Sunday,
April 7th., 2024…… First up, here’s more pics
from last night’s dances…
I was awake early but after letting the dogs out, I went back to bed
for a while. I texted Cathye to see if she was up. She was so I called her and
we talked a bit about our dances last night.
After that, I was up and going. I walked and fed the girls then ate
breakfast here at home. It was pretty much tv and rest for the day. I talked
with Cat for a while later on. She shared her day. She used Mary’s jeep and
drove to Glendale to Chris and Angie’s for the day (and night). They all went
out to their local pizza parlor. It was an ‘un-birthday’ gift of food and games
from us for all of the kids, grandkids and great grandkids in AZ. She said all
had a great time.
They went back to Chris and Angie’s for the rest of the day to play
some more with the littles.
They wore her out so she said she would be turning in early there
tonight. As for me, I headed off later to the plus class and helped out there. Went
to pizza after with the group. When I got back, I hit the spa and then hit the
bed.
Monday, April 8th., 2024…… For me: up and going with the dogs
and then the gym. I decided to go it alone for breakfast at Kevin’s. After, I
went to Walmart and got a few more things for meals. I will be making Lydia’s spiral
noodle casserole for tonight.
For Cat: she said she slept in – as much as she could -
until the great grandkids were up and going to get ready for school today. She
said her goodbyes and a little later headed out for the 2-hr drive back to
Tucson. She relaxed for the day. She liked Jim’s massage chair and made herself
at home in it!
For me: the rest of the day was pretty quiet for me. Cat said her day was quiet too. Just visiting and playing with the kitties. Penny came by and we talked about her recent Vegas trip with Jody. They had a fun time together and got caught up. She is going back again in three weeks to get together with her girlfriends for a mini reunion. Cat called later and we talked about her flight home tomorrow. She leaves Tucson at 7:00am and gets back to Eugene (via Seattle again) at 1:40pm.
Tuesday, April 9th., 2024…… She comes back
today! Yaay! I was up early and
got the girls walked and fed before I left to go out to get breakfast and
coffee. When I got back and ate, I hung around the house (and cleaned up of
course!) before driving down to pick her up. I left early so I could go spend
some time walking around Jerry’s, the big home improvement store in Eugene. I
timed it so I wouldn’t be in the waiting lot too long. Eugene has a really nice cell waiting lot and
I got parked and waited. She had checked bags so it would be a few minutes
before she texted that she was at the curb. We got everything loaded and drove
back home. Once we got back and she got unpacked and I got the laundry started,
we both lounged around for the rest of the day. We would have my spiral casserole
for dinner and rest and catch up on tv and hit the spa before an early bedtime.
She had a long day!
Wednesday, April 10th., 2024…… We slept in a little later this
morning, but when we got going, we had the dogs walked and fed in short order.
We made coffee and then drove in to town to get our haircuts. After that, we
stopped at Sheri’s for breakfast. Later in the day, we drove over to the bank
in Albany and she did some banking for Jamie. Pretty much that was it for the
day. After we fed the dogs, I worked in my office on this blog for a bit, then went
into the living room where we watched more of our taped programs. We didn’t
make a dent – we are so far behind! Spa and then bed.
Thursday, April 11th., 2024…… The weather here is amazing! Temps in the mid-60s and it is supposed to get into the 70s toward the end of the week! The seed grass fields all around here are as green as they can be! I took some pics from different fields around here. You can see the different types of grass...
This afternoon we go in for our
massages. But we will still get our Thursday morning routine done – walk and
feed the dogs, gym, and breakfast at Kristi’s.
Friday, April 12th., 2024…… We slept in late this morning then got up and going. It rained last
night but today was ok so far. Forecast is for cloudy skies with some sun
coming out later. We got the dogs walked and fed and then Cat made us breakfast
burritos. Then we began our day. I am re-coating our wooden name plaque
and have the first coat on so I
need it to warm up a bit so it will dry and I can sand between coats. The plan
today, aside from the plaque is for me to work on a busted sprinkler spigot and
then fill the spa. Cathye is taking Jamie to lunch today. Jamie has requested a
new payee for his money, removing Cat from that job. His bills get paid by a
new payee sponsor and his weekly cash is distributed to him through them. So,
Cat is checking on him to make sure that is going ok. After that, she headed over to Walmart to pick
up stuff for our breakfast for the camp next weekend. She is making 5-6 breakfast
casseroles. She decided to make two with bacon, two with sausage, one with
veggies, and one with ham. She wants to make one tomorrow to check the recipe
and see if it needs any adjustments. Later,
after a light dinner, we headed off to pick up Lynn and then on to the Albany
Alliance Plus level dance. Cat is going to kick back and visit with friends
while Lynn practices her newly learned level. It went well and she said she felt
ok for the most part but more floor time will help with that. That was dance
no. 1 for me (more to follow). We got back home late so we skipped the spa and
headed off to bed.
Saturday, April 13th., 2024…… We slept in again this morning.
When we walked the dogs it was wet out but no rain. Breakfast for all then she
went to work on the casserole. We sampled that as a lunch. It was tasty and a
keeper! The rains hit again off and off,
for most of the day so we held back on any outside projects. I was able to get
the plaque sanded and another coat applied. Later, we went off to the dance in
Corvallis. The Club there decided to try having a plant sale before and during
the dance. Cathye was VERY excited so we had to be there early to check things
out. Needless to say I came out to the car with two boxes filled with plants!
The dance was fun but we left one tip early to get home to the girls and to
bed. Another late night.
