Saturday, May 30th, 2020…… Today Jeff has a flight home. He leaves out of
Portland (5:00pm) but I took him up early so we could tour around that area a
bit. Multnomah Falls and Vista Point are still closed but we could still drive
out I84, which parallels the Columbia River, which is really nice this time of
year. We got started and decided to stop
somewhere for dinner. Red Robin in Wilsonville was open for dining so we
stopped there. We got in after a 10-15 min. wait and had a nice meal. Problem
was I left the house and just drove – forgetting to stop by Sis’s house so she
could say goodbye to Jeff. What a dumdum
I am! We really didn’t have time to
cruise around so I got Jeff to the terminal in plenty of time for him to check
in and rest for a while. He had a seat assignment for the first leg of his
trip. He flies Portland/Seattle/Atlanta/Ft. Myers – yeah, I know - but that was
the cheapest way to go! He didn’t have seat
assignments for the other legs so I reminded him to do that at the desk. It’s
been a rainy day here today and I drove through some on the way home but no
worries. When I got back home, I knew it would be to an empty house for the
first time. So now it’s me and Rylee holding down the fort. I’ll let you know
tomorrow how I do tonight.
Oh yeah,
the obit came out today in our local paper:
Sunday, May 31st, 2020…… Yep, it was a tough night for me alright. I
had two or three bawling episodes but I managed to get some sleep. I know it
will get easier as time goes by but right now it’s hard. Cherrelyn will be coming here on Tuesday, and
nephews Kyle and Andrew (Frances’ boys) are coming up Friday. If anyone needs
to get out of the house for a while and wants to come visit – please do! I would dearly love the company right now.
The
weather is nicer today. The forecast is for no rain this coming week. I need to
get on the mowing more often and now that the rainy season is almost behind us,
I hope to stay on that. But today, I just goofed off around the house. I
finished off box two of the photos. I think at least one of the others was
Grandma Mac’s so that one should be easy. But I got the albums out and stacked
in the dining room just to remind me to keep on top of it all. I taped and watched
Nascar and Motocross, which is back now too, and sorted and did some laundry.
Quiet,
quiet day!
Monday, June 1st, 2020…… Way better night’s sleep last
night! I needed to make some calls today. I can’t
remember if I mentioned this before in this blog but Lydia and I chose not to
do a living trust until we got up here and got everything sorted out. That was
three years ago last month and we still hadn’t made that move. Yeah, I know! So, today I found the number of the referral
of an estate planner given to me by Linda and Chuck so I made the call. They were
closed so I’ll try again tomorrow for an appointment hopefully next week. I
also now have a vet appointment for butthead for her annual visit and shots. Cherrelyn
made it down from Tualatin and is staying with Penny. They came over and helped
me go through number three of the photo bins. That one was Lydia’s folks’ and
went pretty easily. Stan and/or Eddie will get that one. Some of the photos were in old broken frames and those photos were removed saving loads of space. One more to go and
then the albums!
The girls
went back home and I watched the Nascar Xfinity race then met them at Pizza
Schmizza for dinner. Then it was back to the house to work on the blog and
watch tv until bedtime. The weather is post-card-like right now. Just
perfect! No rains in the forecast at
least until the weekend. Plan is to mow
again tomorrow before everything gets out of hand.
