An Awesome Birthday Weekend!!

| Might be kind of hard to tell, but that's a Navy flag below the American flag. The flagpole came from a Veteran owned and American made company. 💕 Made to withstand 100 mph winds, needed out here! Thank you Russell and Lori 💗   |
On December 13th I turned 69. Sure don't feel it, but it is what it is. Three weeks ago or so Russell asked if we'd be home for my birthday. Yep. So he and Lori along with friends John and Andrea planned to come out for the weekend. Well, you know that's ok with us! Thanksgiving weekend nephew Jesse asked if it was ok if he came too. OF Course! Then his mom Diane asked if she could come, OF Course! Adam had asked a week or so, not knowing that everyone else was coming if he could come out! Erin had her wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday so she wasn't up to coming unfortunately. We ended up with a nice party weekend here though!
Early Friday afternoon Russell, Lori, John and Andrea pulled up. They surprised us with Birthday presents that were "Remember Everyone Deployed" hoodies. Absolutely gorgeous!
Not too long after that I was called to the backyard and there was a tall wrapped box. Hmmm. Ken had already guessed and it took me a few minutes, but it was a 25 foot flagpole. They even brought 5 bags of concrete too. Always wanted one, but just never pulled the trigger. We had a home made pole, but sure didn't compare to this! I literally jumped up and down as I was so happy! 😃
Jesse and Diane arrived later and then Adam after he got off work in Polluck Pines, CA. We had an awesome evening, most in the outdoor kitchen. Cold? Yes, but with a nice fire it was awesome. John and Karen came over for a bit so that was nice too.

| Most of the weekend we had an outdoor fire, in the kitchen and a propane fire going. Yep, they're tough! |

John and Andrea had brought two American flags that needed to be retired. We had a nice fire going and sent them off in the proper way. It was actually very moving, as Lori read a statement about the flag and then we all said the Pledge Allegiance after. John had cut the flags up and we all threw our pieces in the fire the way it's supposed to be done. 💖

A way too late night LOL. Such an awesome birthday for me.
Saturday morning we got up to breakfast sandwiches in the outdoor kitchen. Coffee of course and then the champagne flowed. Yep, my birthday weekend. 🍾
John and Andrea got stuff for a chautertierie board on both Friday and Saturday and was amazing! Friday was lasagna and caesar salad and french bread. Saturday Enchiladas, coleslaw and mexican rice. All good and all gone!
Saturday night Karen came to visit and a good time was had by all! Too good of a time probably! LOL. Another late night but how often does it happen?!

Sunday morning I made biscuits and gravy along with eggs and then most left. :( Diane, Jesse and Adam remained. Started with some mimosas and then that ran out 😱 so ended up with light screwdrivers. A very LAZY day for me. So enjoyable.
Ken decided to pour the concrete for the flag pole. Ken and Russell were going to do it Saturday, but soooo windy it couldn't be done.
I just enjoyed my day in the outdoor kitchen until dinner time! It was simple as I had bought lunch meat, potato salad, macaroni salad etc for lunches that didn't get eaten. An early night for most of us.
Monday morning Adam came in from out in the Komfort about 0315. I was awake so came to the living room with him until he had to leave for work to get to Pollock Pines, CA for work.
After breakfast Diane and Jesse left around 1000 or so and then I started cleaning the disaster that was left. LOL. Because the water is turned off for the winter in the outdoor kitchen there were lots of glasses that needed to be washed and brought back out.
I wouldn't trade any of this, to have family and friends come out to visit!!
Around 1630 we headed next door for Happy Hour with John and Karen.
Today we're home just enjoying. Got caught up in a Christmas movie while folding clothes. I should know better! 😂
Tomorrow we'll head for Carson City for Ken's bi yearly lung appointment.
Thursday we're heading over the hill to see Ken's mom for her 97 year old birthday. It's actually tomorrow, but we've got his appointment. Got a motel for Thursday night in Carson, so we won't do a one day turnaround totally.
Have a great evening!
