Saturday, January 1st., 2022…… Happy New Year! For us, it was an early morning. We were up and showered and out with the doggies. The plan today was to take it easy and hang around the house today and watch tv. But first up, was breakfast. I went off to go get that while Cathye fed the dogs and started the coffee. Once I got back, we settled in and watched the rose parade. I sure miss the LA feed with Bob Eubanks and Stephanie Edwards! But it was still a good parade and good commentary. I just thought the parade was a lot shorter than normal! After that, I went in and started watching my bowl games. Cathye decided to go visit with Lona and Misty because she still had a few gifts to distribute. So much for staying in! She also stopped by the market and got stuff for chili and cornbread for dinner. We relaxed and ate and, later, watched more tv until bedtime.
Sunday, January 2nd., 2022…… Today we have work to do! We have Corey and Eric meeting us at the trailer. They will be loading up Cathye’s entertainment center to bring to the house. It will replace the one in the living room and that one will go in the main bedroom. The old oak unit in there has seen its day and will be scrapped. We had already shrink-wrapped the unit at her trailer and the guys got that loaded with little issues. We also made another trip and took her floor model radio and her antique slot machine to add to the house as well. The boys did a great job and sure saved my back! Eric wanted the old oak unit, so that was even better!
All we need to do now is reload all the items
again. We went back over to the trailer
and loaded up some more of her personal items and cleaned off all of the
counters and moved out some items to make it look roomier. We were ready for
the pics!
Monday, January 3rd., 2022…… Today we had a few things. We walked and fed Princess
and the Butthead and then headed off to Kevin’s for breakfast. Then we went over to
Albany to meet up with Aimee to sign the papers for the trailer. That went
easy. Pics tomorrow and the listing should go up middle of the week. We stopped
by Jamie’s to check in and give him his money for the week. I have never been
inside and Cathye says “there’s a reason for that”. She spent some time in
there cleaning up and getting it livable again. Still no word on the future for
Jamie. No word yet from the family in Arizona. So, it’s likely going to be up to Cathye to
work with social services and mental health here in Oregon to get some help in placing
him in assisted living, or at least get some more help at his home.
Tuesday, January 4th., 2022…… We do not need to be at the
trailer today for the pics, so Cathye and Penny met for lunch. They were going
to discuss more plans for the wedding. I stayed home and had the task to go pick
up Jama from the groomers when we got the call that she was ready. Cathye went
back to the trailer later and visited with her neighbors. There was one lady
next door who was mildly interested in the trailer for her daughter who lives in
Palm Springs. We offered to hold up on listing if she was serious. She quickly
backed off so we are almost ready! The sign is now up and the listing will go
out tomorrow! While she was gone, I
sorted through and arranged some new and old photos that Cathye has framed.
Some came from her trailer, and some were newly mounted. I laid them out and
started adding them to a collage in the breakfast room. I think they look good!
We had leftover chili for diner and rested and relaxed and watched tv until calling it a night.
Wednesday, January 5th., 2022…… Cathye headed off to SHEM this morning.
I walked the dogs and then fed them and went off to get my breakfast. The
weather is not too bad today. There are sprinkles predicated for most of today
(and continuing this whole week) but I decided to take the Honda in for
service. Cathye showed me last week that the TPMS light was on in that car. Yeah,
I had to look it up! It means Tire
Pressure Management System. Most cars now have sensors in the wheel stems that
register a little tire logo on the dashboard that indicates you have a low
tire. The TPMS light means that one or more of those sensors are defective.
That means you can still drive the car but that little tire light will now not
function. The Honda dealer said they didn’t have racks available today so I
scheduled it for Friday morning. But, one the way home, I remembered that I had
those sensors all replaced when I had tires installed a few years ago at
Costco. Now, I don’t expect them to be still under warranty, but I found the
bill and it will be WAY cheaper to have them replaced at Costco than at the
dealer. So, I called back and cancelled my appointment at the dealer. I got back
home and relaxed for a bit. Cathye came home and then we went together to meet
up with our friend, Sally, for lunch. Sally was part of the team who worked for
so long at Cathye’s house ahead of and during her estate sale. She was cataloging
and pricing items and also tested and priced hundreds of radios. She is a super
lady and we both looked forward to seeing her again and catching up with
her. We had a great lunch and she
followed us back home to see our place. We visited here for a bit and then she
headed off to finish her chores today. Aimee sent a text saying the listing is
out. She sent a link to the listing. I’m
listing it here. Hope the link works for you.

We are a little concerned since we
have also seen other trailer/mobiles listed that were newer or bigger and
priced less than hers. Time will tell.
After our nice lunch, neither of
us were hungry for dinner so we snacked on fruit and cheese. We are excited to
start episode 1 of The Amazing Race tonight! Or. at least I was excited!
This season (33) was filmed in two parts, because of covid. Production started in February 2020 and was halted for the pandemic. They had to wait 18 months to get started again! This has always been one of my favorite shows and I was anxious to share it with Cathye, who had never watched it before at all. She said she had a hard time following all of the teams and was trying to figure it all out but was enjoying it so far. I am hooked and can’t wait for the next one!
