We've got electricity to the Kitchen, Headed over the hill to CA

 Monday we headed for Carson City to pick up the refrigerator I ordered.  We decided to stop at Betsy's Big Kitchen first and have some breakfast. That way we'd only have 2 meals for the day and I would get out of cooking breakfast. Win for me! Delicious as always. 

Found the perfect spot for Cheryl's gift 💕
We got to Home Depot and boy were they busy.  We picked up some electrical things we needed and looked at a few things. Headed for their pick up area and then a little while later we met up with Mark and pushed the fridge to the parking lot.  They want you only to park in one place and that didn't work for us so we got it out there by ourselves. We like Lowe's so much better! 

After that we headed home and unloaded it.  Ken still had time to work some on the electrical. We headed for Karen's later for Happy Hour. 🍷🍺


Perfect size for what we want...


Ken called to order rock on the way home.  Talk about sticker shock Patsy! We had ordered some about 2 years ago then it was $530.00 a load, which equals about 25 tons. Well, $1034.00 for the same load! She did ask if we still wanted it, but we need to have it , so yes. It'll be delivered on Friday. 😱😱

Tuesday morning we spent spraying the weeds that have popped up again. About an hour and a half or so. We did it a couple of months ago but then two days later we had rain and little weeds started popping up again. I've hula hoed a lot, but not in the rock areas. We've had so much wind since then we had to wait for a non windy morning. 

After that Ken spent the rest of the day doing the outlets in the kitchen and seeing where he wants to tie in under the house. 

Took a short CanAm ride up the hill..Lovely field of yellow weeds down below!

Total of 6 outlets and a switch..



Today he got it tied in with success! We have electrical now! 

I got some things ready to leave tomorrow. Russell called and said Aaron's been sick this week and home from school, so we'll see what the rest of the week holds. Hopefully he's on the up and up! 

Happy Hour over at Karen's one more time. 

Well, didn't get this posted last night so getting this done Thursday morning. Time to read some blogs and get on the road. Have a great day! I know I will because I'll be seeing a grandson! 💙😁

  7. Perfect sized Fridge for your kitchen.
    The rising costs are all reflective of the high cost of fuel.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

    1. Yes, I think it will be perfect in there! Fuel is ridiculous! I know you know that as Canada is worse than here. CA is running about $6.29 a gallon, of course that was yesterday could be more today!

  9. I don’t comment often,sorry, but I do read your blog
    regularly and enjoy it greatly !
    Was wondering if you have pack rats there in your
    area and if they may attempt to make a home in your
    beautiful refrigerator? I have read about so many campers
    having trouble with them in their motors.
    Your going to have a wonderful kitchen, lots of envy. Lol

  10. We have what we call kangaroo rats, probably the same thing. We don't have a lot of them but according to hubby it's a genuine concern we'll have to keep an eye out. Thank you for reading and thank you for caring. :) Glad you are liking the kitchen!
