Saturday, June 13th, 2020…… We were able to get our walk in this morning
in dry weather. It is supposed to rain again today, but so far, it’s only
lightly sprinkled. They are saying that it will get up into the 80s by the end
of the week. I hope it does so I can mow again. I really didn’t have anything I
needed to do today but I did want to work on the boat trailer painting and get
something done on that project. But it rained off and on so I just hung around
the house. I now have all of the photos sorted and stacked and ready to scan. I
have a stack of the ones that belonged to Lydia’s mom and grandmother, which I
now have boxed up and will ship off to brother Eddie in Wisconsin. I am working on thinning out the stocked-up
freezer so today I made (ok heated up) some tamales for dinner.
Sunday, June 14th, 2020…… Nothing planned for today. I had several races
to watch so I just vegged out and did that all day. I found out that they have
opened the take out section in Starbucks so I was anxious to go there today. I
also stopped at Taco Bell (inside) for breakfast this morning so I decided to
make dinner tonight. Guess what – it was sausage and eggs! I had a package of sausage that I had brought
in from the freezer and defrosted and I had plenty of eggs, so….. It was good.
Then it was tv until bedtime.

After walking Rylee and making breakfast, I got a call from the funeral
home that they have finished their tasks and I could come in. So, I headed off and picked up the death
certificates and Lydia’s ashes. I also chose a small heart container for some
ashes that I can keep close when I travel in my motorhome.
Kind of
corny but I think I need to do this. I will start tomorrow with all of the
‘official’ notifications to all of the necessary entities. I have plenty of both the short and long form
certificates. I found out that some
places will just accept a scanned copy so that is done already for both forms
and ready when needed.
Penny came
by and picked up some stuff for lasagna. She has Lydia’s recipe and wants to
make it for Cherrelyn, who will be coming by again tomorrow on her way back to
Calif.
Again, the
rains are still around. They are still predicting clear skies and warmer
weather later this week. I have Kirk bringing the other mower tomorrow but at
this point in time, I don’t think I’ll be ready to mow then.
Tuesday, June 16th, 2020……
Today was appointment day. I took Rylee in for her annual physical/shots
this morning. They had me hand her off to them in the parking lot but if I had
a mask, I could come inside. So, I took her in. I put her on the scales and Miss
Priss weighed in at 95.6 lbs. The dr. said I should probably reduce her
morning food to 1¼ cups from 1½ and to get her out to run more. Plus,
back off the snack treats a bit. I plan on doing all of that. I also had them trim her nails and also got some flea meds for the next seven months. Everything
looks good. She’s a healthy girl! After that $260.00 visit, I headed over for my
dental cleaning. I was surprised that they are back working but it was no
problem! Today was just cleaning so I
was good to go. I told them all about Lydia and they were sad. I changed the
subject and got Amanda, my hygienist, talking about her young kids and their world
right now. They have property and have
all kinds of critters (turkeys, chickens, etc.) that they have to feed and take
care of. The easiest to care for is one beta fish. I am going to surprise her
tomorrow and bring over all of my stuff we had when we had betas. I have
marbles, rocks and a couple of vases that she will like to have I’m sure and I
know I won’t use them.
Kirk and
Carter were here today and worked on weeding and weed whacking the newly mown
fenceline out in the field. He texted me earlier that the mower was in for an
electrical part which was ok because it was still too wet today to mow. Later,
the girls made it to the house with fresh cooked lasagna. I cut up and buttered
one of the sourdough loaves I have and we got everything in the oven to warm
up. Remember, this is Lydia’s recipe and my very best favorite dish that she ever made,
so I was a tough critic. I have to say though, that she got a big thumbs up for
this!
I just
couldn’t give her 100% but this was 90% as good as Lydia’s and hit the spot!
After dinner, we watched a little tv and then they went on home. Cherrelyn is
heading back home to Calif. tomorrow but is definitely moving here as soon as
she can. She’s already applied for jobs here in town and in Salem and Albany
and the surrounding area. She’ll stay
with Penny until she can get her own place. We are thrilled!
I heard
from Janie tonight that she and Rick are making plans to bring their motorhome
up and visit me soon. I gave them some
info about campgrounds to stay along the way. Hope that helps. It was a busy
day and I called it an early night and went to bed.
