Saturday we went over to John and Karen's and met up with Karen's family to celebrate Mother's Day. We took hot dogs, broccoli bacon salad and lemon bars. Izzie (Karen's mom) made up stuff for some tacos. All so good and way too much food. We were missing Karen and John but glad to have our adopted/chosen family there!

Mother's Day..May 8th..heard from all my boys! Adam called and I had messages from Allissa, Holly and daughter in laws. I'm a happy camper. Honestly Mother's Day and others are made up holidays and I know my kids love me 365 days a year. Yes it's nice to hear from them..but I love hearing from them any time!! 💗

Sunday morning we headed to Topaz Ranch Estates to get some firewood I saw on Facebook Marketplace. Little over a cord of Pinon Pine for $150.00. We don't burn it in the house but it's perfect for outside fires. Beautiful place! Mike helped us load it so we were out of there earlier than we thought. We took the wood home and then at 1300 we headed for Dini's and had an awesome linner. (lunch and dinner).
Sunday evening we headed next door and stayed with the pups overnight. :)
Monday we ran up to town to the local Tru Value and got some stuff so Ken could get the water line in the outside kitchen. They didn't have everything we needed but he could get started.
By the end of the day we had a water line for the Youngstown sink we have. A lot of digging, glad it's mostly sand.

Today we got ourselves up and going as Ken had an appointment with his lung doctor in Carson City. We got there early and got right in. We were shocked that there were no masks required. Dr Foster commented that he thought I didn't come to the last appointment. I told him that I was there because he was the only one of Ken's doctor's I would wear a mask for if needed as he was the dr that saved Ken's life. 3 years ago he wouldn't give up until he found the problem of Ken's lung issue! If it weren't for him I wouldn't have a husband now!
When we left I got a big hug from him 💗 Ken goes back in 6 months for another check up! He was happy with Ken's blood pressure, weight and chest x ray! 😃
After that it was a trip to Lowe's to pick up some pipe for the electrical and a few other things. Walmart was the next stop and then we headed to CVI for a late lunch. They sent some coupons last month so we got out of there today for $20.00 + tip including a beer for Ken and 1/2 carafe of wine for me 🍺🍷
We're hanging with the doggies next door for the night. Tomorrow is a visit with Ken's mom in Carmichael, CA. One day turn around. Thursday I put the contractor back to work LOL!
John and Karen texted earlier they were broke down right over the Texas border. After some cool down time they were able to make Tucumcari, NM. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Time to watch a movie and call it a night. Enjoy! 😁
Pinon pine ... haven't heard of that in years. Burns hot and crackly!! What a nice kitchen table Karen's family has ... wow would I love THAT! I'll say it again ... so nice to have a handy husband.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's why it's for outside fires! Karen has the big island where all the cooking takes place. I have the grey and white table that I love. :) Yep, gotta love a handy hubby!!
DeleteGreat news for Ken! Hope it is nothing serious for John and Karen.
ReplyDeletethank you! So far they haven't got it figured out, now truck is running fine and they'll be home today. Almost worse because you never know when it'll happen again!
DeleteYou all are so creative with your decorating style. Awesome news for Ken and you. Praise God. Hope all is good with John and Karen. Elva
ReplyDeleteHahah. Like I always say our "style" isn't for everyone, just glad Ken likes what I like too. Yes, we're always happy when the X-rays etc come out just like they're supposed too! :))
ReplyDeleteThat's the best news for Ken, each time after a check up. ♥ It's a good thing that is mostly sand, that is a deep hole. Hey! He got it done and the line in. :)
ReplyDeleteSending hopes that Karen and John make it without anymore issues.
Yep makes my heart happy! He's filling in the hole now and preparing for the electrical. So far so good for John and Karen, they're due home late afternoon :)
