Friday Dusty, Chelsea and Jesse got a little later start than planned but they were all here by 1430. After hugs and greetings I got out the sandwich stuff and they all ate that and macaroni salad. They all got themselves settled. Dusty and family in the bunkhouse and Jesse in the Komfort. Nice to see them being used :)
After that it was more visiting and just enjoying their company. We were out back by the bunkhouse when our neighbors Joe and Stacey came to visit. A little later Karen, Amber and little Millie (Amelia) came over too. We had some snacks outside and then I made enchiladas and coleslaw buffet style so you could eat whenever you wanted. Works best in this little house. LOL.
We spent the evening outside, some of us until near midnight. Ken made a really nice fire and so we all enjoyed.
Saturday morning I got up about 0600 just to make sure I was ready when people started coming inside. The first one I saw was Owen 😍 He was wanting to go riding in the Can Am. He and his sister Cassidy played on the tractors for awhile and then I got breakfast going for whoever was hungry.
Because we know Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to be very different this year I had decided to make a Thanksgiving dinner for us all. Some had been cooked before they got here, but there was still some cooking to do. Ham, Turkey and all the trimmings. Swear I'm slower than I used to be...haha. I wanted to spend time with the kids too.
Dusty and Chelsea went for a short ride and the kids stayed with us and we throughly enjoyed that time. Ken and Owen went for a ride on Ken's quad while Cassidy and I played on the quads in the garage. She talks in her own little language, but sure makes it known what she wants haha. She's so cute 😊
Later we were in the kitchen and Owen asked me when we could go on a Can AM ride and I answered 14 minutes (I was waiting on pies). Chelsea was there and said she'd take him so off they went. When they came back, I was done so he came inside. I asked how the ride was? He said "Well I whined the whole time" Really why? Cause I wanted to go with you! 💖I asked him what he wanted to do now.."Well I guess we can't go on a Can Am ride"..oh do you want to go? He said "do you?" I said "of course"..oh that little face!! So we told mom and dad we were going and Dusty decided to take the 700 and follow along. Nice ride, not too long, he was happy and so was I. Something about the little ones 💓💙
Once we got back I had dinner ready for 1800, again feel free to eat when you want! Karen, Isabel, Amber along with kids were invited for dinner too. She brought a wonderful meat and cheese tray we all enjoyed.
Sophia, Cassidy and Owen 💜
Again, another late night by the fire. Good food, good friends (that are like family) and Family! We have a lot to be thankful for!
Sunday morning came way too quickly and after breakfast around 1000 Dusty and family had to hit the road home. Before that we had Sophia come over and play for a bit. Definitely sorry to see them go, but so glad they came out to visit. They are already planning the next visit.
Good bye Dusty, Chelsea, Owen and Cassidy!
Jesse stayed until about 1430 so that was great. He was in no hurry as he had today off.
Eventually it was back to just Ken and me for the afternoon. I found a spot on the couch and a good book which is pretty much where I stayed. haha. Ken actually joined me most of the afternoon. Not something we normally do, but why not.
We called it an early night and headed for bed.
Monday morning it was 0700 before we woke up. I was awake in the middle of the night for an hour or so which always messes with the morning wake up. Darn. Had our coffees and visiting with blogging friends. Patsy, you are in our thoughts today!
Got breakfast and then Laundry etc. Got the bunkhouse and Komfort back together We're ready for company again! Ken did his thing outside and brought the Mansion back to the concrete. We were hoping to go somewhere for a few days but Ken's got some appointments coming up. We shall see.
After lunch I decided to make some new morning glory muffins for Ken using almond flour. First time for everything. haha.
Now it's time to get this blog published as Happy Hour is upon us!
Well that didn't happen as Karen suggested Happy Hour...
Sitting here this Tuesday morning feeling very grateful for the family and friends that we have. Wouldn't have traded this weekend for anything. Just needs to be longer next time. Love you guys!
We're headed to Reno this am to see about some seat covers for the Tundra and a visit to Total Wine..then we'll see what else we can get into.
Have a great day!
