We were all up on Wednesday, Dec. 6th
by 8 o’clock having determined that it was too windy to walk first thing. The
sun popped over the hills to the east and the solid blue sky welcomed it. Drinking
our tea and coffee together, Donna and Gerry took turns in the shower. Pretty
much have to, it isn’t big enough for two! Bill put the furnace on for a quick
burst of heat to warm it up in here to our comfortable 70F.

We watched the Gambel Quail fighting
over the dripping tap again so I put a dish of water beside it. I had to place
a rock in the bottom so it wouldn’t blow away. I don’t know if they’ll drink
from it. Bill checked the wind situation online and it looks like tonight it
will abate and get back to below advisory conditions. Yay! The sun is wonderfully
warm but the wind makes it too uncomfortable to sit in.
 |
| At one point there were about 25 quail huddling towards the tap |
So, hmm, what did we do today? We
read, we worked collectively on a Los Angelos Crossword Puzzle. We walked to
the clubhouse, I mailed a card that will be late making it to the destination
on time, we had lunch around noon hour. On time for once! The boys had a
sandwich, Donna had salad and Bill and I shared mushroom soup and I had a wrap.

After Gerry and Bill did the dishes,
we sat outside in the sun up against the Suite. It actually was warm and I sat
in a sleeveless tank top. Clemson sat on my lap so he was comfy! Bill asked if
we wanted to take a drive over the Laughlin to check out the car show at the
Riverside Casino/Hotel. For the cost of 0$ to get a Players Card, we got in
free to the 3rd floor show. The cars are awesome! Our jaws were
dragging for 90% of them.

I snapped pictures although unless I
captured the detail, I won’t be able to name them all. There are probably too
many pictures but it will make up for the small bit of writing today. I hope.
We received $5 each on Free play but they’d had a problem this morning after a
computer upgrade. This meant some of our cards weren’t working and Bill and I
were unable to claim our $5. We put in $5 of our own money and played penny
machines until it ran out.
Donna and Gerry were able to claim
their free play and walked out with $7 or so. Bill and I received coupons for
the Riverside Buffet so we gave one to our guests and we all got tons of food
for $17/couple. Unbelievable. By the time we got home it was 6:30 MT and Bill
fed our patient little pooch. This is why we spoil him the way we do. We can
leave him home alone and he just sleeps in his duty to look after things.

You might find your favourite in these pictures. you can skip through if not interested in cars. :)

Bill put the hockey game on for Donna
and Gerry so they could watch their favourite team. Don’t laugh when I tell you
it is the Toronto Maple Leafs. Die hard fans for sure. Bill and I were going to
read anyway, after I finished my post. This has been a good day with no
pressure. It is hard to believe they only have one more day here with us. Just one more sleep and they will be hopping aboard their plane.

| Another favourite but it would be a different colour if it were mine |

| My style for sure! |

All good things come to an end and yet
saying that, it is probably better not to over extend their first visit. The
Suite will seem so much bigger on Friday, having it to ourselves again. I hope
you have had a good day as well.
 |
So, now we've gambled and ate at the Riverside
Not a fan of their casino though, machines need upgrading |
Thanks for stopping by. I love reading
your comments.
