How can time fly so fast! Here it is Tuesday a week later. We've been home mostly, so not a lot to write about. Cold, snowy and colder! We've enjoyed being home, but I told Ken we need to get away longer next year. Of course, this year there were circumstances that brought us home.
Our oldest son Bryan finally had major hernia surgery on Thursday. He's been off work for months because of it, but the doctor wanted to use a robot technology so it wouldn't be so invasive, but still recovery is painful at this point. Told him when he's ready for visitors, we'll head over to CA.
A nice surprise on Friday, Adam headed over after work and left on Sunday morning. Always a pleasure to see grandsons! 💗

| Saying good bye to Adam on Sunday morning 💙 |
We've hung out in the kitchen a few days and just enjoyed being out there.
 |
| Originally when we built the outdoor kitchen we only wanted valances so as not to block the view. We're finding out that during certain times of the year the sun shines brightly, too brightly so I threw together a double sided curtain that definitely helps when closed. Try to pull them back as far as possible 😃 |

| Definitely makes a difference when they are closed for a few hours. |
Yesterday was a stay inside and watch movies day. That's fine here and there, but Tuesday was going to be a repeat. The temperature never got above 35 with a feels like 25 and winds.
Ken mentioned going to Carson City today and having lunch at Red's 395 Bar and Grill. Who am I to argue?! Headed out this morning and ended up at Greens Farm Supply in Reno as they advertised firewood for sale. We will probably get a half cord from them soon. Then to Total Wine for a pick up order, since we were in Reno. Took the scenic route to Carson and then had a nice linner there, near 1300. It was a nice day. I would have suggested heading down 395 for a more scenic route, but snow has areas closed. Oh well, soon! :)

| Love their decor, service and food! |
It's Happy Hour now here at home. Cold temps, looks like we'll be inside. Hoping for a warm up at the end of the week! Enjoy! 🍷🍺
I like the view from the outdoor kitchen but I know sometimes the sun is a little heavy handed. Best wishes and safe travels to your friends Kim and Lance.
ReplyDeleteI love the view too, but when the sun is glaring in your face, something had to be done :) Thank you for the wishes for Kim and Lance.
DeleteWinter just won't go away here either but we have hop for the end of next week!
ReplyDeleteSaw Rapid City on the weather channel this morning and thought of you guys! Yep, hope it's done soon! :)
DeleteFingers crossed for warmer weather for you. Lovely curtains and practical too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Patsy. A quick sew up, and they work LOL
DeleteOh to live so close to great restaurants ... including your outdoor kitchen!! Love the curtains.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy. This is a great restaurant but 70+ miles, one direction haha. So we had to really be in the mood for a drive!
DeleteSounds like a good week. Safe travels and good luck to your friends. Get well to Bryan. Hope recovery is speedy.

Thank you Deb! Bryan's been suffering for so long, meaning he should have started workman's comp a long while ago. So glad he got it done, even with the pain involved now. You're too sweet.
DeleteAmazing how you two will drive so far for lunch and Dolly and I won't drive 3 miles into town. Love the view from your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were kids we would drive from Sacramento to South Lake Tahoe for a sub sandwich at A and W. LOL. Guess things haven't changed much since then :) Nice to hear from you Doug!
DeletePretty curtains and I am sure are a nice addition when the sun is shining brightly. Hope your son has a quick recovery. Safe travels to your friends.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! Kim and Lance did I40 yesterday through AZ, said the potholes were horrible! LOL.
