Alyce's Visit

Alyce came to town and ran Bob & Lola around all day. They went shopping and out to lunch and dinner! Bob and Lola had a great visit with Alyce

Happy Mother's Day

We took Lola & Bob to Davinci's Restaurant in Milwaukie for Mother's Day dinner. This restaurant is one of our favorites. It was very busy but we went early enough that we got in without a reservation. Lola had a chicken linguine and Bob enjoyed a scampi dish (he likes shrimp.) They also shared (and enjoyed) a lemon cake for dessert! After dinner, we went visited a short time with my parents.

Senior Moments

Last week Barbara visited from Reno. They visited with Kim and some of her kids on Monday. Paige and Nathan were in school.

Tuesday evening before we took Barbara to the airport, we went to Red Robin for dinner. Rj and I picked the three of them up at the same time dropping off a couple of hanging basket planters (an early Mother's Day gift for Lola). Bob and Lola had some issues in the back seat:

Bob: Would you help me instead of just sitting there.

Lola: Move your fingers.

Bob: (breathing hard)

Lola: Put your hands in your lap. You're sittin' on it.

Bob: Just put it straight in. There.

Lola: You've got it in the wrong spot. You're chokin' me!

Bob: Laughing hard and breathing even harder.

I turn around and see this:

Yes . . . . they were having trouble with the seatbelts . . . what did you think? Barbara, the entire time, is just laughing. We were half way to the restaurant (Red Robin at Mall 205) before they were properly hooked up.

We get to the restaurant and Bob is excited to see a TV in his line of view . . . he watches the NBA playoffs. Bob & Lola decide (as they usually do) to order one item and share it. He says "What should I order?" (something he always asks.) Then he suggests to Lola a Bleu Ribbon Burger. Lola says okay. I ask Bob if he likes bleu cheese. He says "No." I tell him that's what the burger has on it. He picks a Roast Beef Burger instead. Good choice, Bob.

Medford Visit

Here are a few of the bijillion pictures Bob took in Medford. Good job, Bob!! A big shout out to John and Sharon for giving Bob & Lola the opportunity to go to Medford. They had a great time. Thank you!!

Happy Easter

I thought I had just made it over to Bob & Lola's right before they were planning on leaving for Medford to spend some time with Norma. As it turned out, John was running late and they didn't leave for Medford until 3:00. I told Bob I brought a hat for him to put on so I could take a picture and put it on his blog. He says, okay . . . and put the rabbit ears on, just chuckling while doing it. I just love that man!! He'll do anything for a picture!

Basketball Game??

So, Brad picked Bob and Lola up for a Blazer game last night. (Yours truly knew that, but obviously forgot because I showed up at their house at 6:00 last night . . . hopefully they found the brownies I left on the porch swing.) Anyway, I get the following pictures in my inbox this morning. . . . After a bit of confusion (thinking Brad sure goes an odd way to get to the Rose Garden . . and then realizing. . . . ) this photo Bob took the day before when Rj took him to a doctor appointment on "pill hill." Apparently, Bob is interested in a crane on the way. . . .

. . . and some sort of construction work on the road.

Now. . . to the basketball pictures . . . Delanie in the elevator going to their seats.

. . . the fans.

The basketball court before the game.

The Blazer stunt team waiting patiently apparently right by Bob's seat.

The stunt team in action . . . nice view Bob!

Delanie and her friend!

. . . and WOW dessert for Lola (shared, of course, with Bob!!) Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see ANY pictures of the game! You did see a basetball game, didn't you Bob?!?!

Happy Birthday Hailey !

Last night, Bob & Lola, Rj & I went to Randy and Debi's house in Vancouver to celebrate Hailey's 6th birthday. We brought Hailey her very own digital camera! As we had hoped, she loved it and took a bijillion pictures while we were there. We had a great mint chocolate chip icecream cake (Hailey's favorite) and enjoyed the antics of Ryan. At some point Ryan decided Grandma Lola needed to dress up in his cowboy outfit. Too funny!

Busy Day

During one of the last rain storms, it was discovered the roof vent in the shed was leaking. After inspection, it was decided that the roof on Bob & Lola's house, as well as the shed, needed to be replaced. Today the workers started! I am blown away that everyone Bob encounters is extremely cooperative when he takes his pictures. Aren't people just amazing?!

An Outing for Loo

Loo had a grooming appointment with Nancy on Tuesday. He sure loves Nancy! Bob decided he needed dog food because he was "running low." After we dropped Loo off, we went to Clackamas Feed and got a 40 pound bag of Loo's dog food. No, he doesn't eat the stuff that was part of the nationwide recall. Got back to the house and put the new 40 pound bag with the 10+ pounds left in the bin! Loo is set for another 6 months (at least!!!)

Delanie's Birthday Party

LAST weekend (Sunday), Bob and Lola were taken out to Brad's house to celebrate Delanie's 10th birthday. They had a great time!

An Honor

Today "some guy from the military in Salem" brought Bob a plaque commemorating the dedication of the Baker City Armory. Lola and Bob (and obviously, the "guy") took these pictures.
