Monday morning after breakfast the kids took the Can AM out for a bit. They loved it. Ken took the truck to Reno and picked up the Mansion. Now we can go! I ran to Raleys for a few things and then it was just an easy day. Ken barbecued chicken which was awesome! Erin took the Can Am out and Adam took the 400. They were gone for quite a while and enjoyed the ride! I got stuff for beer margaritas thinking Erin would like them and she did. Ken even had one! Haven't made them in over a year I'm thinking. They were so good, Thanks Deb!
Tuesday morning after breakfast it was time for the kids to head home :( It was wonderful they were here for two nights! They left around 0900 and were home around 1300. Adam was starting a new job for CA State Parks at Coloma on Wednesday.
Was a very LAZY day for me. We had taken the kids to Dini's for breakfast. Once we got home Ken laid on the bed and stayed there for quite awhile haha. I was on the couch in the living room and had a nice day. I read, relaxed and enjoyed. Haven't done that for a long time!! Once in a while it catches up to you I'm thinking! Leftovers for dinner. There are no pictures of the kids riding..as my battery is dead and Ken is in bed...batteries are in the garage...tomorrow!
Wednesday was another day at home. Ken worked outside for quite awhile getting things done! He moved the toy hauler to its home. He replaced the vent in the toy hauler.I baked some things as we were out of treats for our coffee..oh no! haha.
Thursday morning we headed out about 0730. Dropped off my tire at Discount Tire in Carson City to be fixed. ( NO Charge).. Then we headed to Carmichael, CA and Garcia's to have a 1300 lunch with Jacob. We got there about 1245...perfect. We headed to the patio, as that's all CA allows right now. Our favorite, Chris was our server..YES!! Small patio area, but he made it work for the 6 of us! He brought us a glass of wine and a beer while we waited for the kids to arrive.

| Hugging my grandson goodbye for 3 years! Hoping to get over to visit him! My heart 💙 |
It was an awesome lunch and company! Out in the parking lot, hugs happened. I can't believe we have a grandson headed to Italy for 3 years and in the Navy and he's only 18! We have Seth in the Marines..what happened to these little boys!? We are so proud of the choices they have made. My heart hurts for Russell and Lori, they are so proud but I can't imagine tomorrow as they put Jacob on the plane for Italy...I told Lori today..what I feel as a grandparent..but as a parent..💗💙 tomorrow will be tough for them, Allissa and Jacob. 💗😔

| We are so proud of you Jacob! |
We left them and drove home. Ken took us on Highway 267 which took us through North Lake Tahoe for a change. What a beautiful drive!

| Truckee, CA.they require outside dining and boy do they have a lot of it! |
We are headed to Washoe Valley to pick up some firewood tomorrow morning! Have a great rest of the evening..time for bed!
Italy for three years? Lucky guy and lucky you. Surely you will get to visit before he comes back! I love that Truckee cordoned off the dining area. Our little town in California closed off half the street so Granny's Pantry could stay open!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on visiting sometime! I have cousins in Austria so will include that too! Gotta love the name Granny's Pantry :) Truckee is such a cute town, so busy for during the week, can't imagine a weekend!
DeleteThat's awesome that you got to see Jacob one more time. I can't believe how easily you and Ken drive over the hill. I don't even go to Target anymore cuz it's over past the water channel..lol. I look like you when I stand next to Cruz. Coloma??? How wonderful. We love that area. Great blog.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Elva! One reason we moved here from our property we had in Winnemucca was so we could easily do a one day turnaround just for things like this. We're so used to it after 7 1/2 years here. Adam was working Auburn area and decided to try Coloma :)
DeleteTo Jacob it will be an adventure but to you it will be Empty Nest Syndrome. Glad you had the chance to visit before he shipped out.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
What a moment of bittersweet, saying congrats and good luck to Jacob but saying goodbye for 3 years as well. What an awesome experience though for him and blessings for the long distance relationship. It will be tough but they can do it! The opportunity for you to visit Italy is awesome!
