Oregon Living 2026 – Blog #16 – A Relaxing Trip, More Dr. Appointments and More Yard Work

 


Sunday, April 26th., 2026……  We slept in this morning. It was so nice!  Later, after walking and feeding the girls, I went out and worked a bit on straightening up the rv garage. Cathye joined me and we got the items all up on the shelves and the tables stacked. Most of the owners will be back this week to pick them up. Once the garage was clean and ready, I could move the motorhome back in.  We did that and we were done for the day!  

Monday, April 27th., 2026…… Well, we found out we were lucky with the weather most of the yard sale, because today is overcast and cold!  We slept in because we only need to walk and feed the dogs before going off to breakfast. We skipped the gym because we needed to get back home before 10:00am when Mike and Cheryl will be here. They are picking up Cathye for a three-day trip to the casino!  She needs to get away and enjoy herself after our last few weeks! I will stay here and tend to the pups and work with a new landscaper, who will be here this week pulling weeds. I also have folks picking up their tables from the yard sale plus someone is coming later today to pick up the fuel tank we sold at the sale. Ok, it’s later now, No one has shown up to pick up anything but the lady got here to pull weeds. She went to work quickly and got a good-sized area completed in the time she was here. 


I made arrangements for her to come back again on Friday to continue. Later, I had dinner and watched tv for the evening. Cat called later to check in. She said she is enjoying her casino time!

Tuesday, April 28th., 2026…… I was up and going super early because I had a 7:00am appointment with my pcp this morning. It was only for lab results. They were fine so I was out of there in no time. I stopped and got coffee and breakfast and came back home. The rest of the day was pretty laid back. I spent some time working on cleaning up the yard sale signs and putting them away. I sorted the tables that were donated and loaded up Grace’s two to take back to her while I was out. Nothing else going on for the day. I would find out later that it would be later in the week for the tables and Saturday for the tank pickup.

Wednesday, April 29th., 2026……  Absolutely nothing on the agenda today!  So, that’s not good for me because I went on Amazon and ordered stuff! I ordered a Dewalt battery charger, a silicone strip to seal the shower door, and new batteries. Yeah, too much idle time! Later, Cat got back. She was tired from her trip and we just hung around the house for the evening.   

Thursday, April 30th., 2026…… HAPPY BIRTHDAT MICHAEL and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MICHAEL AND CRYSTA!!   This morning, we were up and walked and fed the dogs. Rylee has a visit with the vet. This was her 8-week checkup. They took x-rays and determined that everything was looking good. The doctor gave her the ok to become a dog again! Of course, he doesn’t know she had been off-leash for several weeks already! He was also glad that she’s lost some weight!  She was down 5 lbs. and weighs 87.5 lbs. now. After we left, we went back home and dropped her off and then headed back to Kristi’s for breakfast. The rest of the day was spent at home. In the next few days, our guy will be coming to pick up the bartop for refinishing. I hope he brings help! 

Friday, May 1st., 2026…… Our weed-puller is due here today. Steven is also coming to pick up his tables from the yard sale. Cathye is packing up a box of t-shirts that she is sending to her sister to make into a quilt for her. She left to go to the post office while I headed over to Penny’s to do some work she has on her list. Our person texted Cat saying she couldn’t come today. Ironically, Cat has yet another landscaper coming this afternoon to give us a bid. This guy is licensed and bonded so we will be paying for that, I’m sure!  Ok, it’s later now. Her guy did come and gave her a bid to get all of the work done (in 1 day!). As I imagined, it was pretty high! But she booked him for next week. Oh well, at least we will get it all done at once!

Saturday, May 2nd., 2026…… Today is the Kentucky Derby. I had it taped so I could fast forward through the first 3 ½ hours as needed, but ended up just watching it throughout the whole thing!  It was about an exciting race as they could have!  Wow!  Cat worked on the yard a bit. She has her raised bed cleaned out and so today she planted tomato plants in there. 

We still have berries from last year and, sorry, I don’t know what else. Tonight was our Club dance. It’s a Cinco de Mayo party night so we have signed up for cheese for the taco bar. Cat already had some already and we grabbed that. Later when we left to go, we stopped by Toni’s to pick up her ground meat (actually tofu!) crock pot. Mo’s out of town and she wasn’t able to go because she had gotten sick while driving on her recent trip to and from Montana. The dance was pretty well attended and we danced a few tips. We left early because we were both tired. Back home, we settled in and watched tv until bedtime.
