Sunday, September 7th., 2025…… Today was mowing day. Cathye went to church
first and I got out all of the mowers and got them ready. They are all now set
up on battery tenders like the motorhome so they start right up. Except – that
I forgot to put it on Cat’s last time!
So, I had to do a quick charge before she could use it. Today she wanted
to bag everything to eliminate all of the dead grass on the lawn, so I attached
the baggers to all three. We all made some serious tracks as we headed out to
the burn pile many, many times to dump. We are expecting rain later this week
so I’m glad we were able to get it done today! After Penny and I cleaned up the
mowers the girls rested on the porch and I parked the mowers and came in too. We
were done for the day.
Monday, September 8th., 2025…… Today, Crystal comes to
visit! Her flight from Missouri gets in
at 11:40am. I was up early and left to go to Albany for my doctor’s
appointment. I did labs last week and this was the follow up. I am still waiting to get authorization for an
mri under sedation (out cold) so I can do the procedure. It needs to be done in
a hospital and that is hanging up the process. Insurance doesn’t want to pay
for that She also went over my med list
and we changed a few things and she added a few things. Prescriptions will be
sent off. When I got back we went to breakfast at Kevin’s and then drove to
Eugene to pick up Crystal. She will be
here and at her dad’s house for a week. This is perfect because her dad’s
birthday is in September so they will be here on Thursday, along with Corey and
Vikki, Josh and Amy, Skylar, Penny, Cherrelyn, and Judy and Lynn to share all
of our birthdays together. We stopped at the Hwy 99 diner for lunch then got
home and rested for the day. Cathye made a chicken and potato crock pot dish
and it was delicious! Crystal went to
bed early and we watched tv for a bit. We discovered that our spa is acting up.
The motor is running loudly so we suspect it’s about ready to go. Bummer! We’ll have to now search out a spa guy to
come look at it and give us the bad news. Stay tuned.
Tuesday, September 9th., 2025…… The girls decided that today they would drive over to the coast. Crystal used to live in Oregon but hasn’t been to the coast in a while. She and hubby Michael were there back when and found a place where they bought a stuffed animal for their dog that he really loved. So, they are trying to find that place if it’s still around to get another. They left around 9:00am and will be gone all day. I needed to work on last week’s blog and get it posted and then went on to my workshop. I also needed to stop by and pick up my new prescriptions on the way to the workshop. I got the Honda washed since Crystal said she will drive it instead of one of the trucks. The girls got back later and they had dinner. I had eaten so we were good to go. Tv and bed.
Here are pics from their outing today!...
Wednesday, September 10th., 2025…… Josh will be coming down later
this evening, staying until Friday. Crystal took off this morning to drive down
to Roseburg to spend time with her dad. Cathye has asked Justin and Skylar to
come work in the yard today. Skylar trimmed back the grapevines while Justin
weed whacked the flowerbeds and ditch. It looks great now! Later, Josh got
here. He is set up in Cat’s office with the blow-up bed. He has brought his
computer because he will work from here tomorrow. We had leftovers for a late
dinner and visited until bedtime.
Thursday, September 11th., 2025…… HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME! 76 today. I don’t feel any older. Hope that doesn’t happen for a long, long time! Cathye made chorizo and egg burritos for me and Josh (she doesn’t like sausage!). I love chorizo so of course I overate! Josh went in to work and we worked on the house to get ready for tonight. Cathye bought brats and hot dogs for me to bbq. Later, when Josh finished work, we brought Cat’s Spyder out. Josh took it up and down the block. It was his first time on one of these. He said he really liked it, just a different ride!
Later, folks started showing up for the party.
I had the bbq going and had everything almost ready. We had tons of food and
everything was really good! Cathye bought a couple of cakes for the party. She
even got me a special Reese’s ice cream cake! We sat around and visited for the
evening. Crystal even got to see her grandkids for the first time! Here are
pics from the night…
Friday, September 12th., 2025…… This morning Crystal and Cathye walked the dogs. I had to stay in the house because I had a wellcare phone call scheduled. That person never called! Figures! Crystal left to go back down to Roseburg. I gave up on the call and we left a bit later and went to the gym. Then we went to Kristi’s. Meantime, Josh finished up his morning’s work, then met us there for breakfast. After that, we said our goodbyes and he headed back up to Beaverton. We had the day to ourselves. We did some yard work and rested and caught up on our tv programs for a bit. Later I got the call from the wellcare rep. She was nice and we got through the call with no issues. Turns out she was only given the date for the call and not the time. Oh well! Then, it was time to get dressed to go on ‘date night’! Cathye had bought tickets a month or so ago to ‘dinner and a movie’ at the Rio in Sweet Home. They were showing Downton Abbey the final chapter and would be serving us dinner in our seats in the theater while the movie was playing. The menu tonight was beef and potatoes with carrots and peas and figgy pudding for dessert. We had gone when they did this two years ago (we saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 and had Greek food) and this time it was even better! Now neither of us had watched the Downton Abbey series. I think I tried it once or twice but couldn’t get into it. Cat said the same. But the movie was well made and we picked it up pretty quickly and enjoyed it very much. After a nice evening, we made our way back home and went to bed. Fun night!
Saturday, September 13th., 2025…… Our plan this evening was to go
to Sweet Home’s dance. Cathye made brownies. Since Sklyar scalped the grapevines, we had
picked the rest of them beforehand. We packaged up some of those as well for
the dance. Crystal got back from her dad’s and would be here until she leaves
on Monday. Later, our caller, Shaun and his wife, Lila, got here with their
trailer. They were on their way home from California and Shaun was calling in
Sweet Home tonight and also for our new beginner’s class tomorrow night, so
they had asked if they could park here for the night. They got set up and came
in for dinner. We had leftover brats and stuff from the party. We also had some
of the brownies too! Later, we met up with them at the dance. After we all got
back here, Crystal joined us all on the deck for Fireball and snacks and we
visited for a bit around the firepit. Fun night!
