2021 – Blog #36 – A Moving Celebration, Remembering My Love & Pickin’ Up Sis!
Saturday, May 22nd., 2021…... I slept well last night and got
up early and had Rylee out and I fed her and then took off to go walk Quincy. Later,
Cherrelyn sent me a picture of Quincy sitting patiently waiting for me to pull
up in the driveway!
Sunday, May 23rd., 2021…… Another round of dog walking. I
got back home and fixed myself some breakfast and turned on the taped races. I
also had more auction to watch. All of that took up the morning. I needed to go
back to Cathye’s to take down the tarps and wanted to say goodbye to those
leaving today. I got over there around noon. The guys again made quick work of
the tarps and poles and I had everything loaded up in the truck in no time! I
visited a while and was going to say my goodbyes but they decided to go to
James Gang Pizza before they left. I came home and unloaded everything and then
headed over there. We had a nice meal and I said my goodbyes and came home and
spent the rest of day relaxing and watching my races. I have decided that I like the shelves I just
put up so much that I am going to add to them and wrap around that wall. So, I
sat in my chair and planned that out in my head. Easy peasy! I wasn’t hungry so
I passed on dinner and just relaxed for the evening and went to bed early.
Monday, May 24th., 2021……
Up early again today. The plan was to mow the yard today. But as it
turns out the forecast is for showers off and on for today and tomorrow. I was
out and had Rylee walked before the rains came. I then headed over and took
Quincy out for her walk. We made it almost home before it started to sprinkle
so I considered myself lucky! I stopped
and got breakfast and coffee and came home and planned my day. I ended up
taking measurements for the 2nd shelving project and went out to the
shop and cut the pieces. Later, Cathye came by and we spent the rest of the day
and evening together. We went out to dinner at The Depot in Albany. I’m SO glad
to be able to go out to eat with someone!
Tuesday, May 25th., 2021…… One Year Ago Today! It’s truly hard to believe it’s been a year! Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her in some way or another. Things I see around the house - things I pass by somewhere out driving - or a song on the radio - all of these will bring back wonderful memories. I love her and miss her so much! I know she’s looking down at me now smiling because she knows I’m ok. And I am truly ok.
open up (maybe in their clubhouses or churches) and we can do this.
I was up and out this morning.
Last day to walk Q. Sis comes home later today. Cathye and I will be going to
pick her up at the shuttle stop. Later, we coordinated with Penny and found out
she was going to have to wait at the airport for a couple of hours for the next
shuttle to arrive. So, we decided to just go there and pick her up. It was a
nice drive but we ran into some serious traffic (Yuucck!) but still got there
in time. We were able to sit at curbside with no officer moving us along. We waited
and waited…. Turns out her luggage (and another gentleman’s) got misrouted to Oakland!
It will be FedEx’d to her tomorrow. So, we picked just her up and headed back
home. We stopped at Big Foot Grille for dinner (thanks Cathye!) and then took sis
home. It was Cathye’s first visit to Penny’s house. After a nice but short visit
there, we came home and rested before Cathye left to go back home. All of the
family has left now so she’s trying to reorganize her home and get back to
normal. She does still have the estate sale coming up so plans are to sort
through her items and decide if it’s going to her new place or will be stored
or will be priced and made ready for the sale. That’s coming up in July but
there’s a lot of things to go through! Of course, I will be there to help. I spent the evening by myself, just thinking and remembering life and good memories. I was sad but got through it ok.
My thoughts were with you today, I loved Lydia and I miss her everyday. Madonna
