The week flies by...

Good morning from Yerington, NV.   It's Thursday already, where does the time go?!! Looks foggy out there, Ken opened the door and it's raining a bit..

Pretty much it's been the same all week, with nowhere to go but the grocery 
store, we've been home.  

The boys like to stay up until all hours and so most mornings we don't see them until 1100 or so :) Then it's time for a late breakfast, I give them the choice of breakfast or lunch, they always pick breakfast.  Bacon, (lots of bacon) LOL.  Then it's either french toast or waffles or both. When they're here, I cook them whatever they want as we don't get to see them that often.  

Later in the afternoon they go for a quad ride out to the BLM.  Phones are with them in case there's a problem but they are safe and cautious drivers now that they're older.  



These don't look like the picture I made them from LOL..but they are
chocolate covered strawberries deep fried in waffle dough..Mason had
one, Aaron ate the rest..hahah.  Guess they don't have to look good
to taste good! Today we're trying deep fried ice cream..

The weather hasn't been great with lots of wind and chilly.  Hoping for a warming day so we can go to BLM and do some shooting or the range. 
Aaron getting ready to go..Ken's putting gas in Mason's 

Time to head out!


Because of the wind, Ken has a moveable bar b q.. LOL

Eric and family gave this cast iron cooker to Ken a few years ago..
Makes ONE HUGE burger!! Thanks guys!



We had a night of ping pong championships which will need to continue. There's been movie watching in the evening.  Aaron picked Joker yesterday at Red Box and another.  After an hour or so, I went to bed.  Ken stayed up and watched with them. :) 

Anyway, that's about it.  Taking it easy, some baking, and of course Ken finds himself plenty to do! 

Have a great day! 


Easter Sunday in Florida..probably 1962 or so..

Easter Sunday..Carmichael, CA.  I was in the 6th grade..

Loved our tent dresses! I remember we got these out at Denio's Auction
or as daddy called it  "Okie Farms"...most Saturdays we'd head out there
just to see what they had! 

Out front of our house..modeling our dresses! haha.

  1. Wonderful times and great memories. I'll be by for breakfast tomorrow if you're going to serve those waffles again. Haha. I've never heard of deep fried strawberries nor had any deep fried ice cream but I like deep fried pickles. Stay safe and healthy.

  4. Cute pictures of you and your family. I would bet they bring back great memories. Sounds like those two grandsons are keeping you two busy spoiling them. It also sounds like you are loving it. I have had deep fried ice cream, it is Rachel's favorite, but I have never made it so I will be looking forward to how yours turns out. Take care. Hugs
