I always have good intentions of getting this blog published, but then life happens and it doesn't. LOL.
Last Saturday Eric came over and brought things for us to take to Bryan's and some for Ken. Now we can say that Shawn's wishes have been carried out. Shawn ( My sister's husband) passed away in Feb of 2023. He wanted his guns and ammo and safe to be divided between the Kay boys and now that has happened. 💙
Ken and I had Champagne Saturday watching college football and had low carb cauliflower pizza for our brunch before Eric got there. I had plenty of lunch meat for Eric to make him a sandwich. 😋
We certainly enjoyed our time with Eric even though it was only for one night.
Sunday morning after a nice fire and breakfast Eric left for home. Working people you know?!

So, I was a bad girl and had a few glasses of champagne, can't let it go flat right?! LOL. A nice day was had for sure!
Monday morning, time to get things packed and made for the trip to Arkansas. Ken barbecued chicken and I made egg salad for sandwiches for him. Patsy, I know you make egg salad for Bill, but in 52 years of marriage I've never made them! Ken made the comment he loves them. OK, guess his mom made them. She doesn't remember. Karen, next door makes the egg salad and so I copied hers. Yeah, he's a happy camper! Egg burritos for the road too.
Tuesday morning we left around 0900. We weren't in a hurry as we knew where we were going to stop before going through Vegas.
Had a great evening and night at Lee Canyon turn off. There's a great boon docking site there.

Wednesday morning we got up, had breakfast burritos and headed out. We got through Vegas at about 1100 which was perfect for the drive. Ended our drive in Holbrook AZ at the KOA which we've stayed at several times in our lifetime.
This morning our goal was Amarillo, TX. We drove 539 miles to The Big Texan Steak House. Our plan was to park in the back, which we did. We wanted to have dinner there, so we waited until after 2000 their time (1800 our tummy time). OH MY GOSH. The place was packed with people and a huge waiting line! NOPE not happening. We've been here several times, but always for lunch! Dinner is crazy! Luckily we have our own food in the Mansion so that was dinner. Honestly, both of us were disappointed but not waiting forever to give away our money. Next time, LUNCH!
Tomorrow our goal is the Arkansas State Line Rest Area on I 40 for the night. 435 miles and next day is 163 to Bryan's. This has been a trip/mission rather than a vacation. We're hoping the way home will be a vacation, but again we have a deadline to be home. Looking forward to getting Bryan's wood stove hooked up and seeing them! 😁
Jacob will be home later this month, so I know his parents and Allissa are super excited for him to dock in San Diego. We are too, even though we won't be there to see him come in. It's been a long almost 9 months.
Aaron left today to see his sweetie Kenna in Alabama for a few days. Super excited for them to get to spend some time together since she left for college.
Russell, Lori, John and Andrea made a quick trip to Orange County (southern CA) to get a donation of beer from a brewery. There's an awesome event going on in Sacramento called I Can Fight Cancer Brewfest. Steve put it together, we've known and loved him since high school. It's going to be amazing with 35 breweries pouring!
Congratulations on a wonderful event on Saturday! I know it's going to be a great success and benefit! 💗💙
Have a good night. One more glass of wine and it's bedtime! Have a great one!
The trip is going good so far! I'm glad Ken enjoyed the egg salad, it's so easy to make and Bill loves them.
ReplyDeleteStay safe on the rest of your journey.
Those drinks in the window make me want to have a couple myself. Love your fall decorations too. Safe travels!!
ReplyDeleteI too have been a bad blogger, on the other end though. I have the best intentions of reading and commenting on blogs, next thing I know the day is gone.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you two are on the road, keep on having fun!
