Happy Birthday Seth! Veterans Day Parade, Sunday plans

 Happy Sunday! I can't believe once again where the time has gone! 

Wednesday was our grandson Seth's 20th Birthday! I got to talk with him for a bit that evening as he and Holly were on their way home from dinner.  At home they were going to celebrate with friends the Marine Corps 246th Birthday! Very proud of this young man! 💙

Happy Birthday Seth!! 

Every November 10th Russell and a few Marine Corps Veterans get together to
celebrate at Old Town Pizza! 💙
That's our son, on the right in front with a mustache..💖

                                              Cutting the cake with a sabre! 

That evening grandson Adam came to spend the night.  He was starting a 10 day or so vacation to Utah and around. Nice to talk with him and have us be his first stop.  

Thursday morning was Veterans Day and we really had no plans until Ken said "You want to go to Virginia City and watch the Veteran's Day Parade?" Sure! 

We got ourselves ready and Adam was ready to leave too! Sent him off with a care package of sandwiches and other goodies.  

Enjoy the journey Adam! 
We got to Virginia City around 1030 (parade started at 1100) and couldn't believe all the people there! Really nice to see the support for America's Heroes! Found ourselves a spot and enjoyed the patriotism 💙💖

Navy ROTC ...we were surprised at the numbers
of young people involved in this along with
other branches! 

I wonder how many will join the 
military once high school is over?






Raising these little right. Their shirts said "Honoring
those who served".  Their grandpa was a Marine..






We will be back next year! 

Once the parade was over nearing 1300 we decided to walk up to the bar and grill we liked so much last time we were there! It was packed outside with people eating lunch in the great weather.  We went inside and found our same bar stools open LOL.  Ordered our drinks and chatted with the bartender.  Once we were ready to leave we had made the decision to drive home, rather than go out to eat.  

One more and done...😀

Ken started the barbecue and got the fire pit ready for a fire later.  Turkey burger for me and hot links for him.  We have discovered the 1 carb hamburger buns and hot dog buns, so no guilt at having bread 😀


We had a nice dinner (it was about 1600) and then a little later a wonderful fire! Karen came over once she got home so a nice visit was had there too. 





Friday and Saturday were both cooking days for me. Baking on Friday and cooking along with getting things together for Sunday. Ken worked on firewood and cleaning up out back. Since he's moved his firewood area he can clean up his old area which is near our RV Park..LOL. 

Tacos for dinner and a fire out back. Perfect! 

We'll be heading next door about 1200 today. Karen, her mom and Janey (her mom's friend) are coming over to a cooking demonstration on how to make cauliflower pizza and cabbage lasagna. They all love it and want to learn to make it.  That's what I did yesterday was get together the stuff so today would be simple. The hardest part will be the crust, getting it right..Should be fun! 

Veggies cooked to release the juices so the lasagna
won't be runny..

Just heard from Adam he's outside Bryce Canyon heading for Grand Staircase and Coral Reef.  Having a great time he said! 

Stole these from FB...Looks like Jacob and Allissa are having a wonderful time together! 💖💖




Time to get going! Have a wonderful day!
