Me and my bright ideas $$$.. :) Company coming! A cute puppy,

 Ken spent a few days this week helping out our neighbor John.  John has a heavy duty trailer that they want to take to Oklahoma to see what goodies they can find to bring home at the beginning of May. The trailer needed new springs put on and the wheel bearings packed. Ken offered to do it as John is in CA working. 

Before Ken added the new springs the fender was almost
sitting on the tires :) 

Ken brought it over here and parked it on the concrete to be worked on. Looks awesome now and they can haul some good stuff on it! LOL. They're also going to see his 1st grandson Stetson Lee, in Oklahoma. :) 

He got it done and back over to John's house ready for their trip! Now back to work on my outside kitchen! LOL. 

As you can see there will be dirt that has to be moved! The cement areas are level

That stick is called the "story pole". 

Along with this eye level it tells you the story of when it's level. I hold the story pole, he sights it in
and then we know how far off it is one way or another. Sure is nice to have the 
right tools! 

Had our first Happy Hour right outside the new kitchen LOL! 😂😃

We took Friday and headed for Reno for a Total Wine pickup :) Then to Walmart for groceries in Carson City and while we were there Lowe's for some framing lumber. We took our 12 foot trailer so that was perfect! 

After checking out I told Ken he's got to learn how to say NO to me! 😂😂 I told him I might pout awhile but I'd get over it. LOL. After almost 50 years guess that's not happening. Sticker shock at the check out! 😱😱

We had these two carts with framing materials

$832.00 right there 😱😱 See why he should have said NO! LOL
Oh well, guess he wants it as much as I do. Can't take it with 
you right?! 

Then to Betsy's for linner and then home. 

Saturday we were home except I took a quick trip to Raley's for a few things I didn't get at Walmart. Ken got the last two blocks cemented in. 

 We've got company coming for a few days! Russell, Lori and Aaron will be coming on Sunday with plans to go home on Tuesday. 😍

Russell and another dad took Aaron (2nd from the right)and a few friends to get a
look at UCLA in a whirlwind one day turnaround trip. About
800 miles! What you won't do for your kids! 💙💙

Meet Roxy the newest member of Eric, Christina and Mason's
family! A great Dane!

Mason worked yesterday so he got a nice surprise as they
weren't supposed to get her until today 💙

Seth's bride, Holly. They went camping last weekend and he
sent me these pics 💖

His truck got some new wheels a few months ago..looks
awesome Seth! 

Ken stopped at a garage sale and we got this beauty (😉😀) for $60.00
With a little paint job (Ken says no, I say yes) it'll be perfect for the 
outside kitchen! Enough space on top to heat up a few things :) 

Time to get this posted and wait for the kids to get here 💖💙. Gonna be cool for riding but I'm betting it doesn't stop them.  We had 80's last week gonna be hard pressed to hit 60 today and cooler tomorrow. Oh well, we're just happy they're coming!!💙 Papa burgers tonight! Yum. 

Have a wonderful Sunday!
