Yerington's Small Town Christmas Parade! Rain and then snow overnight! The missing key! :(
Spent most of the week at home other than a day visiting Total Wine and Walmart. Ken was taking me by Ross but it was getting late in the day so there's always next week!
Spent some time wrapping gifts as we'll be taking them over the hill on the 18th and 19th. Ken's mom turns 95 on the 18th so we can't miss that milestone 💖
Saturday morning I followed Ken on John's tractor pulling a trailer down 95A to town. It's only 7 miles but it took a good 45 minutes considering the tractor goes 10 miles an hour at its best speed.

It was really cold so I felt sorry for him. He was pretty frozen by the time we got there. We pulled up in front of Karen's store (Not Just Candles). We parked it and headed back home to come back at 1330 for decorating.
We did get to see an hour or so of the Army/Navy game. Sounds like quite the game too!
We got to the store around 1330 and Ken got started putting lights on the trailer and pulling a rope for hanging of decorations. I went out to get started and whenever Karen didn't have a customer she came out and helped too. For our first year of being in the parade, it turned out pretty nice. We had predictions of rain (we were hoping for snow). So we worked with a few raindrops here and there.

Ken took the tractor and trailer over to the meet up spot about 1600 or so. Karen, her mom and I followed a few minutes later. We got situated along with others from Karen's family and a few young people. We're ready to go! Then the rain comes! In buckets! Nevada never gets this much rain, but on the night of the parade we do! Cold, rainy and dark, does it get any better?!! LOL!

We got back and everyone was was wet and cold. We headed home and ended at Karen's for Happy Hour on the back porch with propane powered heaters.
Today we spent hours looking for John's Tractor key. Hmmm...we still haven't found it this evening. This afternoon Ken and I went to where the tractor is parked and we were able to bring the trailer home. Wasn't easy but Ken was going to make it happen. Hopefully the key shows up soon!
About 1600 we headed to Karen's for Happy Hour and enjoyed the evening. John's sending a key home so Ken can get another key made and get the tractor home. Things happen, but Ken feels really bad. We know it was in his pocket when we left Karen's store Saturday night.
Sunday morning we woke up to this :)

| Heading back home Had a nice happy hour at Karen's and then came home and had a tasty dinner of spaghetti made with spaghetti squash noodles and lots of veggies. Perfect comfort food for a cold night and no guilt!
Woke up this Monday morning to blue skies and temps of 24 with a feels like 19 heading to a balmy 41. Lots of very low temps this week! Time to get this day started, as they are all going way too quickly!
Have a great day!
