Winnemucca, back home, off to Sacramento today.

 Good morning! We're here in Yerington, NV and it's 31 degrees with a feels like 23. Guessing we've got wind blowing out there.  

I woke up at 0330 and after laying there a few minutes decided to turn on the heaters and get this blog done before we leave this morning. I love this time of the day when it's quiet and I can just be in my cozy bed, hubby sleeping and just enjoy the moments. 

Monday morning waking up in Winnemucca it was toasty in the Mansion as we had our beverages, Ken with his coffee and me with my hot water since I was fasting. I got my labs done and was out of there just a little after 0900. 

This was a beautiful sight. Snow on the mountains, but none on the ground. :) 
WE expected to see more RVers in the park. The least we have ever seen other than the permanent area has a lot of them. 

We headed over to Parker's Model T Restaurant and Casino for a yummy breakfast and way too much.  Both of us had doggie bags to go, a rarity for Ken. 

Ken's Chicken Fried Steak Skillet. Piled high with goodies! He took about1/2 home! 

My Denver Omelette filled with yummies! I don't eat the potatoes or toast (well I did have 1/2 slice just cuz it was loaded with butter haha.) I still took 1/2 home! 

Got  back to the park and around 1100 we were ready to head home. It was a wonderful 12 days out, but always nice to get home. 

Fallon, NV getting ready for their Christmas Tree Lighting in the old town square 💖

WE pulled into the driveway around 1400 and started the business of unloading. We didn't unload everything as we're leaving again on Wednesday morning. 

Around 1730 we were invited next door to John and Karen's as they had a fire going and we needed to catch up. 

We stayed way too long, got home around 2230. 

Tuesday morning Ken went to breakfast with our neighbor Joe, and I got started on appetizers for Russell's house and doing some general cleaning and laundry, lots of laundry lol.  

About 1530 I was done with everything, so Ken pointed out the Cabela's add, darn him! Found some Christmas presents and spent some more  $$. Amazon too. haha. 

 I forgot to mention that on the November 22, 1988 Ken decided to quit smoking. He hasn't had a cigarette in 32 years.  Because he puts $100.00 a month "smoking money" in an account every month I have $1200.00 a year to use for Christmas that isn't allowed to go anywhere else. Now that our family has grown, doesn't go as far as  it used to, but it sure makes a huge difference! Thank you sweetie! 

Was a nice quiet night and we just enjoyed being home. Spent a little time on the phone talking with Adam, Eric and Bryan in that order. Nice to catch up. 

Well, better get a move on. Alarm is set for 0500 so I've got a few minutes yet. We've got reservations at Cal Expo RV Park for 3 nights. Then back to Winnemucca. We'll be home Tuesday and can finally get the tree set up and get ready for Christmas 💕

Have a great day!
