Wednesday, Sep 4th, 2019……
I slept in a few minutes later than usual this morning. Rylee has
finally quit bugging us to be fed super early. With Quincy here for a lot of
the mornings, I guess she is getting used to eating after they play and run
around. That’s ok with me! I got dressed and walked her and then went out and
got coffee/tea/breakfast. Once we ate, we added some more plastic bottles to
the bags I already had loaded into the truck, and we took off to the recycle
center in Albany. Each of us ran two bags through the machines, and we ended up
with a total of $57.00. Not bad, but it is really our money that we originally
spent when we bought the water/soda/beer bottles. But it goes back to our
pocketbooks in cash and that’s cool! We came back home and rested for an hour
or so, then Lydia went off to the senior center to play bingo. I worked on my
blog and also did my monthly input on the bill spreadsheet. Once that was done,
I rested for a bit then went out to the motorhome garage and started working on
the exhaust plumbing that will exit out a vent pipe in the garage wall. It took
a few minutes to get everything marked out but after that, it was pretty easy.
Lydia was back from bingo and came out and helped align and push the vent pipe
through the outside and inside walls. I was done in less than an hour and
cleaned up and came back in to the house.
Lydia and
I made tacos and we watched last night’s America’s Got Talent show and then the
results show after that. Lydia went to
bed but I stayed up while longer and watched a couple of my taped shows before
getting tired enough to go to bed.
Thursday, Sep 5th, 2019…… Another beautiful day? It was
supposed to be clear and sunny but we woke up to a light rain and cooler temps.
But, after I got out of the shower and got dressed and went out with the monkey
butt, the weather turned. It was sunny and getting warmer. By 10:00am it was
really comfortable! We had nothing planned today so I watched some of the
Thursday Mecum Auctions (they are in Dallas this week). Lydia was in her office
catching up on some of her taped shows. But later, we got bored and took off to
go run a few errands. First stop was Rife’s, where we got our dining room
table. They haven’t contacted us yet about replacing the leaf that had some
damage so we took our paperwork to them to complain. They will process it asap
and hopefully by next week we will get a replacement. Next stop was J&J
Lighting in Albany where we ordered two light fixtures for the master bath.
These were a bit more than Costco but we decided that we both liked them
better, given the décor we have now. Costco’s were a bit too modern for the
room. We headed back home and relaxed
for the day. Oops, I relaxed. Lydia did several loads of laundry. She got a
casserole put together and in the oven as well. Later, we ate and watched tv
until bedtime.
Friday, Sep 6th, 2019…... I have been keeping up on the news up here
with tv and the paper. The other day I spotted an article in the paper about a woman
who drowned while rafting on the Willamette River near the Buena Vista Ferry
crossing. It turns out that it was the same day that we took Raymond and Frances
across the river on that ferry. We saw several groups of rafters going down the
river in groups, like the woman did. They hit a tree snag in the river and she
went under and was trapped in the snag and drowned. Makes you wonder if they
were the ones coming by when we were there….
Nothing
on the agenda today. Lydia worked some more on her laundry and I played with butthead.
I had noticed that the exhaust vent I recently installed was glaring in the sun
so I set out to fix that. I have extra house/garage paint so I put a couple of
coats on it. Much better. Lydia made a trip to Walmart and got stuff for steak burritos
for dinner. My favorite! After that, we watched our own programs until bedtime.
