Well we are really enjoying the mountains and the lack
of humidity that they have out here..
We even have noticed that our arthritis is not as
painful out here..Amazing!
Most days right now here it reaches 110*
On Monday we loaded in our car with Rick and Mary and
went to Las Vegas to check out the Thousand Trails there as we
will be going there for a week when we leave Pahrump!
It was a good day and had a great lunch buffet at
Sam's Town Casino on Boulder Highway.
We came home in time for a nap and then on to the clubhouse
for Texas Hold'em!
