Dog sitting for a few days..working on the fence..couple of trips to the big cities..few convoy pictures :)

 Happy Friday! I actually started this yesterday so rather than erase what I wrote I'll just work backwards LOL. 

This morning we were up by 0600 reading blogs and having coffee. Once we got going Ken headed next door to move the trailer that Karen bought from our neighbor that passed away. They'll use it as a guest room once they get it cleaned up. Ken moved it to one of their RV spots for now. Then he did a favor that John had asked him to do and now I see he's pulled the log splitter over there to cut some of their wood to a smaller size. We'll be back over there in a bit for another happy hour with Karen's "hairy children" LOL.  No work today on the fencing, but tomorrow it'll happen 😊

It was actually a warm afternoon, close to 70 so after lunch I got my hula hoe out and took care of some of the weeds just popping up..oh, and I know spring is here, saw my first lizard of the year 😱 YUK!

March 17th..

We left here yesterday (Thursday) around 1100 hrs and headed for Gardnerville to get the groceries we didn't on Wednesday.  While I shopped Ken ran to Raley's and picked up prescriptions. Once we finished shopping we headed to Sharkey's Casino and Restaurant for a late lunch.  Yes we certainly enjoyed! Ken had the fish tacos that he loves there! They are a great place to eat! Lots of people seem to enjoy gambling there as well.  We don't gamble thank goodness 😁

After filling our tummies we headed home. Groceries put away, then it was time to head next door for happy hour with the pups! We had a nice couple of hours and a nice fire outside.  Perfect night! 

A nice fire at the John and Karen's while we enjoy
Happy Hour with Mugsy and Lila 💙🐕

Happy St Patrick's Day! Hard to believe it's the 17th of March already! Kind of a dreary cloud covered day here. 42 degrees here at 1000. 

Most of the week we've been home and Ken's been working on the dog area.  It's coming along nicely. 

Low Carb morning treats..butterscotch cookies, morning glory muffins and 
zucchini chocolate muffins..all so yummy! 

I never tire of this view out my kitchen window..John's 10x15 foot flag flying!


Our smaller but beautiful flag flying!

Fence is on the ground..it will go in front of 5th wheel (which doesn't 
move, it's for guests). I really want this project finished! 😀 Then he has a one day project to hook the cab over up to the septic system.
                    Then he can start my outdoor kitchen 😁😂

Wednesday it was time to head for Carson City and spend some money. We started at Tractor Supply where we bought 3 gates. Then on to Midtown Marketplace as we wanted to find something for Karen's birthday at the end of the month.We found that and more LOL.  It's definitely going to be one of my go to places! Wonderful people and all kinds of things to choose from, homemade gifts to antiques. I enjoyed spending some money there! 

2- 10 foot gates and one 4 foot gate

Then we headed to Lowe's to pick up a couple of 4x4's and a pair of work gloves for Ken.  Glad we're not building a house! 4x4x10 were $29.00 a piece. Geez! 

We had planned on heading to Gardnerville to pick up prescriptions, Walmart and linner.  Well we were pushing 1300 hrs so decided to head for Betsy's Big Kitchen and do Walmart and Raley's on Thursday.  Ken's hankering for some fish tacos so we'll time shopping and another linner then. 

Looks like Eric made a friend while
they were in Vegas last weekend 😂



Karen stopped by this morning as she's headed to Monterey to visit with her hubby John for a few days so we're on doggy sitting duty for a week or so. 😊🐕

Now for a few convoy pictures.  They're still standing strong in Hagerstown MD.  Several of the trucks and lots of cars actually made it into downtown DC today. 






One of the smallest patriots signing the flag!😍


Happy Hour! Time to get this finished and get ready to enjoy this beautiful evening 🍷🍺 

We've been here 9 years already on March 13th..hard to believe. 💙

  1. Thank you for the convoy pictures. I saw on Rumble that they weren't letting the trucks in DC but four managed to get through. They are peaceful.

    1. You are very welcome Becky! Yesterday I saw they had more than four trucks and tons of cars :) Police actually escorted them through downtown and even for a break. People were yelling out their support for them, nice to see!

  4. For an outdoor girl, I can't believe you don't like your friendly garden helper, the lizard.😕 Sounds as if you keep Ken busy doing projects and keeping him out of trouble.😀 Glad your weather is warming up.

  7. The ones out the kitchen window are Farmall Cub 1947 and the other Allis Chalmers 1936 :) They both ran when we parked them..now? We have a couple of steel shell too that are older.
