Sunday, September 6th., 2026…… Today we headed over to Frank and Maryanne’s early. We didn’t take the dogs today because we would be busy cooking pizzas and such. Plus, there would be too many people today and there are a few who do not like dogs and let us know that they don’t! So, we left them home. We plan to come back to feed them and also pick up the pineapples and other toppings we have to tonight’s pizza cook. The day was really fun. Shaun got out his Ninja Slushie machine and made us apple slushies (with Fireball if you chose that!). It was really good (I took a pic)
and now I am looking into getting us one for our parties and evenings out on the deck! Maybe after Cathye wins big at Vegas next weekend! We hung around the tents because it would be raining off and on. It was supposed to quit later in the evening. Later in the afternoon, Frank got the tractor out and gave folks rides again. No rain until the very end! We spent the afternoon having our regular Club meeting. This year we all crowded in the larger of the tents because it was raining off and on all day. After that, Cat and I headed back home and fed the girls and grabbed our items for dinner and headed back. After that, the four of us who had pizza ovens got them out and ready to cook dinner. Each of us have a different style oven. And we learned later that each one cooked differently. I think I must have cooked at least 10-12 in my oven. I must say I got a lot of positive feedback! The others did ok but some had temperature problems either too low or too high.
After the meal, we all cleaned up and let our ovens cool down for the night. We will put them away tomorrow morning. We hung around for a bit, playing cards and visiting, then headed back home for the evening.
Monday, September 7th., 2026…… HAPPY LABOR DAY! The plan for today was for us to head back over and visit for a while, then help take down tents and get our popup and tables and the pizza oven loaded back up to take home. The folks in their rvs made breakfast each morning and were late today so all of the tables and such were being used. No worries, we weren’t in any hurry. We have a picnic to go to later in the afternoon but we hung around for a while and helped for the most part in breaking things down. I managed to get our tables and the popup loaded along with the pizza oven and all we needed to put away was our chairs. We stayed until we had to leave. When we got back home, we unloaded everything except the chairs and then rested a bit before going down to Cat’s party at the park in Brownsville. We took the dogs with us for this one. The girls always bring some good food for everyone. Cat baked a cake yesterday while we were home and we took that. It was a nice day and the dogs enjoyed running around in the park. We didn’t have towels for Rylee so we avoided the river area. But she knew it was there and wanted to go down her familiar path to jump in! After a bit, we loaded up and came back home and we were done with the parties! We relaxed and watched tv until hitting the spa before calling it a night.
Tuesday, September 8th., 2026…… Today we have Zephry and Thomas coming to work in the
yard. We left them around 11:00am to go to town to meet Omalea and David for
lunch at Robin’s Grill. We haven’t seen them in a while and we had a nice meal
and got caught up. They came back to the house and we sat out on the deck and visited
some more. We saw the kids had loaded up the mule with clippings and brush so David
went with me to take it out to dump on the burnpile. When they left, I had a
few other things to clean up from the weekend and then we were done!
Wednesday, September 9th., 2026…… We had nothing on the calendar
today! Yaay! We spent the day being lazy
and hanging around the house. We want to meet up with Mike and Cheryl to plan
logistics for the Vegas trip but that probably won’t be until next week. They
did talk to us about going to Cirque du Soleil while we’re there and we said
that we be great. Just get us tickets and we will settle up later. Cat told me
later that Cheryl got us good seats for Friday night. It’s at the Bellagio so
we can walk there. I think it’s O, which is the water show. That sounds like
fun!
Thursday, September 10th., 2026…… Today we take the dogs to the groomers. But first
up, we walked and fed them and then headed off to the gym and then to Kristi’s
for breakfast. Later, we took the girls in. When we got back, I got out the
mowers and gassed them up. I found a YouTube video showing how to bypass the
shutoff on the seat of Cat’s tractor. Up to now, it shuts off when pressure on
the seat. That means she had to shut it off each and every time she gets off of
it to dump the grass (or any other reason). I used the trick they showed me and
got it set up. Now she just has to make sure to disengage the blades before she
gets off for any reason. We waited until they called about the dogs and then we
went to pick them up. Now we wouldn’t miss their call while on the tractors. We
got the lawn mowed in about 45 minutes (no field mowing this time) and the
machines put away. We rested for a while. Penny came by and visited. Later, we
had dinner and we were done for the day. Tv until bedtime.
Friday, September 11th., 2026…… HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Please also never forget those lost on
9/11! It would turn out to an interesting day! Penny came by and gave both of us our
birthday cards and gifts. Thanks, Sis! We
were asked to go today to the Burgerville in Albany and help out a promotion
for our Club! One of our members, Lisa, is assistant manager and set it up for
us. We would get a bunch of dancers and help with bussing tables and delivering
orders to customers as well as doing a promo dance exhibition in the parking
lot. Shaun and Lila got set up and Shaun called pretty much for 3-4 hours out
there, with our members hopping in and out of the squares. I think the count
was around 31 of us. Not too bad! We
also got 20% of the revenue for those 4 hours. We expected about $400.00 so it
was worth the effort, plus we may spark some interest in joining our beginner’s
class staring Sunday. Turns out Sept. 11th is also Frank and
Maryanne’s anniversary so we all got a kick out of that - spending birthdays
and anniversaries at Burgerville! But it was a lot of fun!
Saturday, September 12th., 2026…… The only thing we have today is a
visitation to a dance in Sweet Home later tonight. We have both been watching all
of the 9/11 shows and we have a lot of them taped. So, we watched a little bit
of them today. Some we’ve never seen before. So sad to watch but also
interesting to know more about how things evolved. Later, we dressed and headed
over to visit the Squarenaders first dance of the season. Shaun was calling and Lila called a tip too!
She is getting a little more experience and we think wants to continue. We did leave a bit early and came home to
relax with the dogs and watch more taped shows.
