of the Goodwill stores in the area
are really clean and well run. They found a few things but can’t take them on
the plane. We’ll go back and get them and send them later. When they made it
back form this trip, it was time to start the chicken. Lydia had me turn on the
bbq and she got out the utensil for beer butt chicken and got that going. Penny
and Jody came by and dropped off the ribs for dinner on Sunday. After we ate,
we crashed for the evening.
Sunday, July 14th, 2019…... Nothing on the travel agenda for today. We
stayed in and lounged around the house. Later, I fired up the bbq and started
the ribs. Jody had never had these and my sister told her they were tasty. I
wrote down my process (pretty much just like it says on the package!) so she
can have Charlie make them when she gets home. They brought salad and dessert
and Lydia made mac and cheese in the crockpot. All of it was very good! The
weather was pretty nice, even though we have had some cloudy mornings and some
sprinkles off and on, it usually clears up in the afternoon and gets pretty warm.
Of course, I have to let monkey butt do her thing with the water hose and her
pool! She gets cooled down plus works off some of that puppy energy!
Once the
meal was done, and the dog was dried off and back in the house, I cleaned up
from dinner and the girls took off. They left Quincy here. Tomorrow they are
heading to Salem for a drs. appointment and then some shopping. We are heading
to the coast tomorrow. I will walk Q and feed both dogs and they will be back
in time to feed them in the evening. We all turned in early.
