| Adam and Erin 💗 |
Thursday August 21st had a great video chat with Jacob and Allissa. She actually took us on tour of their cute little apartment and outside area. Ken said I need to get better at this, as they were looking at the back of my couch most of the time 😂😂 I could see them and that's all that really matters. 💖
The weekend of the 22nd of August Adam and Erin came to visit for a few days. They left on Monday the 25th as Erin had to be back to work on Tuesday. Adam still had a few days off as he had been in southern CA for 2 weeks for the Gifford Fire.

| Adam and Erin headed out for home in CA. |
 |
| I love the outdoor kitchen all lit up |
 |
| Love our sunsets when there's clouds in the sky! |
We made a trip on Wednesday for my 6 month ophthalmology appointment. All good, 20/20 vision and glaucoma pressure at 16 and 18! Yay! I don't have to go back for a year now. While in Reno a necessary trip to Total Wine was had! :)
Thursday was another return trip to Reno to pick up the CanAM. They had to order a part for one of headlights that was out so it was in the shop longer than expected. We got it picked up and then a trip to Lowe's for a few things.
Saturday morning, the 30th we headed over the hill to Rio Linda to pick up 30 lbs of hamburger we bought from our friends KC and Sierra. The Conder Ranch raises some great beef! They weren't home but we got it from the freezer and called our friends, Joe and Rachel. They only live a few blocks from the Conders so we headed over there for a quick visit.
So nice to see them again and their lovely place. KC and Sierra came by so it was a great visit. Actually we followed KC to their property as we couldn't find it! LOL We got to meet Joe and Rachel's daughter Corinna (not sure of spelling) and she's just an adorable 20 year old. 😊
A mimosa later and we had to head out to Antelope. Thank you Rachel! 🥂💖and Joe for your hospitality! Hope to see you soon!
Russell and Lori weren't home yet so we got some quality time with Grandson, Aaron for a couple of hours. He'll be checking into his apartment at UCSB on the 19th of September. He should be home for Thanksgiving 🤞
Russell and Lori got home a little after 1700 and then followed Mike and Mel and then her parents. John and Andrea too. Russell did smash burgers on the griddle and they were amazing. We got to see their outdoor kitchen and the new cover on their patio. Pictures to follow when they get their furniture. They did an amazing job on both! After a too late night and adult beverages we hit the sack. Russell and I were last ones to go in. 💖
 |
| Time for some delicious smash burgers OH YEAH! |
 |
| The grilled onions are what do it for me! |
After a great night we got up on Sunday and visited for awhile. At 1030 we headed for Auburn and Old Town Pizza. We were meeting for an early lunch. Aaron couldn't come as he had a Fantasy Football meeting with friends. Said our heartfelt goodbyes just in case we don't see him before he leaves. Hopefully we can get over one more time! 😪 Yeah grandma tears up, but so proud of him!
We had a good group of 14 I believe to start and then John and his sister in law stopped by too. 😊 Diane brought Ken's mom up so that was a very special addition. 💗
 |
| Lori and Mel..it was Mel's 41st Birthday! |
 |
| Love this pic of John and his sis in law, Justine. She recently had a stroke but is doing amazing! So glad we got to meet her! |
 |
| A gentleman from another table offered to take our pic. So, grandma (she'll be 98 in December), me, Ken, Mason, Chloe, Seth, Michael, Russell, Lori, Mel, Eric, Jesse, John, Justine and Diane. So glad they all turned out! 💗💗 |
1100 turned into 1400 before we said our goodbyes. A wonderful afternoon!
 |
| Loved this pic of Grand nephew Owen enjoying the deck of their new stock tank! |
We got home about 1730 and then headed next door for Happy Hour with John and Karen. 😁 🍻🍷
This morning we joined them and Karen's mom Izzie for breakfast in town which was awesome. Came home and now I'm having a mimosa getting this done! LOL!
Hopefully tomorrow Ken will get the last four rows done in the outdoor kitchen. 💗 He had to buy a new diamond blade for his tile saw as it gave up the other day. He's had it for many years, so it's understandable. So, lets get er done! haha.
Just enjoying this Labor Day not doing much, me not Ken. He's always doing something!
Sitting here reflecting on the weekend. How blessed we are to have the family we have and our extended family. We feel very fortunate that they all came out to OTP to see and spend time with us. The night at Russell and Lori's was amazing too. Our friends who were happy to see us made it special too. Nothing better than family and great friends 💕💕 How could our life be any better! 💖
Have a wonderful rest of the day!
