Home...:)

Good Thursday morning from beautiful but cold (34 degrees with a feels like 27) Yerington, NV.   Only looking for 50 degrees today but warming nicely the rest of the week.  

Tuesday morning after we got ourselves going and a breakfast wrap we both headed outside.  I wanted to get the trailer emptied and cleaned up.  Only a few hours there. Amazing how much stuff is in the little 19 foot trailer!  Looks much better now except all the stuff is in the house and now have to find a place for it! 

Wind came up hard in the afternoon which is pretty typical here in NV.  Our neighbor, Joe dropped over and brought some homemade refried beans so that settled what we were having for dinner, tacos.  Beans were delicious. 

Our beautiful sunset..:))



Wednesday morning after visiting with our online friends we got ready for a Dini's fix with Joe.  He walked over about 0800 and we headed out.  Nice time catching up and of course a delicious breakfast of eggs, potatoes, bacon and toast for $2.99 (M-F).  Can't beat that!  

After we got back I found some things to do in the house.  We actually turned our mattress over (ever since we got home my hip is hurting at night) Funny spent all that time in the trailer and it never hurt once.  We sleep one night in our "home" bed and it's killing me.  We'll get a new mattress soon, but until then we'll try this (actually no problem this am). Changed out the winter comforter for a more lightweight one, but left flannel sheets on for a while longer. 
Ken spent a lot of the day starting and running every single vehicle and ATV we have.  After being gone so long, a few batteries had to be charged. He took every ATV for a quick drive. He got the 73 Dodge truck going and took it for a quick spin too.  

I made some apple oatmeal muffins that we both like with our coffee. Yum. About 1600 Ken decided to barb b q up a few pieces of chicken thighs for him for dinner.  Gotta admit he did a great job, looked delicious. I was having leftover spaghetti squash with veggies and a sauce.  We sat out on the porch swing and even in the wind it was nice.  
This was the cutest short and fat milk jug ever..got it in OK.
We don't have these in NV..(I know Patsy..you're probably the
only other person I know who would think to post this..haha)

Hubby bar b qing

Zoomed in on Joe's flag...flying high and proud in the wind..:)

Ken's chicken thighs and his wind block..

This swing was swinging all by itself in the wind..hahha.

Joe stopped over and had a couple of beers with Ken (wine for me).  I added some rice and gravy to Ken's dinner and then after a while we called it a night. 

Waking up this Thursday morning and catching up with our friends.  We've decided to head for Gardnerville and Walmart later this morning. Our list of things we need (or think we do) is growing.  We know we don't want to go on the weekend so let's go get it done!  

Hope you all have a great day!

  1. Totally understand about how much can be put in an RV,
    We also notice the difference between sleeping in an RV and a Stics and Brics.
    Glad to see you are slowly settling back in.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  2. Nice to get things all straightened out and some nice weather coming soon. Shopping during the week is the best time wherever you are.

  4. Wow, sounds like a great breakfast. I love the milk jug, so cute!! I'd be tempted to recycle it and use it for milk in the future as it looks like it would fit perfectly in the fridge.

    With regards to the hip ache, if it continues try sleeping with a pillow between your knees for a couple of nights, see if that helps, you could also lower your head a bit that might help too. Too many pillows not only bothers the neck but causes stress on the hip.

    It's amazing how much 'stuff' we can accumulate in a short period of time. Glad you got it all inside.

    Enjoy the weather.

  5. It was a wonderful sunset. The one thing I miss when we get back to the house is the wonderful sunsets. Watching the sun set behind the house across the street is just not the same...:)
    Sitting out on a porch swing sounds wonderful.
