Sunday, June 12th., 2022…… No rain in the forecast for today.
They say we are at 50% for tomorrow. I hope to beat those odds and it won’t
rain so I can mow again. Cathye headed off to church after we walked and fed
the dogs and had breakfast. I had zero plans for today but wanted to get all of
the wedding photos mounted that Cathye has had printed and chosen for our
wedding wall.
Monday, June 13th., 2022…… I slept in this morning so I didn’t have enough time to go out with
Cathye to walk the dogs as I needed to leave to make my 8:00am acupuncture
appointment. She walked and fed them and had breakfast. I stopped at McDonald’s
on the way home. After getting home, we left again and headed over to Albany to
go see Jamie. We stopped and did some shopping at Walmart on the way home. Once
we did that and rested for a few minutes, we left again to go to her insurance
office. We are moving her car (and her) to my policy and they needed her to
sign a cancellation document there which took all of 20 seconds. We then headed
to her credit union. I had received my new credit card but wasn’t able to
activate it on the phone plus she hadn’t yet received her new one with the name
change. And she had ordered checks which hadn’t arrived. They fixed my
activation easily but didn’t see any record of her new card in the system. They
will look into it and call her later. It turns out that we made the right move
in going in. Seems they didn’t order her a new card and no one turned in the
request for checks. That was remedied on the phone so we were good. I checked in with the boat guy and his wife
responded that he had scheduling issues but could I bring it in on Thursday.
That works and I arranged a time to do that. I also made a call to my estate
planner. Cathye has a will which obviously had Jim on it and it needed to be
revoked and a new one made. I wanted my guy to sit down with us and advise us
for the next steps. I had to leave a message.
Tuesday, June 14th., 2022…… We decided that after we walked
the dogs this morning, we would go out to Kristi’s for breakfast. Together
Reese and Kristi have 5 kids and one was graduating middle school and they were
closing down after breakfast so they could go to the graduation. They are super
people and we sure like going there! We
came back and then ran some more errands before getting back again and feeding
the dogs before going to Growlers for dinner with Ron and Teri. Teri was our
flower arranger and worked with Cathye in hospice care before retiring. She and
Ron have been dating for about 8 months now and seem to be very happy. Next wedding will be theirs we’re guessing! I
also got a call back from my estate guy and we set up a meeting for next month.
One more thing almost done!
Wednesday, June 15th., 2022…… Happy Birthday Cherrelyn! We are taking her to dinner later this evening at one of her favorite
places – Momiji Sushi! Not our first choice but we’re told they have teriyaki
and yakisoba there and we will find something good. Cathye went off to SHEM and
I worked on the blog and on my checkbook in the morning. She stopped by Momiji’s
on her way home and got a gift card for Cherrelyn. I also worked on arrangement
of those photos and such going up on the wedding wall. I have saved a glass
shelf – never been out of the sealed box - which Cathye loves, and will go on
that wall too. I had forgotten that this morning! So, now we have to rethink the layout and
which wall and adjust for that. But good thing I didn’t start pounding nails
this morning! We hung around the house
and then fed and let the dogs out for a bit before heading off to dinner. It
was a fun evening! Penny and Cherrelyn
both love sushi and had bento boxes - with stuff I’m not familiar with! - and
Cathye and I had teriyaki and yakisoba noodles which were both very good! A fun
evening!
We didn’t have any alcoholic drinks there, so after we left them, I guess
Penny and Cherrelyn headed over to The Landing here in town. This is the
brewing building surrounded by the new food truck plaza. Looks like they had a
good time!
Thursday, June 16th., 2022…… The weather is still pretty unpredictable. One day it’s nice, the next it’s rainy! Still no word on the deck project. All I can get out of Dana is that they are still trying to finish up work on their current project. Cathye is about ready to kill me! (kidding) but I am starting to get upset about the timeline now….
Cathye and I headed over to drop off my boat. We think the impeller is
clogged up because it’s not pumping water. He will check it out and replace the
impeller ($27.45) anyway since it’s going to be open. Mark and Wendy have just
taken over at Cascades Outboards and Vintage Marine. I met both of them and
liked them right away. He’s a local pastor and worked for Jon and then took on
the business to stay busy and earn more money. I left the boat and came back to
relax at home for a while before making it to my 12:45pm massage with Emily.
After that, I came home and hung some of the wedding pics on the wall. Or
rather, I finished mounting them in the frames and figuring out a layout for
them. Still waiting for a few more from Cathye…
Friday, June 17th., 2022…… Housekeepers were coming this
morning, so we picked up dog toys and put stuff away. Josh’s shipment from New
Hampshire showed up today. 14 boxes! I helped the UPS guy stack them in the
garage and we let them know they are one short of the 15 that were shipped. Rob
said it probably got held up somewhere and would come next week. Hopefully. But
we let Josh’s mom and him know. As a reminder, Josh is Cathye’s grandson (from
Terisa in New Hampshire) who is moving west and has rented a place in
Portland. Anyway, we have his
reservation time and his shuttle from Portland to us is booked. He’ll be staying
here until his place is available (on the 24th). We will drop off a
car at the shuttle drop-off lot at the hotel for him to drive home since he won’t get
there until 2:30am or so! He gets here
next Monday and will be with us until Friday when we will help him get all of
these boxes (and anything else we have here to help him move in) up there. Just
a few more details to iron out. We had
planned on going out tonight to the Sweet Home Elks lodge for some country western/line
dancing but at the last minute neither of us felt like going. Cathye has some
pain in her left shoulder and I said I was tired so she wouldn’t push us going.
Swings and twirls and such would definitely be felt tomorrow! So, we just
stayed home and relaxed and had pasta and wine for a nice quiet dinner! This
was actually part of a gift basket from Les and Dee and just needed to be
cooked and assembled. It was delicious. Cathye made a no-bake chocolate chiffon
pie which was also very tasty!
Tv until bedtime.
Saturday, June 18th., 2022…… Not too much on the agenda today.
We needed to hit Walmart again so we did that. Even weekends here at the local
stores aren’t really that big of a deal. Not anything like the crowds in
SoCal! Later in the afternoon, we
changed clothes and headed off to Sweet Home where Cathye’s church friends, Kay
and Joe, were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! Even though the weather wasn’t cooperating, it
was well attended. Ted, the minister at our wedding, did the renewal of vows.
It was a lovely afternoon and we enjoyed the celebration. Later, we came home
and changed and relaxed for the evening. We talked a little about Father’s Day
plans for tomorrow. We’re going to take
the pups for a nice drive up to Detroit Lakes. After that we watched some more
tv and then headed off to bed.
