Sunday, August 30th., 2026…… Last day of little league baseball
for me! I didn’t necessarily want to see
the two teams - Nevada and Curacao - play in the final game, but it wanted to
see it through. It’s still awesome to see those little guys playing a game they
love and that they’re very good at! Lot
of memories for me! That was pretty much all we did today was watch tv. Cat had
a stomach ache and so we both just lazed around the house all day.
I did work on Penny’s old laptop.
She wanted to take it apart for disposal and brought it to me to finish the job….
Monday, August 31st., 2026…… This morning after we walked and fed the dogs, we left for the gym. We have decided to only go to breakfast every other week or maybe one place each week. So today, we skipped Kevin’s and got a couple of breakfast burritos from McDonald’s and came back home. We waited until later in the day but managed to get the lawn mowed. Cat’s lawn tractor has a weak battery so we ended up parking that one on the charger and I mowed and Cat dumped. But – we still got it all done. Zephry and Thomas come tomorrow so we had a chance today to get the mowing done. I also called a guy about having this
removed! It’s a wasp’s nest that
the guys found last week. It’s active, but when I called the guy and texted him
that pic, he responded that it didn’t look active and he wasn’t interested. So,
we will have to take it on ourselves. It will be at night when they are all in
there and quiet. We have spray that we can shoot in the entrance and then we
can cut it down. More on that as it progresses. Tv and spa and then bed.
Tuesday, September 1st., 2026…… Zephry and Thomas got here right
at 9:00am to start their day. I took the mule out and staged it so they could
load it up. Either Cat of I would take it out whenever it was full. I told Zephry
about the wasp guy said and they said they would take care of it for us. Turns
out when they sprayed it down really good, there weren’t any wasps coming out.
So, they made quick work of it. I poured a little gas in a 5-gal. bucket and
they put it in there to soak. Later, after the gas evaporates, we will throw it
in the trash. The guys did everything on the east side of the driveway. Next
time they will go around the house. We have a few trees that will need to be
trimmed back off the house and we have a pole saw they can use for that. Another
couple of weeks for sure but it’s sure coming along! Later, I replaced the pizza stone in the
Blackstone oven and we tried it out for dinner with the pizza dough that Frank
gave us last week. Not a fan of pre-made dough but the oven works well
now! I think I have the timing figured
out. We will load everything up to take to Frank and Maryanne’s for this
weekend’s campout. We have decided to just drive there each of the three days,
starting Friday for the potluck. We can take the dogs so we can stay for the
day/evening if we want.
Wednesday, September 2nd., 2026…… I was a little busy with my
cardiologist this morning. They texted to see how I was doing on the Atenolol,
that they have me trying on a test basis. They want to see if my energy/fatigue
levels change any. I asked them to call me back so I could share more than a
message in MyChart. I also added the log that wanted me to keep track of my
blood pressure, but I waited until they called back. Meanwhile, we are planning
on going to the Club’s campout this weekend, so we wanted to go to Costco to
pick up a few things. Frank called Cat and asked her to order a sheet cake for
the summer birthdays. When we got there, we did that plus got what we needed –
plus a lot more! Also, we picked up a few things for Penny that she will come
get later. When we got back and unloaded, I received my callback from Fatima
from Cardiology. I need to send her the log that I have made and she will be
getting that to the Doctors there for evaluation and further action. The rest
of the day we hung around the house. It started raining around 9:00am which is
good for us since it’s been so dry here and fire watch is in effect. So far,
it’s still going this afternoon. The forecast is for more rain this weekend. The
guys at Frank’s have already put up a couple of awnings and we will bring one
on Friday as well.
Thursday, September 3rd., 2026…… Not much on the list today. We needed to go get some
items for the campout and we took care of that with no problems. We decided to
go out to breakfast and went to Kevin’s today since Kristi’s was closed for the
next few weeks. I spent some time gathering everything we would be needing to
take to Frank’s tomorrow. I think we’re good to go. Later, we had dinner and
settled in to watch tv until bedtime.
Friday, September 4th., 2026…… After walking and feeding the girls, we loaded up everything we needed
to take to Frank and Maryanne’s. We needed to pack carefully because we needed
room for Butthead to ride in the back as well! We got there and spent some time
unloading and getting things set up. The guys already had the large tents up
and they also took the time to add additional tarps on them because we WERE
going to get rain! We stayed until close to 4:00pm, then came home with the
dogs to feed them and then head back (without the pups) for the potluck and for
the rest of the evening. We had the potluck and after that visited and played Swish
for several hours then decided to come back home. With all of the tarps in
place, we all managed to stay dry for the night! We left around 8:00pm to come
back and relax and be with the dogs for the night.
Saturday, September 5th., 2026…… This morning, we walked and fed the girls,
then ate breakfast, before loading everyone in the car for day 2 at the Silo
party. Most of the day was rainy, so we ended up finding cover under the
canopies or else in Maryanne’s house, playing cards. The dogs love to be
outside and when we could walk them, we did. Cat took them out to the pond and
of course, Rylee had to lay down at the water’s edge.
No worries, she texted me and
Frank had an old towel we used to dry her off!
Later, we were told that Shaun was making apple slushies, with or
without Fireball! Of course, we had to
go try them! We were the first there so I
guess we were his test dummies! They
were great! I had to take a picture or
two and especially one of the Ninja machine he had. Hmmm, may need one of these
soon! But we were careful because we
would still be driving back home to drop off the dogs before coming back again.
Later, when we got back, Frank got out the hay trailer. Note: this is the same
trailer we always use for our float in the Strawberry parade in June. But it
does double duty, hooked up to his big tractor. We loaded up a handful of folks
and Frank took off across the field. He has 200 acres so we had plenty of room
to ride! We were out for a bit and it was nice. Then it wasn’t! We all got wet on the ride back but it was
still fun and we got some good pics…..
That was the end of the rain and
the weather was excellent for the rest of the day and evening. Later, we played
cards and talked and then it was time for the second potluck. This one was
spaghetti and all the fixin’s. We have some great cooks in this Club and they
showed it tonight! Everything was
plentiful and tasty. One of my favorites was the frog eye salad. It has acini
de pepe pasta and canned fruits and whipped topping and a silly name! But it’s delicious! The different spaghettis and garlic breads
were good too, as were the veggie snacks and desserts. More visiting and cards and it was time to
head home again. Last day tomorrow....
