Home from Washoe, Ken gets wood, work on the kitchen

We left Washoe Lake State Park about 1045 we were early! Our usual leave time is 1100 no matter what time we get up! It was a great morning of blog reading, coffee, muffins and then after our showers breakfast. Nice leisurely morning!  We were home by 1215, we love that commute!

Just love the clouds! 

My new dining retro chairs were in two boxes on the front porch.  I had to open them (like a kid at Christmas).  I love them, so does Ken. We proceeded to get the trailer unloaded and then a little after 1300 we stopped for a quickie lunch. 

I'm so in love! 

I wanted to run by the post office to mail our taxes off to Winnemucca and then to True Value to get paint samples to match with our chairs.  We had a good time using the samples and picking the right one.  That's my plan on Saturday morning to grab some paint and get started :) 

Around 1700 our neighbor Karen stopped by for a few minutes. If the weather is  better this weekend we'll probably get together for a bit.  After that Ken and I had a drink or two.  Earlier in the day I made up the fixings for tuna melts. Thanks George! Our Awesome Travels .  You can find the recipe on George's blog if you're interested! These are so good and simple! We put them together, Ken's were on english muffins and I had part of a low carb tortilla shell..Oh they were so good! Ken had my left over fries from CVI and I had a scoop of cottage cheese.  Great dinner, so good we're doing it again tonight! 

Those lumps underneath are jalapeños ! YUM!

I have to say my day was made yesterday. While we were reading blogs, daughter in law Christina called just to chat.  A little while later our youngest son Russell called and we caught up.  On the way home our middle son, Eric called to tell us he got insurance on the 61 Impala he's been working on. One step closer to being on the road! YAY Eric! 

I had a lousy night's sleep. Hot, cold, clammy, wild dreams uhh was awake from about 0330.  Should have gotten up but instead just lay there thinking.  I should have remembered I had to amend grandson's taxes as he forgot about a W2 that he didn't get until beginning of March.  The company was flaky from the start, a little coffee shop in Cool, CA.  

At 0530 I started the coffee and got the hubby up to start the day.  We enjoyed visiting with our blogging friends and then the day got started.  Ken was heading for Gardnerville to pick up some firewood from the nursery. Then he stopped by Raley's to pick up my pills and a quick stop at Walmart.  

Thanks Don! Your trailer sure comes in handy for all that wood!

I decided to stay home to get Adam's taxes done and out of the way (Success). Ken got home while I was just finishing.  First time I've used TAX ACT for Bryan's and Adam's. Gotta say they make it too easy.  Most of them for free if your return is simple.  I called daughter in law, Cheryl just to catch up. 

We had another easy lunch today and then on to our own things. I took the handles off all the cabinets and drawers.  First time I've used a cordless drill but sure made things easy, except the last two which Ken was able to get. I washed down all the cabinets and inside one of them that definitely needs to painted inside.  

Into the garbage you go..my old handles

One inside cabinet to be painted..1985 wall paper..time to go :)

About 1600 we both called it quits and time for Happy Hour!  

Eric texted this am that he got tags for the 61 so we expect to see it on the road soon!
