Armed Forces Day in Hawthorne, NV, Working at home, Russell and Lori visit kids in San Diego, A sweet surprise in the mail
Last Saturday morning we left here around 0800 and headed for Hawthorne, NV about 50 miles from here. We were headed to the Armed Forces Day celebration they hold every year.

| Yes, it was a little windy |
It was about 0900 when we got there, so we walked around a bit and then headed inside of El Capitan a casino and restaurant. We headed to the bar for a morning adult beverage.
After that we headed back outside and walked the street. We ended up at the VFW where we usually like to visit on this day. Headed down the street about 1100 to wait for the parade to start. We're usually at the other end of town, but decided to do something different this year.
At 1130 they presented the meaning of the flag, done by boy scouts and the Elks of Hawthorne. Very interesting, but I think we'll skip it next year.
The parade began at 1200. Very patriotic town. I didn't take many pictures, since we've been several years now.

| We loved this one! π |
We enjoyed our time and after the parade we went into El Capitan to have linner before coming home. A very good day.
 |
| Great pours and prices! Food was really yummy too! |
Sunday, of course was Champagne Sunday that was spent in the outdoor kitchen. It was cool so we had a fire going. We made delicious pizza and enjoyed that for brunch. Marinated pork, corn on the cob and cauliflower rice for dinner.
 |
| Oh so yummy! |
Monday we were home all day. Some deep cleaning being done inside and Ken worked on the new bar top in the outdoor kitchen. :)
 |
| Got this beautiful bag in the mail from Eric and Christina for Mother's Day. It got stuck in LA for a bit... |
 |
| The bar top we're replacing with tile. |
 |
| The bar is only 6 foot long, but this will be so much easier to clean. Great job Ken! π |
Tuesday and Wednesday, home again which is nice. Ken got the concrete board and tile down on the bar top. I started on cleaning the house windows inside and out. Today was on the ladder, but luckily they're not too high.
Ken got the tile grouted and it looks awesome! Now, to come up with a new project for the hubby. π
Russell and Lori left on Friday to spend a few days in San Diego visiting Jacob and Allis. Few pictures here!

I am sure they had an amazing time, probably not long enough!
Tomorrow we're heading out to get a new ceiling fan for the living room and groceries. We've got a couple of grandsons coming to visit on the weekend! π
Happy Hour! πΊπ· Have a great night!
