Lynn & Maddi arrived on time at the “new” Sacramento airport Thursday late afternoon. Ev and I had a hard time finding our way around, because everything is new I guess?? However whoever designs the airports must think we are “rats” and need a maze to run around in!! Guess we are stuck with it now, it is pretty well all built, no room for changes now.
Our first stop?? “Costco”.. where else? Of course “Costco”.
We filled up with fuel, got something to eat.. Lynn & Maddi had a slice of pizza and Ev & I had a polish..
We spent a relaxing evening visiting once we arrived home.
Friday I started getting Mexican food ready for Saturday’s Mexican food dinner and celebration for Lynn & Maddi’s visit here in California. Going to slip in Lynn “R” birthday too..
Late morning Friday we all went to Walmart. Don’t you always have to go to Walmart? Seems like we do.. Lynn & Maddi needed some slippers and a few other things. After a bit of shopping we went up to Brassfields Winery, probably one of the most beautiful wineries in California. And it is in our back yard!!
In the afternoon Lynn, Maddi and I packed up and went down to the Moose and Keys Club to visit some of the people Maddi got to visit over the summer while here. Unfortunately, not many of those warm blooded people were out.. think it was too cold? We did get to visit with a couple of friends.
Saturday morning was a bustling time! Trying to get everything in place for our festivities later in the day.
Lindsy/Chris/Colin were the first to arrive. Ev took out the “Bean Bag” game (in the south it is known as “Corn Holing” this is a very serious game in the south!) Soon Charles followed by Larry/Lynn and then Rich/Judy soon after Rob/Gayle arrived. Now we were all here!
CHOW TIME! Got the Pork Carnitas ready, had some refried beans, cooked up some tortillas and we are ready to chow down! Everyone loved the Pork Carnitas! They did come out great if I do say so myself.
We had a little birthday pumpkin bread w/cream cheese frosting for Lynn. Soon after we retired to the bar area where some of us indulged in some karaoke. LOL.. It’s one of those things, you should have been here to appreciate. We will leave it at that. Moving right along.. Evening went till about mid-night, most everyone left before 9pm, then there were those of us that were staying here all night that sang and entertained each other, very well I might add! Maddi was the best singer of all!
Sunday morning everyone seemed to be up bright and early.. I got breakfast going.. Bacon, some eggs, a bowl of fresh fruit, some toast, wala.. Got everyone feed.. Lindsy/Chris/Colin would be on their way home right after breakfast. That way they could have sometime to rest before getting ready for work on Monday.
Over all Sunday was a relaxing day for me.. I haven’t been sleeping well and then with all the activities it was my time to do “movie” day.. Ev took Lynn up to the casino for a few hours and did some gambling.. Maddi was here with me.. She was watching her programs on tv in the front room.. aaww nice day.. We all enjoyed some left over Pork Carnitas and some beans.. We were good to go..
Monday was a travel day for Lynn & Maddi.. Travel home..
, short lived vacation. However, good time was had by all!
Dropped them off at the airport about 11am.. said our good byes and off they went. Got a call about 4pm all home and safe..
