Armed Forces Day in Hawthorne, Champagne Sunday. Life is so good!

 We went to Ken's lung doctor's appointment this week. He had him do a echocardiogram so we'll see. Hopefully all is good! We go back on the 31st. 

Yesterday we headed for Hawthorne, NV for Armed Forces Day. They always have a wonderful parade! We got there around 1100 and walked to the American Legion. Ken had a bloody mary and I had a gin and club soda  to start the day. LOL. It was going to be gin and orange juice, but just didn't feel it LOL. 

The parade started just about 1200. Awesome! So much patriotism in that little town! Really makes my heart swell! 

Hawthorne's flag after the parade! Almost the biggest flag 
in Nevada. Camping World in Reno has the biggest one. This
one is still my favorite! 


Bloody Mary and Gin and Seltzer..Bartender did good! 

I love this little place, All Patriots Welcome!

I love this parade every year!


At the end of the parade their flag is carried, amazing site to
see! Then they put it bag up in it's rightful place 💗

Gets me every time!



We stopped to see a couple of helicopters...





Once the parade was done we headed towards Walker Lake just a few miles outside of there. I had made tuna sandwiches before we left home. So yummy! 

Our view for lunch 

We enjoyed our spot and then we headed home. John and Karen got home about an hour later so eventually we went next door to get caught up on things. Sure the puppies are glad to have mom and dad home :)



Today, being Sunday we took our time and went outside to the kitchen. Champagne Sunday  you know. I cooked some bacon and sausage on the griddle. Again, I love this thing! Ken cooked a Conder Ranch steak for dinner and I did some veggies too. We enjoyed our brunch out there and then decided it was time to come inside and get some things done. LOL. I walked in and found Ken taking a little nap LOL. I came to the living room and ended up with a nap myself. Something we never do! What the heck, it's Sunday right?! 





Hubby enjoying some well deserved down time! 


Now it's nearing 1600 and there's some cloud cover, but it's warm. Ken got the stock tank filled a few days ago and no leaks! YaY! Hoping it warms soon for some stock tank sitting! LOL. 

We are both thankful for this life we're living! We are so blessed! 

Have a great evening! Getting close to Happy Hour LOL.
