A wonderful weekend with family and friends.

 A fabulous Memorial Day weekend here in Yerington began on Friday afternoon when our son, Eric got here! He brought his Can Am RC to do some riding with the boys that were coming up. 😀

Eric brought me this and a few other goodies. 💕💕


We sat out in the outdoor kitchen area talking and catching up until Mason, Kody, Aiden and Koa arrived later in the evening. A simple dinner of baked chicken and store bought potato and macaroni salad was served. Then back outside the enjoy the late evening.

Saturday morning was breakfast and then around 1000 or so, Diane and Jesse arrived. The festivities continued. They all headed out on a couple of rides during the day. 

Bloody Marys for Ken and Eric, Mimosa for me 😋


1st breakfast was breakfast sandwiches, with egg,
sausage, cheese, bacon just because it's bacon LOL. 
                           hash brown patties too :) 

Biscuits and gravy too! 

Saturday afternoon our friends Matt and Eva came over to spend the night. Ken and Matt worked together for a bit before Ken retired.  Joel and Randi along with a couple of guys stopped by for a visit. 💙

I had a pic of the other two, but didn't turn out


Hamburgers, hot links and fries were served later. 😃 Grandson Seth arrived around 2100 as he had to work. Another late night but fun!

Kid Rock's song was playing on the radio! 💙

Sunday morning after breakfast everyone wanted to go out for a ride. Matt and Eva headed home. Nice that they came out! 

French toast, eggs, sausage bacon and hash browns


Eric was going home so he wanted to get one more in. I decided to tag along and ride with Eric. Those boys can ride!

Eric packed up and headed out. The boys took a rest and then headed out again! They did that a few times over the weekend!

Enchiladas and cole slaw was dinner that night. 

Monday morning after breakfast, the boys packed up and headed home. Sorry to see them go, as they are a pleasure to have! Hopefully they'll be back soon. Weather was perfect this weekend, but summer temps make it way too hot! 

Chocolate Chip Pancakes were on order along with 
eggs, sausage and bacon 

After they left I spent some time cleaning both kitchens haha. Diane and I visited for a few hours while I did that. Ken worked on burning tumbleweeds against the fence that borders John and Karen's property. 

Ken put a ham in the Pit Boss that turned out yummy for dinner. We sat outside until the sun set and then it had cooled off enough we had a nice fire inside the outdoor kitchen. John and Karen drove over for a bit and visited. 

This guy decided to visit last night

About 3 1/2  inches long! No longer exists! 

Our beautiful sunset last night!
Untouched photo! Thanks Jesse! 💙

This morning I cooked inside as it was only Diane and Jesse here for breakfast and they left about 0930. 

 Ken worked on more tumbleweeds, looking so much better now! I got sheets changed on all the beds. Ready for more company now! 😁😁

We've had 2 great weekends in a row. Erin's graduation and now Memorial weekend! So thankful for the the family and friends we have! 

Did you know May 23rd was drink with your chickens day?! I called Cheryl and Karen to tell them LOL. Got these pics off FB. 





Have a great night!!

    1. HI Linda! We haven't seen any snakes yet and I'm always on the look out! We do have a lot of gravel/rocks and they say they don't like that as it irritates their bellies. Hoping that's true LOL. Our neighbors, who have grass get more and they can stay there!
      It's so much fun to have family come out when they can, the food bill is worth it! LOL

  4. That is quite the gathering, and all that food looks delicious! The scorpions, not so much, those and Zoey would not go well together!
