V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.

MONDAY

Slept in late. Until 9:30. Got up to pee & let doggies outside.

Then made lattes & breakfast (eggs & ham) for hubby. Made baked ham cups again to take on boat.

Guy from Idaho Transportation Dept came out to inspect boat & trailer for VINs so that we can title & register.

I mowed around the circle drive with the NEW lawnmower. Whereas in the past, I have been mowing with a mower to be compared with a little kid's bicycle, this lawnmower is a SUV of lawnmowers. I can actually hear the blades of grass being cut instead of shredded. Very impressed!

We went into town around 12:30 finally. Stopped at banks to make deposits. Went to Lyle's to talk about crooked t-shirts. Picked up fabric for me at JoAnn's who were having a sale 50% off so that I could do fabric garland ties on the boat.

Hubby picked up a sandwich at the Big Yellow Trailer in town. Hubby dropped off his chopsaw at CDA Tool so they could repair it. The old lawnmower is beyond hope as nobody has the gas cap that was installed on it. Hubby said maybe Big R will have a rubber valve to stop it up. Didn't have time to stop there, so instead we went to Costco to speed shop. Only took us 30 minutes even with all the 4th of July nightmare wall-to-wall people! Even saw our friend old Earl and his wife!

Stopped at Wendy's for berry salad for me, cheeseburgers for dogs. Drove home the back way. Hubby unloaded the truck and I took Isabelle down to the vet for her shot. We got gasoline in the Dodge afterwards and had to stop for another coal train passing thru on the way home.

Hubby put the "Bark Ark" on the boat while I mowed the circle drive some more... I definitely need "A Kid" to come pick up branches & pinecones before I can mow anymore.

Watched boring movie Sherlock Holmes on PPV.

SUNDAY

Raining again. Rain. Rain. Rain. I hate this rain. Slept in late until 9:30.

Made french toast for dogs & hubby. Lattes for us.

Took dogs for walk at Farragut Park.

Hubby called guy in Pinehurst to buy another Powerstroke. We were shoppimg in town. Got groceries at Walmart.

We met people at Car Wash in Post Falls to have them look at Dodge for sale. They did not want it. So we parked the FMF that I had driven down with him at Nick's in Post Falls. Bud & Bit & I climbed into the Dodge and we drove to Pinehurst. Had to hang out for a while until the guy answered his phone; he was having dinner with grandma. We drove to the Walmart to shop. Prices much much cheaper there. Ate salads at McDonalds. Dogs had burgers & walkies. Then came back at 9:30 to buy truck. Drove truck home.Saw bad accident. Somebody had hit moose on interstate. Scary & sad.

Dropped Powerstroke off at Nick's. Then came home in FMF and Dodge. Unpacked groceries. Went to bed.



SATURDAY

Stopped at Nick's to sell the Powerstroke to guy from Oregon.

Then went to funeral for kid that had work done at RMOR. Kid had been messing around with a gun and accidentally shot himself.

Saw Vince at funeral. Gave a memorial "dog bone" plaque at the local dog park in the kid's name.
