Ken's MRI, We're in Amargosa Valley tonight!

Tuesday morning we set the alarm so we could be sure to be up and going. I had no problem with that as I had been up way before.  Had our coffee and treats while we checked in with our blogging friends.  We left the house before nine as we were headed for Big 5.  I needed a new pair of tennis shoes so we headed there first.  I found some I really liked.  It's funny because I will certainly spend on the grandkids (or when our kids were young) but I hate spending on me.  Found a pair I liked and bit the bullet for $29.99..ahhh.. on to Walmart..I did a little grocery shopping and then looked at their shoes.  Found a pair for $8.98 and thought what the heck..and then a pair of sandals for $1.00..OK those are mine!! Real sandals, not flip flops.  

We headed over for Ken's MRI, got him signed in and to the right area. They took him real quick and after awhile he was out.  He said the head technician asked about his shoulder, Ken explained what was going on and he said "Your shoulder is really jacked up!"  Good to know hahah. He told Ken he's doing the right thing! 

We left there and headed to CVI to see our favorite waitress, Carmen so she wouldn't worry when we're not there for a month or so. She is a sweetie and she was glad we came in.  We also saw the server that brings us ice (because we order alcohol). I had a little Christmas card for her because she has the sweetest smile :) But wouldn't you know it, couldn't find the card so she actually came out better :) 

After linner we headed home and then we loaded up stuff for Karen and went next door for a few minutes to drop the stuff off.  Nice visit and then home. Her daughter, Amber had emergency gall bladder surgery so she's there for a few days.  We visited a few minutes with her. 

Had a nice evening at home and then it was time to hit the hay!

Yesterday I wanted some radish hash browns.  they were yummy!

Ken's plate...scrambled eggs with peppers and some hash browns.
Today I mixed the hash browns with my egg beaters..even better!

Good night Yerington, NV!

Love this little shed in Luning, NV

The old jail cell next to the shed! 

Set the alarm for 0430 this am as we so we could finish up the things we needed to do.  We left home about 1000 and stopped next door as Karen had fresh chicken eggs for us.  Hit the road at 1030.  I know that sounds late but we knew where we wanted to end up and not like there's lots to do once we got there.  
Had a beautiful drive down highway 95 and we are now parked at Armagosa Valley Rest Area for the night.  Watched a movie that wasn't bad and now another while I write the blog.  This one sucks, which is why I'm blogging haha.

Mountains on highway 395 near Bishop, CA...love them!

Good night from our home tonight!

A final good night!

I would say Happy Hour but it's been the last couple of hours. I think I'm heading for bed! 

A little of this and a little of that...

Good Sunday morning everyone!  I don't know where the time goes, guess because we're home it's just not too exciting which is a good thing I guess.

Thursday morning we did run to Gardnerville and Walmart.  I needed some ink for the printer.  I usually will order it online but I didn't want to wait. haha. Well, I swear you can buy a new printer that comes with ink for about the same price as the two cartridges of ink!  Oh well, bit the bullet and then picked up a few groceries and left a large donation of $$ at Walmart. 

Our drive to Gardnerville, NV.

We ended up at Carson Valley Inn for lunch. (You know that had to happen).  Our favorite waitress Carmen saw us and big hugs and welcome back for us both. We sat and she brought us our wine and beer straight away.  :)  Enjoyed our lunch and we headed home.  I had a little nap on the way.  We got home and put the stuff away and not much happened the rest of the day. No dinner needed after that lunch.  

Friday morning I texted our neighbor Joe for Ken asking if he wanted to do breakfast at Dini's.  A few minutes later Joe showed up and the boys went out.  I enjoyed my quiet time for a bit here at home. Later Joe's brother Phil came into town for the weekend and they chatted away the afternoon.  About 1600 or so the party moved to our driveway for awhile.  I cut up some cheese and crackers and brought them out and we all visited for a few hours. 

Ken had talked with our other neighbors Karen and John so we loaded up a little ice chest for drinks and headed next door for a big fire in their fire pit. Well, a little while turned into hours and we headed home about midnight! :)) They're so easy to talk to and it was fun catching up.  We are really blessed to have such great neighbors on each side.  

Saturday morning we got up about 0630.  We were meeting Joe, Stacey, Rylee, Phil, Susan (Stacey's mom) and her friend Patty who was visiting for a few days at Dini's for a wonderful breakfast.  Patty is quite the traveler and very nice. We enjoyed talking with her and Susan.  Thank you Susan for breakfast :))

We came home and pretty much that was it for the day.  Got a couple of little things accomplished and then an afternoon nap was in order for the two of us! We never do that, but Saturday night was hard on us both..haha.  A dinner of leftover turkey meatloaf (that was awesome by the way), salad and some mixed beans.  

These were  brussel sprout chips..don't bother
too much work and just not worth it..not bad, but not good. Kale chips are better. 

Good night! 

Our neighbor Mugsy came to visit! He's a little ratty as the
groomer in town calls him "the dog from hell" and won't
groom him anymore..

Sunday morning, I woke up about 0400 and Ken at 0500 so now just deciding what to do with our day.  We're going to town later to take a look at Izzy's (Karen's mom) house and to see how the renovation is coming. I suggested a quad ride so hopefully that'll happen this afternoon.  A beautiful Sunday, supposed to be close to 70 but the temps will drop dramatically over night. 

Good morning! :)

We've got a little wind this am..but about 50 degrees..

Good morning! 

Looks like all of our Canadian friends have made it over the border and are back in their home country.  Doesn't look like nice weather has greeted them yet, but it'll be coming soon!  Looking forward to their updates as always! 

My Grand Nephew Owen got a new swing set at his grandparents
house..Looks like he's enjoying!

Take care and have a wonderful Sunday! :)
