Beautiful sunsets and great days!!

Love our sunsets the last few days! Last night's..

Last night's beginnings of the sunset
Sunday was Father's Day and we were home since camping didn't work out this time.  It was a good day of getting a few things done.  I asked Ken what he wanted for dinner.  His answer was tacos! Real tacos with hamburger meat! Usually we just have chicken or veggie tacos. Ok I can do that.  Then he added he wanted hard shells with flour shells on the outside.  I think Taco Bell calls them double decker tacos. You've got it! 
Ken's Father's Day breakfast...what he wanted

Patsy, told you I wanted a sandwich..yummy on almond
flour 90 second bread...a nice treat!

Ken talked to all 3 boys which made him very happy :)  We all know Father's Day, like Mother's Day is mostly a commercial holiday, but it's always nice to hear from your kids! 

We invited Karen over for dinner so she came about 1730 and we had happy hour out in the front porch area.  The wind was blowing so this was a perfect place to eat.  Eventually we came in for dinner.  Ken enjoyed his tacos and spanish rice. Leftovers too :)  Karen had been visiting her mom and Izzie sent home some red and green chile verde she had made. YUM!

Monday morning found us up early and after our visiting with blogging friends and coffee we got ourselves ready to head out the door.  I made a quick breakfast for us and then we were gone!  It was a Reno day which is about 90 miles one way.  Winco was the first stop, then Total Wine (of course).  We then headed to Carson City as we still had time before lunch, Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight and Joann's fabrics..the last three were a bust! Oh well, then off to Golden Dragon for a delicious late lunch.  Then we headed home. 

Put away the groceries and then watched a little news..again why????? After a bit we started Happy Hour in the living room with the a/c going as it was too hot outside.  Later we headed out for some front porch sitting and then closer to sunset we moved to the back porch.  I know, we shouldn't do that but as Jacob our grandson says "Sometimes I just can't help myself"...

Inside and a little dish of Izzie's chili verde and it was ohhh so good! Plenty left over for another night!






See why we're on the back porch :)



Tuesday morning at about 0300 I woke up and no matter how hard I tried, couldn't go back to sleep! Darn!  So about 0415 I got out of bed and headed for the refrigerator, not for something to eat but to see if I could rearrange it! Yesterday I just kind of stuffed everything in there, but as Ken pointed out, the frig can't breathe that way..ok good point.  So after downsizing some containers etc..it looks much better.

0500 time for coffee with the hubby.   Decided it's time to get this blog posted once again.  We're headed for Ken's shoulder check up in Carson City this am so better get going.  Have a great day!!
