Last Friday night we spent in Wendover, UT right at the Nevada border. There's lots of Casinos to stay in that town, but no place for parking a trailer. We ended up at the Motel 6 which was ok. Lots of parking for the trailer. 

We got started really early on Saturday so we could end up at home that afternoon. We got to Fallon, NV around 1300 and stopped at Stockman's for lunch. It was good, but the prices are so jacked up high we probably won't go back. 

Wendover Will greets everyone! 

Pulled into the driveway around 1430 and got some stuff unloaded. Then it was Happy Hour and since we hadn't seen the neighbors and Mugsy and Lila in awhile we headed over for the evening. 

We were home for Champagne Sunday and enjoyed the day. Not a lot got done, but that's ok. It was cool and rainy, such a change! Later in the evening Ken started a fire in the outdoor kitchen, because it was really needed! 

Champagne Sunday drinks 💙

Obviously a huge windstorm came through and destroyed 
an almost new EZ UP. Ken had in 5 gallon buckets filled with rocks
and other tie downs. Darn this wind!!

Sacramento Bee ran a full page ad NO!! 
Nevada does NOT need anymore people! LOL.

Monday was a trip to Gardnerville for some serious grocery shopping LOL. 

Yesterday morning we left here about 0615 to head for Sacramento and some visiting. Ken's brother Don is here visiting from Tennessee for the week. 

We had a nice couple of hour visit with him along with friends Jim and his brother Brian. Jim and Ken went to high school together and Don and Brian were best friends then too. Brian lives in Idaho and corresponded his trip during the time that Don is here 💙 I can't think of the last time we've seen Brian probably a good 30 years, or even more. Jim, we actually saw last September out at our house. Always nice to visit.

We left there and headed over to Antelope, to pick up my car that grandson Aaron has been borrowing for a few months or so. He got a new to him one a few weeks ago. Picked it up, freshly washed and cleaned inside along with a full gas tank. Thanks Russell and Aaron! 💙

From there we drove up the hill to Carson City. We got a motel there as Ken had to be to the cardiology center for a stress test at 0645. Beats a one way 90 minute drive that we'll do tomorrow and Friday. Those appointments are later in the morning! 

We were home today by 1200 so we pulled out some leftovers and had lunch. Watched a movie and then we separated to our own chores. Mid eighties so it's really nice. 

It's official! Our son Bryan is officially retired from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office! Congratulations Son!! They've got a heat wave going on in Heber Springs, AR. Just checked temps and it's 98 feels like 112, a little cooler than the last couple of days LOL. Thank Goodness for air conditioning! 

Last but not least, Jesse sent me this picture the other day. Owen attended his first Oakland A's game with his dad and Uncle Jesse :)

Jesse, Dusty and Owen 💙

Going to get this posted as it's almost Happy Hour next door! Have a great evening!
