Happy 21st Birthday Seth! Marine Corps Birthday! Veteran's Day! Ken's appointment and Veteran's Parade in Virginia City.
Happy Marine Corps Birthday! 247 years!
Russell and friends always hold a Marine Corps Birthday party at Old Town Pizza in Roseville, Ca. The server, Sam (short for Samantha I'm sure) buys the cake for them and decorates the area they're in. Awesome, right!

| An awesome turn out of Marines! That's our Marine in the red shirt with a big smile on his face! π |

Thursday morning we headed for Carson City and Ken's lung appointment with Dr. Foster. It was all good! No masks required, and because he's about a foot and a half taller than me, he rolled over on his chair and gave me a hug. π He knows I'm a hugger LOL. Ken will see him again in 6 months.
We stopped at Walmart to leave a nice donation. Then we bought 2 turkeys and 2 hams at Raley's in Carson City too. Cheapest price we've seen, 67 cents a pound for turkey and $1.79 a pound for shank ham.
We headed to Betsy's Big Kitchen for linner and then home. Karen called, but we were too tired and cold to get together for Happy Hour. The wind was up and temperatures were down!
Friday morning I made a couple of simple egg burritos on low carb shells and we headed out for Virginia City, about an hour and half away from us. They were holding their annual Veteran's Day Parade and we love this event!
It started at 1100 and we were there about an hour early or so. Virginia City is on a hill so we headed uphill (of course). We found the bar we were at when the outhouse races were going on. The Silver Dollar Saloon (known to locals as "The Sharft") is downstairs. Quite a few steps to get down there and then back up to the street.
Wow! We were surprised at how crowded it was for 1015 or so in the am. Of course, we were there too LOL. Bloody Mary for Ken and Screwdriver, but made with Gin for me.
At just about 1100 we went up to enjoy the parade, and that we did! The National Anthem was sung by a young lady with no musical accompaniment. It was awesome, brought tears to my eyes and to others around us! I hate the theatrical versions done! Pure, simple and from the heart! It was awesome!π
 |
| You can't really see this little family's signs but they say "Thank you for our Freedom!" They held them up the whole parade! |
 |
| Storey County got the Sheriff they wanted! |
 |
| Navy ROTC |
 |
| Some "vintage" Marines |
 |
| This bar is in town somewhere..apparently well liked according to people we talked with.. |
 |
| A great turn out for the parade |
After the parade we went back to the Silver Dollar and had one more drink. Amazing to see the people in there! More were coming in so we left to head for home.
We decided rather than stop to eat somewhere, let's go home, barbecue some burgers and fries and start a fire in the outdoor kitchen. What a great idea!
 |
| My first day of UGGS..high of 38.. |
By the time we were eating it was around 1500. That's ok, it was awesome and we sat on the bar stools enjoying the view! About 1630 Ken brought up going next door and starting a fire and visiting with the pups! Great idea! Karen was happy there was a huge fire when she got home from work! We visited for quite awhile and then headed home. No dinner needed!
 |
| An awesome fire at Karen's |
Today we were mostly at home, other than a trip to Raley's where each of us got another turkey for the freezer. They say limit 1, so we checked out separately. They had no hams or I would have bought another one!
Ken's been working outside getting things done and I've been in the house doing the same. I did change out the guest rooms bedspreads and put Christmas ones on π
Couple of updates here.
Grandson Aaron had an MRI on Monday for his knee. Torn ACL and Meniscus. Surgery in the near future, so his football days this year are done πͺ
My sister Linda's dog Tank crossed the rainbow bridge this week. It was quick and painless for him, at least. Of course those left behind are the ones that do the grieving. π
Got a fire going watching clouds come in right now. We'll see what we get! π Have a great evening! Thanks for reading! ππΊπΈ
Last but not least, THANK YOU to our Veterans!! A special THANK YOU to our own! Russell, Jacob and Seth! π
