Wrote this part yesterday -
Boy this time change is getting to me. I woke up EARLY – tried to go back
to sleep but finally got up and discovered it was only 4:29! So went back to
bed and tossed and turned for another hour. Gave up and got up 5:30. There is
not much to do at the time of day. And it is cold in here. Didn’t want to turn
the furnace on ‘cause that would wake Bill up. Same with the TV. This is when I
miss the house. So sat down on my new seat cushion to write this. Didn’t do
anything to write about Monday. Went out to breakfast and took care of some
business then went to visit our son and daughter-in-law at their business for a
while. Then home. It gets dark here before 5:00 makes the evening seem so
loooonnngg. We did go out to dinner at the Boulder Station, just down the block
from the campground. Pretty good meal in the café. Maybe my problem is that I’m
going to bed earlier ‘cause there isn’t anything to do. Think tonight I’ll stay
up to my usual bed time of midnight maybe that will help.
Now Wednesday morning. – had a very good nights sleep. Fell
asleep about 11 and woke up after 8. Even Bill got up before me.
Last night we went out to dinner to Chili’s with youngest
son and family. The first time I’ve ever remember being called Grandma – kind of startled
me. The other grandkids live far enough away we don’t see them too much and
they don’t use any name for us. If anything they use our first names. So 76 and
Grandma – WOW. We were supposed to meet them at 6:00 at the restaurant at the
215 and Rainbow – clear across town from where we stay on Boulder Highway . So we left here at 5:05
and got there at 6:20. Forgot what traffic could be like in a city at rush
hour. Our son even texted us – “Where are you?” Guess he wondered if we were
lost. Trip of 16 miles! Us old country folk aren’t used to that kind of traffic
any more.
Took a pictures of the High Roller – at night it changes
colors as it goes around. Got it at blue and red – also turns purple and
greenish.
After dinner we took a drive down the strip on the way home. It was 5 degrees
warmer on Las Vegas Blvd
then the surrounding area. Guess all the lights heat it up.
We are now waiting for some mail from home, not sure when it
will get here so might have to make arrangements to pay to stay here at 1000
Trails for a few days. We are supposed to leave Friday. This is another three
NASCAR race weekend – can’t miss any of them.
Going out to lunch with a couple girl friends used to work
with them in the LA School district now they live here. Always fun to see them
once a year.
Bill just came back from the front desk - we will be staying here till Wednesday. - one more week.
