Champagne Sunday, Ken's cataract surgery, A new project, Congratulations Seth and Mason on new careers!

It's the 5th of June already! I swear this year is going by way too quickly. 

Last Sunday the 1st of June found us inside for Champagne Sunday. It was just too hot to brave the outdoor kitchen. We did enjoy the stock tank later in the day though. 

Exactly what we're doing! 

We decided on bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches for our brunch.  That was something we hadn't had in forever and definitely enjoyed!

Our Christmas gift from Eric and Christina. Works quickly
and kept up with ice! It matches my kitchen too 😊

Tuesday morning we left here for Reno and the opthamologist's surgery center in Reno. Ken was having his cataract surgery. He had his left eye done years ago in Sacramento while we were still working, so only one eye for him. 

His appointment time was 1330. Once they called him back it seems like it took no time and we were ready to leave at just about 1500. I picked him up and we headed straight for Betsy's diner in Carson City. He hadn't had anything to eat or drink since before midnight. I had water, but I didn't eat either. 

Had our delicious meals and then headed for the Days Inn where we like to stay. He had a follow up appointment on Wednesday morning so we decided why drive home just to turn around in the am. 

Wednesday morning we enjoyed hard boiled eggs and toast I brought from  home in the motel room. His appointment was 1130.  Took the scenic route to Reno from Carson. 

Everything was good with his appointment so he'll go back in a month. We left there to pick up an order from Total Wine. After that we headed to Minden, stopped at Tractor Supply to buy some more weed killer.  

Karen got me this towel. So true of our Total Wine stops! 
hahaha. 

The weeds are horrible this year (so are my allergies). We've sprayed 4 times and probably need another one. We paid $55.99 for 2 1/2 gallons of concentrate. During COVID years it was $119.00 for the exact same kind! 

After that we hit Raley's for his prescriptions and then to Sharkey's for their famous fish tacos for him. LOL. A nice drive home and then Happy Hour next door. 

Today we're home, he's got the car hauler on the concrete to get the side boards off and get it ready to head for Home Depot / Lowes  tomorrow. 

I've been saying since we built the outdoor kitchen that I wished we'd have made it about 4 foot bigger, so I could leave a table set up other than just when there's company. Well, we can't add on sideways, but we can come out about 5 more feet. So, because he loves me, he's doing a new project that I'm sure he's not crazy about doing. It won't be easy as our land is not flat, the kitchen inside is,  but that took some work, lots of work. He's perfectly happy with the way the kitchen is now. I am too...but...😊. We'll (he'll) start with a 5x10 area and see about adding the rest after this is done. Maybe, maybe not. Always a project as a happy homeowner. 😊 S

tarting Monday grandsons Seth and Mason will be joining the ranks of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union entering their apprenticeship! Very proud grandparents here! Congratulations Seth and Mason! 😍👏👏

Have a great evening! Happy Hour here in Nevada in a bit. 🍺🍷
