A quick trip to CA to visit Grandma, water and electrical being worked on for the kitchen!

 Tuesday night we spent with the pups next door.  Wednesday morning we got  up, had our coffees and caught up on what our blogging friends were up to. 

Headed home and got ourselves ready for a drive.  I made a couple of low carb breakfast burritos for the drive so we could eat while on the road. Left here about 0800 and headed to Carmichael, CA for a visit with Ken's mom.

We called her to let her know we were coming over.   Got there just a few minutes after 1200.  Diane was there along with our oldest son, Bryan. 💕

Ken, Me, Bryan and Grandma front and center💗

After visiting for a few minutes inside we headed to the backyard where we heard of her upcoming plans for the place. Always something going on at Grandma's that's for sure. Keeps her young at 94. 💖

Ken, his sister Diane, Bryan and Grandma..💜

Because we were making this a one day turnaround we only stayed about 2 hours.  A little after 1400 we were on the road headed back home. We'll be back soon 💖

Bryan brought us this table, cast iron on the bottom, wood on top and you can make it as short or tall as you want, pretty cool! 😃

We stopped in Gardnerville at about 1630 and had an early dinner. Another coupon meal, so we got out of there for $22.00 + tip. One of the few places that serve grilled turkey burgers and they are so yummy! I was able to bring half mine home for lunch on Thursday. Ken had my left overs from Dini's on Mother's Day. 

Once we got home we headed next door to have happy hour with the pups. We were going home to spend the night, but Mugsy's little sad face got to me, so we ended up spending one last night. 💙🐕

Today we were up at 0515 and had our coffees and treats.  I stripped the bed and took the sheets home to wash them (Karen always says not to, but who wants to come home and work?!).  

We went back a little later and Ken did a little fence repair.  These winds have been horrible so the fences needed a little help. Put the freshly washed sheets back on the bed and did a few dishes. 

I headed into town to drop a return in the mail and stopped at Raley's quickly. Karen called and invited us to barbecue once they are home later today. 😊 We've texted and talked some but excited to hear the details of the trip. Sure there will be a couple of furry kids who'll be excited too! 

Ken's out working on the kitchen. Water is done and working properly. Now to put the electrical stuff in. He got the piping in and we pulled the wire as far as we can today. Luckily we had the wire left over from the bunk house so that's a saved expense. 

The way things seem to go nowadays, neither Tru Value or Lowe's had any 3/4"electrical conduit so we bought 3/4" water pipe. It's a schedule 20 as neither had schedule 40! Thanks Brandon! 😱😡 This will work just fine though. Was actually pretty easy to suck the white nylon rope through with the shop vac and then pull the electrical wire through. 😃

Time to head out back with a glass of wine and supervise a bit! Gotta keep that contractor working! Shoot, maybe I'll even take him a beer!🍺🍷 Have a great night!
