Yerington 250, Mostly home, Eric and family in San Diego

Nephew Jesse (left) met Grandson Jacob in Brussels for a few days. He sent this 
picture and a few others to meπŸ’™

Another week gone! We did make the trip to Reno for mammogram time. Total Wine stop too of course, since we were there. Walmart and then linner. By the time we were done, so was the day and we headed home. 

The rest of the week we were home, other than a trip to town for whatever. Just nothing too exciting to write about, which is a good thing. 

Friday we headed to town to take a look at some of the trucks and utvs that were in town for the Yerington 250. We were kind of early so there were only a few, but that's ok. We've seen them before. 




Had a nice fire in the outdoor kitchen and enjoyed the evening. 



Saturday morning after a light breakfast we climbed in the CanAm and headed up the BLM to a spot we've been several times and got seated to watch the Yerington 250.  

After a bit Ken pulled out the champagne and a red beer for him and we enjoyed our adult beverages watching the race. After awhile our friends Joel and Randi along with some others found us there. We spent a good couple of hours enjoying. 

It was nice to get the Can Am out, even if for a short ride
Better weather's coming so hopefully in the next few weeks
a trip out to Sand Mountain, NV! πŸ˜€





You could see the dust from the vehicles on our way out.


When we left, we stopped by home and got the truck and headed to Joel and Randi's property about three miles from our house. Visited for a bit with everyone and then came home. Honestly, I've got to learn to take food with me as I had way too good of time. Oh well, it was fun. Looking in the mirror, both Ken and I look like raccoons. The sun was strong. I bought sun screen today! LOL. 

We got home and Ken headed next door, but I went to bed LOL. 

Sunday we got up and enjoyed the morning. We headed out to the kitchen as Ken was going to barbecue Papa Burgers again. I had cut up some potatoes to make fries on the grill. Champagne Sunday of course. We had our lunch out there about 1300. Enjoyed the weather and I actually had shorts on. No signs of Brutus (the lizard) yet. Hoping these sonic plug in things keep him away, but we'll see. 

Later in the afternoon we headed to John and Karen's for a bit. 

This morning we got up and going as we were heading for Carson City. Ken's phone has been messing up, won't let him add apps etc. Luckily the young man that greeted us figured it out and all is good in Ken's phone world again. 

Then a trip to Walmart of course. A stop at Betsy's for linner and home nearing 1530. Windy and a lot cooler here today. Amazing how the temps vary. By the weekend it should be alot nicer. 

Looks like we'll be home the rest of the week. 😊


Eric and Christina at Mission Beach, San Diego. Eric, Chris and
Mason made a trip to visit Seth and Holly for a long Easter 
weekend. Looks like they had a great time πŸ’—

While there they all visited this Memorial..very moving I'm sure.

  3. All the family pictures were wonderful to look at. We have been enjoying some nice warm days here but looking ahead I will be back in a long sleeves as we head north. Our last official day in the southwest tomorrow and I think we will take a page from your book and enjoy some Mimosas. Hugs.

    1. Yes I wore shorts for several hours! Not yesterday or today though! Champagne is nice, a bad habit but tastes so good! Nope, we have cold weather today, but no snow I'm glad to say!

  7. What a great vantage point from which to view the race. Yes food is the great equalizer. LOL. I love the outdoor kitchen and the fireplace.
