CDA Light Parade

FRIDAY
November 29, 2013

What a relaxing day. It started out great. Woke up at 8:00. Hubby was downstairs on the couch with Bud sleeping on his lap. Bud was "humming" his contentment.

I made latte for hubby. Made breakfast sandwich for hubby & omelette for puppies. Puppies had their pills. We watched a couple shows on tv. Then took dogs down to the park for a walk along the shoreline. Saw lots and lots and lots of dead Kokanee washed up. Gross.

Got gasoline in the Excursion.

Got gasoline in the Dodge.

Hubby wanted to light the new Bronco that he bought for me from Chris Howard. He called Jeff (Toothless) to come over and put on the inverter. It started snowing around Noon. Roads got really slippery.

I broke my fingernail on a Christmas tote in the basement while looking for Xmas lights.

Called Rhonda and she said that she could replace it by 2:45 appointment.

Hubby took me, Bud, Ben & Lil Bit in the Dodge to Rathdrum. We got duct tape & Xmas lights at the Hardware store. Then hubby took me to Salon 41 to get my nails done. Lady was just coming out as I went inside. Hubby drove over to Espresso stand to get us lattes. He gave one to Rhonda and gave one to me. Paid Rhonda $10 even tho she said she did not need $ for fixing my nail.

We left and drove home. Unloaded dogs & put Bud in the Excursion that was already sitting down at the shop with the trailer & Bronco loaded. Jeff (Toothless) was just finishing. We drove to CDA and met kids at the Frontier parking lot.

They jumped in the Excursion with us and we drove downtown to the Grocery Parking lot to meet everybody. Saw Joe & Cindy Holman (Megan was there - she is getting married on the 28th of Dec in Las Vegas). Saw Dave & Bonnie Graham. Saw Vince.

We got in Bronco and followed Joe Holman in parade. The inverter was overheating on Bronco and lights kept going out. We did most of parade with no lights. Bud sat up front with me and stuck his head out. Everybody liked it. Bravo was in the back with Matt & KRN.

After the parade, we drove back to get Bronco loaded at the Grocery store. KRN and I went potty in the grocery store.

We drove to Olive Garden (KRN had the cellphone app pick a place to eat) and had dinner. KRN and I went to walk dogs while guys got a table. When we got inside, none of the hostesses seemed to know where the guys were... Chris was our waiter.

Then after dinner, we took kids to their truck and we went home.

Hubby fed turkey dog grog to the puppies. We watched 30 Rock re-run and went to bed.
