Gardnerville 2 days in a row..Karen's Birthday..Aaron's coming Friday!! :)
Monday morning (March 30th) we had the alarm set for 0500 just so we wouldn't oversleep. Our regular morning routine and after breakfast we headed out. Post office to mail the packages to the boys. The pink slip and key clicker was sent on its way to TN. Then we were off to Gardnerville and Walmart. Today was Karen's birthday so we wanted to find her a gift. Nothing like the last minute right?! In all this mess, Walmart along with Target are about the only stores open to get something decent. She likes Pioneer Woman too, so it was easy. A few more things and out the door we went. We were hoping Raleys would call to say our prescriptions were ready, but no. We headed home.Mason Valley is the onion capital of the West. Not this year apparently. They use a lot of workers from Mexico who aren't here :( Peri and Sons equipment is parked all over the area. |
Not something we've ever seen in 7 years |
These fields and all the rest should be planted by now :( |
Right after we walked in the door, got messages from Raleys that our drugs were done. Figures right? I got started on putting together the deviled eggs and making cookies to take next door for the birthday bar b q. Her birthday and she's cooking. LOL.
We headed over late afternoon and were able to have a nice visit in the backyard with her family. They always make us feel such a part of their family. Time flew, dinner was eaten, presents open and then an outside fire started. We went home about midnight!!
Happy Birthday Karen! |
Karen's granddaughter Natalie painted this canvas for her..John and Karen with a fire behind them π |
Karen's grandson Niko (my birthday buddy) made these delicious strawberries to share π |
Another early morning yesterday as we had to run back to Gardnerville (close to 60 miles one way) to pick up the prescriptions. We made a quick stop at Walmart for stuff for an oil change for the 2008 Patriot. Homeward bound.
I had a craving for zuchinni crust pizza so spent the afternoon making up the pizza toppings and the crust. Later we put it together. Ken has been working on running the antennas and booster for our new, no satellite televisions. That work is still continuing as I'm writing the blog today.
Zuchinni pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni |
Pepperoni, mushroom, olives..Ken's It was delicious! |
John from next door is home until Monday morning, so he stopped by for a little visit. Once he left we put the pizza in the oven and started watching Fried Green Tomatoes. Love that movie and we've only seen it a few times over the years. On my bucket list is to visit "The Whistle Stop Cafe". Could have been on the list this year except....America closed down! Hopefully next year.
Today, (Wednesday, April 1st) after getting ourselves ready we headed for town. Thought we should have some cash on hand so we stopped at the bank. ATM was operable, but the bank was basically by appointment. Their drive through lanes were busy! Ken was going to fill the car, but no need. He checked and the dump is open so that's good. I ran into Raleys to see if they had a special wine I wanted, they don't. Home again.
Ken had talked with John and Karen and they wanted to have another bar b q with her kids later today. I made some cupcakes and 7 layer dip to take over. It's really windy so it may change to tomorrow. Looking like not tonight, but that's ok.
Our Daughter in Law Lori texted and said Aaron had completed all his homework and got straight A's so when do I want to pick him up. I told both families to let me know when they want me to come get the boys and i'll be there! Friday, I'll run over and get him! One happy Grandma and Papa.
Time for Happy Hour with the hubby!
