Happy 21st Birthday Chloe! A quieter Halloween, Yearly Dr. visit for me, Sitting at the Subaru Dealer

 I can't believe we've only been home from Arkansas a week. It seems a lot longer. WE got home last Wednesday afternoon and then had happy hour with Karen and the furry grandkids. :) They were all happy to see us. 

I forgot to post a few pics last week so...
Ken, Dana, Sweetpea and Don. Ken getting ready to leave TN.

Bryan and my beautiful sister Wendy! 💗
She's loving living in Arkansas 


Thursday we headed for Total Wine in Reno and then to Walmart for grocery shopping for the weekend. 

Friday evening Mason and Chloe got here and we barbecued some hot links that Karen gifted us :) She came over as well and we had a nice evening catching up with the kids. 

Saturday after breakfast I got started on cooking for the Halloween party next door. I made a huge batch of white chicken chili. Probably too much chicken but it turned out delicious. Karen made a batch of red chili which was delicious as well. I did a million dollar dip and deviled eggs too. 

Later in the afternoon we headed over. John was able to come home so that was nice. A smaller party than normal, but nice as we were able to talk with people rather than being so spread out! 

Mason and Chloe all decked out for Halloween 

Mason played a couple of songs on his guitar. He's 
self taught and awesome! 


Mason showing Papa how it's done! 

John too! 

Mason and Chloe carved a few pumpkins! 


We called it a night about 2300. 

I had a few pics of Chloe and Mason that I took with her camera and she sent to me but they won't download. Same for pics of Ken and me. 

Sunday morning after breakfast the kids headed for home. So happy they came out! :) Later in the afternoon we took a nap LOL. Guess the week and Halloween caught up with us! 

Had a short Happy Hour and then just enjoyed the evening with a nice fire in the outdoor kitchen! :) 

Monday I ran to the lab in town to get my yearly labs done. I went Friday morning but they were closed for Nevada Day. 

Monday was a day of cleaning out stuff that's not used anymore in one bedroom. Ken spent a lot of the day splitting wood and some other things. 

Tuesday I headed for Wellington to see my PA Danny. I had one of the best visits ever. Cholesterol down 28 points that put me in the good category. Sodium level up a few points but they were dangerously low last year. All the other tests were normal, and I even lost 3 pounds YAY. How, I have no idea, because we haven't been good the last month or more. LOL.

This morning Wednesday we are sitting at the Subaru Dealer getting something called the "Auto Butler" put on the car. It's some kind of protectant for the paint. It's supposed to make bugs, grime, sap come off easier. We'll see. 

Ken was told over the phone it'd take about an hour, now it's 2 hours. We would have brought 2 cars if we'd have known that. 

Nevada DMV has implemented an online only appointment system for Yerington. Been trying for two days to get an appointment for our REAL ID as our licenses expire next month. Well, what a joke this online appts is. On the way home we'll stop by and hopefully a person can help us!! You can only make appointments for the next day, but the calendar doesn't light up. UHHHHHH!!! 

Today is a special little lady's birthday! Happy Birthday Chloe! She turns the big 21!! Sounds like she'll be celebrating the rest of the week! Love you sweetie!

One of our most favorite couples! Love you both! 💕

On with waiting for the car. It's a rainy day here in Carson City and cool. 

Have a great day!
