It's a beautiful sunny day here in Yerington, NV. Thinking we're done with the cold temps I'm hoping. Of course you know what the warm weather does here, brings out the lizards! Yep saw my first one the other day and have seen a few more. The plug ins that are supposed to keep away pests obviously don't effect lizards. On to other measures to keep them out of my outdoor kitchen!

Last Wednesday our middle son Eric turned 48! Our oldest grandson, Adam turned 24 on the 21st. This Wednesday, our oldest son Bryan turns 50!! It doesn't seem possible!
 |
| Happy 48th Eric!💙 |
We ran to town the other day and stopped by Karen's store, Not Just Candles, a unique gift store! Well, never can walk out of there without spending some $$. Gotta keep the locals in business! 😊

| Couldn't resist, if she had Marine corps I would have got that too! |
 |
| And another 💗 |
Ken ran over to Rio Linda this weekend and met up with our friend, KC. They ran out to another friends place and picked up firewood! Already cut to length! KC sent home some walnut with Ken too! We'll be looking good for next year! Thank you KC and Craig! He was treated to an awesome barbecue dinner too and breakfast sandwiches (Thank you Sierra!) 😋

| Thank goodness for the log splitter! |
Saturday we were surprised by a text from Adam and Erin. They were in Bishop, CA and wanted to come spend the night with us! Of course! I ran to Raley's and picked up a few things and then a stop by the liquor store where they sell the best broasted chicken and seasoned steak fries. Not good for you, but oh so tasty!
The kids got here about 1800, ate and then we all went over to John and Karen's for a great visit.
 |
| Lila and Mugsy were happy to see them! 😃 |
Sunday morning we all took our time and the kids left about 1130. A nice surprise as we hadn't seen Erin since New Years. They are the cutest couple. 💗
 |
| She hurt her ankle while they were hiking, that's why the compression sock. |
We were in the outdoor kitchen to watch the pre race and opening ceremonies of Nascar. The patriotism gets me every time! 💖 [USA][USA] It was also Champagne Sunday so we enjoyed while I cooked up some bacon for bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches for lunch. YUM!
 |
| Champagne Sunday with my hubby! 💛🥂 |
 |
| Bought a couple of six packs to put in planters. I don't go crazy with them, as I usually kill em. Don't have my daddy's green thumb! 😟 |
We enjoyed and then later headed next door for an early happy hour, as John leaves around 0300 for CA on Monday. Some of Karen's family were over so had a nice visit with them too.
Looks like tomorrow we'll probably head for Lowes and wherever else we need to go. We need some paint for the final painting the back of the garage. Ken's got the wood cleared out, so he can paint that section. We'll see what the rest of the week holds!
Have a great one.
Your weather site looks nice. 😊 I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Eric.
Nice that the kids dropped over for a visit.
Yes the weather is changing. Should be mid 80s by the weekend. Always great to have grandkids visit :)
DeleteYou and Ken really are living "the good life" time with family, time with friends, time together, and a little champagne thrown in. I do not think it gets much better then that....keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that life really couldn't be any better and we are thankful every day! :)
DeleteOh how I remember splitting, hauling and stacking all that wood. I'm so thankful for GAS fireplaces now!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYeah we love our wood stove, but there is a lot of work involved.
DeleteWalnut?!?! What I would not give for something other than pine! When we head over to Wisconsin this summer I am hoping to come back with a load of oak! Happy Birthday everyone!
ReplyDeleteWalnut and Oak! Believe me we are grateful! Thanks Jim!!
DeleteWow...that wood is looking good. Happy birthday everyone! I wish we had a liquor store that sells chicken and fries....I'm jealous.
ReplyDeleteWE've lived here 10 years and it wasn't until Joe and Stacey came at the end of March that we've ever bought it. But it is delicious! Thanks Elva!
DeleteHappy birthday to all. Nice to have Adam and Erin drop by, very sweet. That is a big load of wood. Hardwood is heavy, a splitter is always handy! I like the signs, very cute.

Thanks Deb! Yes, I love when they (or anyone) visits LOL. Best investment we bought, the log splitter! Thank you, can't resist certain signs.
