Happy Birthday in heaven Mom! Home for the last few days

Good morning from Yerington, Nevada!

We had a very nice time at John and Karen's as always.  We really lucked out with our neighbors on both sides!  An extra special treat, as John surprised Karen by showing up unexpectedly so did two of her daughters and grandkids!  Lynzee who lives in southern CA picked up Isabel who lives in Laughlin, NV and surprised Karen! She is one happy momma for a few days! 

John bar b qed lots of ribs and pork roast! What a feast! Got ourselves home around 2300.  

Love our sunsets when there's clouds involved!

Love the skies too! This was on one side of the house...

Tuesday morning I made a chocolate cake and some spinach dip to take next door.  Ken went out and helped John put up the new/old gate from our property to theirs.  A little concrete will have to be poured before it will be usuable as it's higher off the ground than the "temporary" gate. Concrete will keep their dogs from getting out.  It's in place though and will definitely look nice. 

After lunch I headed to the bunkhouse to do some cleaning.  WE had the same problem last year of moths getting in somehow.  I sure don't know how, but it appears they're in and trying to get out through the windows.  Red stuff all over the windows, but nothing that Windex can't take care of for sure! Nice to have air conditioning in there! The outhouse had the same problem so took care of that too.  

This was on the other! 

Our huge drops for a few minutes..

Ken came in later in the afternoon and pretty much we just vegged as it was too hot to be outside. 

We were going to get together with John and Karen to say goodbye, but again too hot.  About 1900 they walked over and we said our see ya laters! 

It was supposed to be the day of my kitchen floor being installed, but they called while we were in CA and said it wouldn't be in until the 18th so they'll be here on the 20th. 

Wednesday morning we just took our time getting ready as we really had no plans to go anywhere except Ken to physical therapy. 

Grandson Adam called so we had a nice chat about work and life. He's enjoying his job for the State Parks but now has added something else to his schooling. He'll be taking a wild land firefighting class in the fall. With the completion of this class he can work for Cal Fire next summer or sooner. He should have his AA degree come the end of the semester. He actually starts physical training in Polluck Pines next week. Good luck Adam!

Ken had his appointment and all is going well! She said he's doing so good that she's going to start him on strengthening a little ahead of schedule! Yay for Ken! 

After lunch we ran next door with the cake and dip and dropped it off as we could see the whole gang was there! We said we'd be back later when it cooled off some.  

Ken bar b qued a couple of burgers for him and a turkey burger for me. While we outside we were treated to some lightening, thunder and a rain shower or two. I love this time of year when that happens! 

Once he was done with the bar b q we headed next door and visited on their back deck for awhile. Again, we were treated to lightening, thunder and rain. Nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy. Reminds me of being back at Don's in TN and enjoying the same. :) 

Bar b q and some anaheim chili peppers..yum!

Eventually we headed home and enjoyed those burgers! Karen sent home some macaroni salad Lynzee had made so he really enjoyed that with his burger! I made a couple of low carb chips and a guacamole dip with mine. YUM!

It was a really warm night and this morning we're waking up to 60 degrees at 0515. It's a Walmart day so we'll get ready to head out and see what the day brings!  

Happy Birthday to my momma in heaven! Love and miss you every day!

My beautiful mom..not too long after
they were married :) 

Have a wonderful day!
