Bryan and friends visit :) St. Patrick's Day, A nice gift from the neighbors, more pics of Aaron playing football :) First day of Kindergarten

 

                                                 Jake, Jonathon, Bryan and Ken 💙💙

Sunday about 1400 Bryan, Jonathon and Jake got here for two nights.  Ken showed them around while I made sandwiches for everyone. 

We enjoyed visiting and then they unloaded their dirt bikes and we got the Can Am out of the garage.  All four "boys" headed out for a nice ride at the BLM.

Jonathon, Jake and Ken. Two nice bikes too!

  One more ride before the night was over.  Bryan and Jonathon.

Once they were back Ken made a nice fire in the pit and we enjoyed conversation until way late!  Karen came over and visited with us too. 

I had made enchiladas, coleslaw and spanish rice. Jake was the only one who ate at a normal hour :) 

Monday morning once everyone was up and about I made breakfast. Bryan had wanted biscuits and gravy so that's what he got.  Jake wanted pancakes and there was some eggs made too.  

Papa burgers

Snow on Monday morning


More chit chat and riding that day.  It was a lot colder than on Sunday. Karen came over to visit and that evening we went to her house so the boys could play a game she has set up over there.  While she and I were visiting on the deck it started snowing!  Before getting too wet we all headed back to our house where it continued to snow.  Eventually we sent Karen home with a Papa burger and fries.  

The garage seemed to be the place for hanging out.  Ken and I went to bed about 2300 leaving the others out there.  

Tuesday, before they left we all took a ride out.  I rode with Bryan and Ken took the 700.  We spent about an hour out there.  Time for them to load up and head back to California.  It was around 1300 when we said our goodbyes. 

Just enjoying the BLM..
Jake..




All packed up and ready to head out! Come back soon! 💙

The door is always open, so we'll hope they come back soon when the weather warms up! 

After they left Ken and I became couch potatoes for the rest of the day.  LOL. 

Wednesday morning Ken went to breakfast with Joe and I got to work on a St. Patricks Day dish, Colcannon.  It's a mashed potato dish with cabbage and green onions. We were heading to Izzie's house about 1200 for a get together. 

We got to Izzie's just a few minutes after 12 and had a great visit for a couple of hours.

Upon leaving there we headed to Susan's (Joe's mother in law) to see her new to her motorhome.   Very nice, and they'll be heading to Alaska and their new lives there in the next couple e of months! 

We were just relaxing after we got home when we got a picture of a fire next door. Got our things and headed over for a couple of hours.  A very social day :) 

Adam called while we were there and possibly he and Erin will be coming on Sunday for two nights. 

Been up since 0300 so figured I'd get this started.  Time to wake up Ken as we're heading to Walmart and Raley's in Gardnerville today.  Supposed to be 67 so I intend to enjoy it before the next storm later this week. 

Some pics from Aaron's game last week..he's #41. 





Had a good trip to Walmart for some groceries. Ken ran to Raley's for prescriptions while I did the shopping.  We made it back home in time for lunch.  Joe came by to pick up his dredge we've had out back. Looks like he and Susan will be over in the am for breakfast 😋

John came over and brought two really nice solar lights he bought for us.  One for the pole by the gate to their place and one anywhere we want. Ken's out putting it on the post before you come up to the front door. Very nice of them 😊  Now it's Happy Hour time! 

Last but certainly not least our great nephew, Owen finally got his FIRST day of Kindergarten today. 2 days a week he'll go the rest is Zoom as it's been all year. Why 2 days is ok but not 5?? Who knows! He was happy to be going! 

                                            He's styling is he not?!

  5. Okay I am tired and all I did was read the blog...lol Sounds like you have been keeping busy, out of trouble and having fun. Great pictures of everything. Looks like a fun St. Patty's Day; how much fun that they go all out like that. Cute little Leprechaun.
    What a cute styling kindergartener the good news is he finally gets to go to school in person and interact with other kids at least two days a week. Not sure what kids are actually learning on Zoom especially the little ones. Plus, they are missing out on making friends. It is probably best I end here...stay safe...❤
