More work and $$ on the Kountry Kitchen! Aaron visits another college! Owen and Cassidy have breakfast with the Easter Bunny! Grandma's home from the hospital!

 Well, we made another trip to Lowe's our home away from home right now LOL. This time we went to the one in Fernley, so only about 55 miles from here. We were home before lunchtime. 

We decided it was time to get the tin for the roof and what we're doing on the sides of the outdoor kitchen. The checker asked what we were building. We told her and she said good thing we're buying it now as everything is going up! We could tell that just by the prices of the corrugated tin! 

Here's what $763.00 will get you..3 bags of concrete, 7 sheets of corrugated
tin, 7 sheets of roofing tin and some metal post caps 😱

He's got kickers on the posts and he poured that last pier in the middle..the
orange bucket will be removed LOL.

We got home and Ken got to work in the horrendous wind we've had all week! Today is no exception! 

Thursday morning he went outside to work on the kitchen and discovered we got the wrong post caps for the 4x4s so he had to go back to Fernley Lowe's to return them. I was working on Bryan and Cheryl's taxes so I stayed behind. 

He got back and told the story of a young guy in line behind him. Lowe's always asks if you're a veteran or pro customer. The answer is always no to both. The guy says "Here use my card, they f*** ing price gouge us here so use mine".  He swipes his card so Ken got 10% off the purchase.  Where was he when we were spending $700+ LOL.  I told Ken that means he was a veteran as they get 10% and Pro customers get 5%.  What a sweetheart! Russell, thought you'd like that story 💙 Probably a Marine as he talks just like you 😂😂

Yeah, that got me when Ken was telling the story💙

So it was about 1315 when he headed outside to start working on the kitchen. 

He did really well considering it was after 1300 when he started. 

This will be our view out the front of the kitchen..not bad 😊

We're planning on at least one window in the back of the kitchen, so this would
be a partial view 

At the end of Thursday 

End of Friday. You can't tell in this picture but the roof will have a slight (6inch)
difference the front will be taller.  We'll have another trip to Lowe's in the near
future, but we're (HE) getting there! 

It will be open in the front with 3 sides..hopefully two windows on the
back wall..Lowes has the size we would like, but not til August! So nope!

Love the gussets  he made!

Ready for the corrugated tin on the bottom 36 inches high. Some kind of wood
will go on the top rest of the wall.. 

View from our back porch..this afternoon...I'm in love!!




Grandson Aaron visited another college today with his dad. So I'm quoting from FB
as I have no idea what this means..Collegiate Showcase in Stockton. 

Aaron played really well as a DB but actually got invited the MVP session as an OLB!
Path to the Next Level...College FOOTBALL! Someone said OLB is Beast Mode! 

Looks like Aaron meeting the coach if I had to guess 

Aaron at check in I'm assuming 



My sister Linda went to Breakfast with the Easter Bunny with her son, daughter in law and grandkids💖

The Easter Bunny, Linda and Owen (Cassidy wanted no part of the Easter
Bunny)

Owen getting his face painted...Look at those gorgeous roses! 

Miss Cassidy made some bunny ears to match her boots💖
They grow up so quickly!!


Last but not least definitely...Ken's mom was in the hospital this week for a few days. They were thinking it was a heart attack, but it wasn't Thank God! She's home and doing fine and we're alll happy about that!! Love you Grandma!💖

Tomorrow we'll head to Karen's for Easter with her family. Monday is Reno for Habitat for Humanity to see if we can find windows we like. Lowe's of course! LOL .

Have a great evening! Happy Hour with the hubby!!🍷🍺
