Today is Tuesday, June 6 and Jason's Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON! Haven't posted for several days - Just felt like I needed to give it a rest for a few days.
Friday night we got together with new friends - Faye and Stan and Rose and Leroy. Jim made steaks and he and I made the salad, potatoes, etc. The dinner turned out well. The most fun was having a leisurely evening getting to know these neighbors. They're much like us - retired, but still enjoying life.
Stan and Faye got their patio cover built Thursday and Friday, so Sunday we had to join them for drinks under the cover. Can't wait for the Modesto house to sell so we can build ours.
Our day was filled with preparation for having guests, meaning we were motivated to catch up on house work, and unpacking that we had been neglecting. Jim worked really hard running errands and helping with the cleaning. We make a good team. Earlier in the day I had made some hummus, which turned out yummy. Sadly, we didn't get to eat it - just before serving I opened the refrigerator and the bowl came tumbling out onto the tile floor. Glass and tile are not friends. Fortunately, hummus is gooey so the glass didn't shatter all over the whole kitchen. We had bought a case of garbanzas at our last trip to Costco, so we can make another batch.
Saturday we lazed about and watched a movie - after we finished cleaning up from the night before. Sunday we went shopping in Oakley and bought a bunch more plants, mostly indoor, although I did get an Asian cucumber which I will grow on a trellis. House plants seem to thrive in this house, and since we have so much space, it seems a shame not to have a lot of them.
Monday I had a doctors apt. Just to get acquainted. He seems like a knowlegeable fellow, and since he's the only doctor in Rio Vista, I guess he's ok as a primary care physician. I could go into Oakley or Antioch, or even Walnut Creek, but since this fellow seems ok, I might as well stay here. Jim goes in to meet him today.
Today we're getting our ceiling fans installed. The house stays fairly cool until the warmest part of the day, so the fans will help a lot, and hopefully, we won't need to use the air conditioner. Rio Vista runs from 6 to 10 degrees cooler than Modesto.
The electrician will be here shortly, so I need to get going...
Love to all
Corrie and Jim
