Well the day started off ok but it spiralled down fast. Steve couldn't wait for Nikki to make an appointment so we decided to head out to Elk Grove to sign the papers on the house. It took us an hour to get there. On the way over there Steve was doing his best to start a fight. We got there about 12:30. Signed the papers. We decided to go to Sourdough & Co for lunch. That's when Steve made it clear that he blamed me for selling the house. I think the house is a testament as when he turned his life around. I am the evil gold digger who took him away from his tools and house. Both of which he loves more than me. I am so tired of being his whipping post as I am always around and convenient. When he is mad at the girls he takes it out on me so as not to alienate them. It has always been that way. Does he think he can keep saying hurtful things and after day or so we are friends again? The hurtful things are not remembered?
Anyway the trip home was very quiet. I finally finished my book. Now to finish the next one in 6 days. After that I worked on the quilt binding. We snacked for dinner. Then I finished the binding.
Then up to bedroom for handwork on the quilt handwork and TV.

I saw all the Bunco ladies today. It was great to see everyone.
We were scheduled to visit Marie and Jim this morning at 10. So after breakfast and chores we left here at 9:10 because apparently it takes almost an hour to get to Marie's from here. Or so Steve thought. But Alas Debbie was right so we ended up sitting on the side of the road for 15 minutes so we wouldn't get there too early. We had a nice visit with both Marie and Jim. She still has a great outlook and we are hoping for a speedy recovery. Jim looks worn out and had some kind of bug. I will have to keep in better touch with her.
Then we ran to the yellow house to drop off the dogs. Then over to Mr. Pickles for lunch with Val and Kim. And Steve. Then we met up with a bunch of the girls at the Lyons club and then drove over to Glenda's for Bunco. It went fast and we were out of there by 3. Mona dropped me at back at the Acorn Hill House. Then back to the rig. After walking the dogs we took a short break. We went next door for dinner with kathy and Dave and their friends Randy and Alice. Once dinner was over another neighbor Alan and Kay came over and we talked til eight. The group broke up as it was getting cold. Finally the evening end with TV and games.

We made a huge dent in the storage shed today. It is rather freeing to get rid if all the stuff. It is surprising how little stuff you really need.
We got up leisurely and had breakfast. I sewed for about half an hour then we left for Nikki's house. We got there about 10:30. Steve and I started going thru the stuff in the shed. Nikki and Chad got everything down from the attic and brought it out for us. We had alot pulled out and ready the girls to go through. By three we were ready for the BBQ. Nikki and I did the ribs in the instapot. They turned out wonderful. I will try them again in my instapot.
We had a nice dinner with everyone even though we ate at the dinner table and everyone else ate in the patio.. we left at 4 ish . We splurged on ice cream tonight. I finally finished quilting the BOW quilt. Finally time to rest and recreate with the TV.

We got up at normal time. Did morning chores. We took off to meet Glenda at Beef and Brew for breakfast. We had a good breakfast but it was not as good as anticipated. The sausage patties were crispy and the eggs were dry but the pancakes were to die for. They are made with sweet cream. I wish they would give me the recipe. Then back to the rig were we hung out for the rest of the day. I sewed and Steve carved. We visited with our new friends in the park. I will never quit a bit quilt like that again. The machine just can't handle it.
At four we all piled into the car and headed to Cool for dinner. They insisted on paying for our dinner. After dinner we drove rattlesnake bar road to check out the back of Folsom Lake. Then we were back to the rig to do TV and games.

Everything went according to plan. I got up as Steve left. Did morning chores and had breakfast. I loaded up the dogs and drove to the yellow house . Dumped the first load in the washer. Jumped back in the car and headed out to the Quilt store. The a quick stop at Starbucks. Back to the yellow house to do more laundry and wait for Steve. As usual he was visiting and all thoughts of the world disappeared. He was supposed to stop to talk to Mike Spivey at Safe CU and he forgot to do that. He didn't get back till almost noon. I was getting a little worried. When he got there we decided to go get gas and grab a bite for lunch. We ate at the new place near Safeway Sourdough and Co. It was pretty good. We made our way back to the yellow house. I stayed and he returned to the trailer. He got the house thing straightened out. We hung out until it was time to take our walk then dinner. Finally our neighbors came over for the fire pit. They stayed over 2 hours and we made a plan to grab a bite for dinner tomorrow. We finally ended the evening as we were all cold. Came in for a shower and heat. Today would have been my Dad's 107th birthday.

Well there has been a hiccup in the closing. The estimated taxes are going to bump her payment up to 2400 dollars a month. We need some explanation. I think they have some refiguring to do.
Steve was up early to go meet his motorcycle friends at the donut shop. I got up and did all the morning chores and had breakfast. I did my usual Thursday weigh in and the scales were good to me this week. 211.4 down 4.3 pounds. Need to keep up the good work. By the time that was all done Steve was back.
We made arrangements to have is root canal done in Casa Grande. Finally I was just about ready to resume sewing when I called Kim to see if it was ok to bring the dogs and realized it was time to leave for lunch with Kim and Don. On the way out we tried to extend time here so we could be here for the closing. We were only able to extend one night. So we decided to stay at Delta Shores in Isleton. We arrived about noon and she made a tiny salad and a time piece of Taco pie made in the instapot. Not a great recommendation for the instapot. She gave me an excellent cookbook for the instapot. Now I realize I will need all kinds of extras such as a spring form pan that fits in the instapot and a sling to pull the things out of the pot.
We sat out on the deck and chatted for a couple of hours the went on errands. Post Office where I re boxed the things I was sending to David and Brita and then over to Safeway. Once we were home I was able to get some more sewing done. I will never try quilting something like that again. To the quilter it goes.
The neighbor came to check on us and we chatted for awhile.
We BBQ'ed chicken for dinner and I put the clothes out in the car and readied them for the laundry tomorrow. Finally time to watch TV and cozy up to the dogs.

We had a very busy day today running errands. We went right out after morning chores to Idle wheels to fill up some propane bottles. Took them back to the rig and took off for Roseville for our Dentist appointments. I got the A-ok but Steve has three fillings to replace and needs a root canal and crown. We will have to make a plan to get all that taken care of.
Then we had Subway for lunch. Next we stopped at Dress Barn so I could pick up a pair of Jean's. Hopefully next time I buy Jean's it will be because I need a smaller size.
Then over to JoAnn's for some thread then back up the hill to the yellow house after a stop at the post office.
We loaded up the packages then Steve cut some wood. We are still waiting on the date for the house closing. We hung out at the rig till dinner which was BBQ'ed pork chops . Then a short brisk walk around the park. Finally TV and and relaxation.
