- We are Terry & Cathye Kinkelaar. If you've followed my blog in the past, you know that Lydia, my beautiful wife of 52 years, and I made the lifestyle choice to move to Oregon in 2017. You've seen my posts about losing her in May 2020 to cancer. Although I was left alone, I am pleased to say that I have found happiness again. In April 2021, I met Cathye, who also lost her longtime husband in 2020. Well, we fell in love and were married in April 2022. So, if folks are still interested, I will continue to post here as we move forward with our lives and adventures!

Oregon Living 2020 – Blog #88 – Spending Money & Dealing With the Shutdown Again
Wednesday, November
18th, 2020…… Sis came by this morning with Q and they stayed for a
while. I asked her to help me look at Lydia’s jewelry and pick out a pair of
earrings for me to send to my friend Sandie. I wanted her to have something
from Lydia besides the material that Frances had taken down to her when she was
last here. Sandie made potholders and clutch purses out of them and sent some
back for me to give to my ‘girls’ up here. We found a couple of pairs of
earrings and a matching bracelet that I think she’ll like. Lydia wore them a
lot. We also found a sweater to send to our friend Lois in Albuquerque. I still
have a few things to bring down to Lydia’s friends in SoCal whenever I can get
down there for the celebration of life. Doesn’t look like it will happen this
year and it may be that it won’t even happen until mid-2021! Bummer – but there’s not much I can do about
that! After that I went out and removed the two ‘starter’ batteries from the
motorhome. I brushed them off and got the size and cca number that I needed
when I go price shopping in a few days. I came in for the day and later, fixed
some hot dogs for linner and then settled in and watched tv. Tonight, was two
episodes of The Amazing Race and an hour Masked Singer. I didn’t guess either
of the two that were unmasked tonight. I had only just heard about the singing
doctor from YouTube (Dr. Elvis Francois) and wouldn’t have guessed him anyway.
I have changed my guess on The Seahorse. I first thought it was Carrie
Underwood but now I think it might be Patti Loveless. Of the nine revealed so
far, I only have guessed two correctly. For the record – for the remaining
seven, here are my guesses and my confidence levels – Sun (Leann Rhimes 90%),
Popcorn (Tina Turner 50%), Crocodile (Nick Carter 50%), Seahorse (Patti
Loveless 90%), Broccoli (Kevin Smith 50%), Mushroom (Jordan Fischer 65%),
Jellyfish (no clue so far). Right now, I think that The Sun is my favorite to
win, followed by The Crocodile and then The Jellyfish. But at 2/9, my chances
aren’t all that good! We’ll see….
Teri stopped by. She was out between
customers to go pick up a clock she found on Marketplace and it was right around
the corner from me! She played with
Rylee and we visited for a few minutes before she had to leave to go back to
work. I went out and took pics of the rocks before I began my
task.
I knew that
Teri had her daughter-in-law coming in this morning and she was doing a cut and color on her hair.
She texted me later that they were done and Brandi was heading home. I asked if
she had plans for dinner and she didn’t so I asked if she wanted to go to Arby’s
in Albany. I hadn’t been in a while and take-out is about all we can do since
everything is restricted at least that for the next two weeks. We drove there and then got our dinner and
went to a local park and ate. I drove
her home and came back and let Rylee out and then settled in to watch the night
football games and then some taped shows. I had soda for dinner so I guess the
caffeine gave me enough of a boost that I wasn’t sleepy until late into the
evening. But eventually I went to bed and fell asleep.
