Week 4 - Oregon City - January 22 - January28, 2024

This week we went to a place in Lake Oswego to get our TSA Preapproved status - for only $78 for five years.  This year I will use it twice when I go to Boston in February, so it will have cost me 7.80 for each trip to have to only stand in a shorter and faster line. 

This week I also finished the windows.  Here is the last window to which I applied three coats of a polyurethane oil finish.  Unfortunately, as I was applying the urethane, I occasionally (...actually often) seemed to drip or flip the brush, so there were lots of little round drops that had to dry and then be removed using a razor - lesson - cover with newspaper...

In a stunning act of bravery or just pure organization, I did use the razor blade and scrapped off every little drop and then washed both inside and outside!!!!  THE WINDOWS LOOK GREAT!!!

On Tuesday we went to Home Depot and ordered 15 Bali Light Blocker, aluminum, mini blinds.  In a perfect world they will be delivered to Prestige Installations on February (almost two weeks away).  Prestige Installations will then call to make an appointment to come and install them.  We're looking at the fourth week in February which is about a month away.  I can wait.

One afternoon this week, Jessica sent Logan over to "help us do something".  This happens when he walks around the house asking when he can use the computer again.  It was great for us!  He helped Dad and Zelensky prune the Asian Pear tree.

Then he helped me by washing all of the baseboards in the kitchen and bathroom

And he played with the cats

Zelensky does stretching exercises with me.

We did a bunch of Find A Grave photos at the cemetery and ended up at........DQ

Tyler went to Winter Formal with Lydia.  They are very hot.......pink.

Jamie pictures!!  He weighs seven pounds this week.
