Russell, Lori and Aaron visit! A special gift for Ken! Cold and wind! We have two posts on the kitchen :)

 Sunday afternoon Russell, Lori and Aaron arrived. We were very happy to see them and it was a nice afternoon!  We visited on the front porch for awhile and then moved back to the concrete area out back. 

Aaron, Lori and Russell...💙💗
Lori and Russell will celebrate 25 years of marriage next month 💕

Before we went out back Russell told a story and then gave Ken a new AR15!  💙 💖 Customized and beautiful! We have to say a heartfelt Thank You to Russell, Lori, and friends Dee and Katie for this special gift! 

Such an incredible gift! Complete with bag, cleaning supplies and more!💙 

We had a nice fire and Ken barbecued hamburgers and a couple of turkey burgers. I made fries and onion rings but the onion rings were burnt so out they went. Fries were good though.  Karen came over and visited so a very nice night. We actually didn't call it quits until 0100! 

Russell and Aaron went for a night ride in the Can Am. 😁 They weren't gone too long but enjoyed themselves. 

After going to bed the wind blew and howled all night long!! It continued all day Monday. Made some yummy breakfast sandwiches in the morning. Aaron had six pieces of french toast and bacon instead. 

Aaron and Russell went for a quick ride, Aaron on the 700 and Russell in the Can Am. Cold and windy so they weren't gone too long but Aaron likes speed so they had a good one 😂

Lori and I ran to Raley's while they were gone. I had planned on ham, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole for Monday dinner but Aaron said he really was hoping for my enchiladas so that's why the trip to Raley's 😃 Russell said that's what he wanted too. 

On the way back I noticed Karen's front fence was falling over from the winds so Ken, Russell and Aaron spent some time adding kickers and standing it back up.  Didn't envy them in the 40-60 mph winds. 

The afternoon and evening was spent in the house as it was too miserable to be outside! We called it a night quite a bit earlier than the night before LOL. 

I love this picture 💙 Russell is telling his dad all the ins and out of this gun!

Today, after breakfast we headed over to the gun range that's only a couple of miles from our house.  The boys shot guns and Ken enjoyed learning about, and shooting his new one 😊 Fun to watch all of them!

                                          This isn't the video I wanted of Russell, but I can't delete it. 

After we got back, Russell and Aaron headed out for their last Can Am ride of this trip.  They came back cold and with freezing hands. The wind and cold is back! They all loaded up and were out of here about 1200 to head back home to Antelope, CA. So glad they came out! Short visit better than no visit! 💙

The last ride before they left..Aaron got the Can Am up to 68 miles per hour!!

Good Bye you three! See you soon!

After they left I did laundry, etc until I didn't want to anymore. Ken was working on the outside kitchen so decided to supervise for a bit. Cold and windy so I had a hoody and a jacket on, but I had to do my job! LOL. He got the bottom plate down, so I can really tell how big it is! He decided to get a couple of posts up with kickers so I was able to help him with that. About 1630 so time to call it quits! 

Now I can see the size 12x20😆

I posted the other day about the ugly tumbleweeds being housing for quail and
bunnies. The wind the last two days took care of that!

Two posts and kickers are up!! See the supervisor chair LOL..

Happy Hour is inside tonight as it's still too cold and windy to be outside. 

This has been an awesome couple of days having family visit and just enjoying their company. Allissa (Jacob's sweetie) face timed last night so we could talk with her. Connection wasn't very good but still a nice little visit. 💗
