Well, the rain came late in the day as predicted. It wasn’t much but it lasted well after I went to sleep.  It was pretty much the same today too. I ended up not going to the porch fest after all. I can’t help but wonder if that was a mistake or not.

The rest of the day I did a few things but mostly watched TV. I made a meatloaf, and a couple of ( Read more... )

I had the best time yesterday. I left here a little after 10 and headed to Killingworth. Unfortunately some trucker from Unifirst was being obnoxious by blowing his horn at me. Admittedly I wasn’t speeding but I may have slid into his lane inadvertently. Not my finest moment.

It was just about then when I realized I could get the phone map to play ( Read more... )

I was expecting the weather to be cloudy, cold and very windy and it was as the day progressed. It started off sunny and 45 degrees. It was pretty much the same in Killingworth. This is probably a good thing. I have heard from friends across the country. They did get snow and it ranged from 8 in to a total foot.

I baled on the gym in the morning ( Read more... )

Today I head home. My flight is at 12:20 so we are leaving here around 10 for the airport.  I will bring home with me the memories of the last two weeks of the sights,sounds, people. I have crossed paths with.

I hope to come back again next year and see the things we missed.  Like the Hoover dam and maybe find better hikes.

I also go home with a ( Read more... )

Sunday was beautiful and chilly.  It's sunny and watching the planes making their final approach while on my morning walk was very cool.  The walk was about a mile and half and met some other residents that were on their walk.  This walk helped me get to 3K steps already.

Today we are headed up to the Hoover Dam and explore it.  I was looking ( Read more... )

Today we went  back to Lake Mead. We stopped at the visitors center.  There was video narrated by Actress Stockard Channing about the lake and its importance to the ecosystem.

We were looking for a restaurant and was in the marina.  We found one and had lunch.  We also did some people watching.

We decided to head back to the house to relax before ( Read more... )

Well I can actually say I was at the Vegas Strip.  We got there just about midday and spent four hours there.  M jokingly says we spent nearly an hour in traffic just to find a free self parking garage.  The traffic on the strip is always “bad”.  But the views and the activity sure makes up for it.

We finally found a parking space in the Treasure ( Read more... )

Haven't finished yesterday’s log yet but today was a semi quiet day.  We had to pick up M’s car from the shop and then we headed to a mall so I could get my steps in.   We did about 2000 there and had lunch at Rubio’s Mexican Restaurant and I had their California Bowl.  That had rice and beans and guacamole and shrimp.

Around 2 we headed to South ( Read more... )

The Lion Habitat is only opened a short time daily.  It used to be in the middle of nowhere in Henderson but as is everywhere else developers are building more and more communities around it.  We got there a little before 11 when it opened and there was already a line of cars.

There is small parking area and then you enter the ticket office that ( Read more... )

The day started off pretty cool at 48 degrees and very sunny.  I was looking forward to the temperatures going into the 70’s for the hike into Red Rock Canyon.

Before we went though  we had to do some errands in the same area.  They wanted to meet with their attorney for stuff.  So I kept myself busy.  I went to a  coffee shop called Leone  Cafe ( Read more... )
