Last Friday morning I left home to meet up with Russell and Lori for a late breakfast/brunch at the Donner Lake Kitchen. The plan was for 1100. Russell and Lori got there early and I was on a good schedule to get there early until road construction on I 80 right before the turnoff. I still made it pretty much on time. We enjoyed a good breakfast and a good drink with it. Russell and Lori were on their way to North Shore Lake Tahoe to meet up with friends for the weekend and to celebrate his 46th birthday. 😱 How is my baby 46??!!!

I headed down the hill to stay at Russell and Lori's house for the weekend. Ken took his truck and trailer and headed for our friend KC's house to get a huge load of firewood for the winter.
I stopped at Walmart for a little shopping and ended up at Russell's nearing 1600. I made some enchiladas and coleslaw for dinner. Kenna got there later and enjoyed some too. Strawberries, whipped cream and pound cake for dessert.
Saturday morning after french toast, eggs and bacon for Aaron and Kenna, Ken left and I headed out. Had some shopping to do and then visited with my sister Linda and then to Grandma's. Before you know it the day was done!

I tried to wait up for Aaron but by 2200 I was done. LOL.
Sunday morning I ran to Raley's before Aaron got up. Breakfast sandwiches were on the menu. Little Cassidy, our great niece was having her 6th birthday party so headed over there around 1100. A great afternoon was had by all.

Allissa came back to Russell's and we ordered door dash and mexican food. Aaron got home nearing 2200 and we were up until near 1230. Late night.
Monday morning we planned on pancakes, bacon and eggs for breakfast. Allissa was a little late but that's just fine! I left for home about 1130. It seemed like an long ride home but that's the way it goes sometimes.
We've been home other than a trip to Raley's in town. Hot!
I marinated some chicken and veggies for dinner tonight so this morning we decided on Champagne Thursday (or as it's called Thirsty Thursday). Made some individual pizzas on low carb tortilla shells and then I cooked up a mess of dinner. It will be yummy I'm thinking.

Been looking online for a house in Arkansas for my sister Wendy when she retires next year. Bryan and Cheryl went and looked at one today, which just may be it. :) It's only about 5 miles from where they live which would be perfect! We shall see! :)

Happy Birthday Russel! My daughter turned 49 this year and I am positive someone mixed up the birth dates! haha
ReplyDeleteGood times and good food in those pictures. I don't know how I'd cook those pizzas with no oven....but on tortillas, I'd be willing to try. :) Yum.
That ship is huge, Jacob must be so proud!
Thank you! You could cook them in a fry pan, put lid on and cook slowly. We are so proud of Jacob and all the crew on that ship! :)
