Saturday, June 27th, 2020…… Nothing planned today. I do need to sit down
with both the Boeing Pension and the investment forms and get them filled out
and signed and sent off. Still waiting on the social security form to arrive.
The weather is weird today. Yesterday it was cloudy and then burned off to a
nice hot sunny day. Today it is still cloudy and the forecast is for more of
the same. Oh well. I was hoping to go out and mow today while the grass isn’t
super long yet. We’ll see…
Okay, the
grass is dry now but I have decided to hold off on mowing today. I guess I’m
just being lazy. I got another package from Boeing today to fill out and
return. It never ends!
Dinner
tonight was bbq chicken wings. Easy and fast. I still want to use up the meat
in the freezer. I guess I need to go shopping for some lettuce and also some
Aunt Penny’s cheese sauce so I can make steak and baked potatoes and salad one
night. Nascar is upping their schedule to get caught up. There are two races
today and two tomorrow. Ok, one got rained out so there will be three
tomorrow! I watched the one today and
then some other taped shows until bedtime.
Sunday, June 28th, 2020…… I thought I had all of my documents signed and
ready to mail on Monday. But there are two that came yesterday that need a
notary signature so I will call my attorney’s office Monday morning and ask Angela
if I can stop by for her notary.
Three
races today so the tv was on all day. I went and got breakfast and coffee. The
girls at Starbucks surprised me with this gift.
One of the
girls had mentioned Lydia’s passing to her manager and they had it ready for me
the next time I stopped in. Of course, I
lost it right in the store! They are so sweet!
I came
back and turned on the early race. I got some weeds pulled and the hanging
flowers watered and made some lunch during a few breaks I took from the tv. I
also worked on scanning more ‘Lydia’ photos into the computer. I think I’m
about 1/3 done!
Monday, June 29th, 2020…… I got up early this morning and
walked monster puppy and then headed out. I stopped at Starbucks to thank Misty
and her team for the nice gift they gave me yesterday. I showed them the
picture of it hanging up on my porch and we had a nice visit. I left there and
headed out again. Today I was meeting the girls for breakfast at Elmer’s in
Albany. But first I had an appointment with Angela, at David Beckham’s office
to notarize a couple of documents I needed for the Boeing Pension office. She
made quick work of those for me and I made breakfast with no worries. On the
way home, I stopped by my sister’s house and bought the doggie bed she got from
Janice for the yard sale. It was what I would have bought at Costco next time I
was there and this one was brand new and only cost me $10.00. I will keep this
one in the Acadia for Rylee for some stability when she rides with me.
I got home
and worked on my pension packet now that everything was signed. I made a copy
and set it aside for now. I also boxed up all of Lydia’s mom’s and Grandma
Mac’s photos and got those and the Boeing stuff to the post office to mail to
her brother in Wisconsin. Ed will be
tasked with sorting through those photos and then forwarding to Stan. I
couldn’t think of a better way to handle that project. I also found my social security paperwork in
the mail today so I quickly got that task completed so I could take that to the
PO as well. A couple more tasks done... The process is slowly moving forward.
I had a
pretty good window of good weather today so I went out and mowed the yard. I
did about 10% of the field today too. Sis will be coming over tomorrow to
finish that up and then we will pick up the clippings and go to the mulch place
and that will be done – at least for another week or so since the grass is
growing like crazy right now!
I heard
from Rick and Janie that they have made the decision that they will not be
coming up here to visit me any time soon. They are not traveling due to covid.
Our state is actually stable, with only 3 counties in the state (up in the
Portland area) having any increase in outbreaks. No plans right now for another
shutdown. Businesses can remain open at this time but our mayor has decided,
just today, to increase the order for everyone to wear face masks indoors in
public places – she went from only select counties to a statewide order.
I also
heard today from my friend and ex co-worker, Nancy, who lives in Missouri, who
was checking in on me. I sure like to hear from friends from time to time, and
am glad for the conversation.
After I
finished up my tasks, I rested for a while then made dinner. Tonight, it was
cheese quesadillas. I keep forgetting to get meat out of the freezer. I now
have a big note on the counter to remind me for tomorrow!
Tuesday, June 30th, 2020……
This morning I decided to get out early and work on my trailer. I got
the marine paint opened and started in on the little parts I have on the
worktables in the shop and outside on the bench. I got a first coat on
everything, then cleaned up. This is oil-based paint so I am using disposable
brushes, which makes it fairly easy. Then I started in on grass pickup. Sis
came by to help. I had a couple of loads
dumped and she got them in the truck by herself. We didn’t have much lawn
collection so I decided to go out and collect the grass in the field. That got
us a pretty full load for the truck. Once we wrapped that up, she, went home and I
waited for Kirk and his guys to come do their weeding here and I told them to finish
loading the truck with their flowerbed weeds. That really gave us a full load. I went and picked up sis and we headed out to
drop it off. This time the lady at the desk saw it as a ‘small’ load and only
charged me ½ price ($4.25). Cool!
I dropped
my sister back at home and came home and fixed spaghetti for dinner. After that, I went out and got another coat
of paint on the parts for the trailer. I still have to flip a couple of them
and paint the underside plus there are a few larger parts outside that I need
to bring in and paint. But it’s going well and I think I’m going to like the
job when it’s finished.
