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 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.

Lola can see clearly now . . .

At Lola's eye appointment a couple weeks ago, the doctor discovered she had "after cataracts" (the membrane they leave on the eye after cataract surgery was foggy.) Today she had a laser procedure where they cut a window in the membrane to clear up her vision. On the way home, we made a quick detour to pick up a pineapple milkshake for Bob since he had been craving one lately!

A Visit from Barbara

Barbara came from Reno to visit Monday and Tuesday this week. Bob & Lola had a great time visiting with her. She was also put to work cleaning out the kitchen cupboards!

Haircuts

Friday was haircut day. We went a little later in the morning so we had to wait a little bit before a stylist was ready to cut Bob & Lola. There were only two stylists working that morning (a woman and a man.) Bob had his hair cut by Tom before and really liked him. The woman working was talking to her client when we walked in . . . . and as it turned out talked the ENTIRE time. The whole shop could hear her talking. You name it, she talked about it. I caught Bob staring at her most of the time. When we left, Bob was barely in the car before he told Lola and I, "That woman never shut up! She drove me crazy!" Lola and I just laughed and then Bob (being a little hard of hearing) asked, "What was she talking about?"

Girl Scout Cookies

Delanie, Heather and Mac delivered girl scout cookies they ordered in February to Bob and Lola this week.

Moving Furniture

Randy spent last Saturday moving Bob's desk and new computer to a different wall in the computer room. I'm sure it was a lot more work than they originally thought, but the finished room looks great! Thanks Randy!

Indian Bluffs Action

There was some sort of medical emergency across the street from Bob & Lola's yesterday. Lots of action going on but they never did find out exactly what happened. Leave it to Bob to take the time to get his camera and take this picture. I JUST LOVE that he does that!!

Near Perfect Vision

Bob had an eye doctor appointment on Tuesday at Eye Health NW in Oregon City. Interestingly enough, he had near perfect vision with his eyeglasses on. I believe his vision is better than even mine! I was amazed at how fast he could read even the smallest line on the eye chart. Even Susan, the doctor's assistant, was impressed. His exam went well and his eyes are doing great!

Happy 65th Wedding Anniversary!

Today Bob and Lola celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. (Wow, that's a hell of a lot of years with the same man!) Alyce arrived from Bend to spend the day with Bob and Lola and Barbara. Lola immediately put them to work! They rearranged the extra bedroom to better accommodate Lola's craft items.


Dinner was celebrated at a local chinese restaurant with Robert (and me), Alyce and Barbara. Brad, Heather, Delaney and Mac; Randy, Hailey and Ryan; Kimberly, Darin, Paige, Nathan, Megan, Cassidy and Gabrielle; AND Selena and Joel helped celebrate as well as eat the TON of food that was served. A cookies 'n cream icecream cake topped off the evening. A ton of pictures were taken and a great time was had by all!
