We just came back from being gone for 2 weeks, had a great time in Las Wages, oops I mean Las Vegas...
We drove in high winds for a couple days going out, and one day coming back. Oh, going out West of Albuqueque,I wore my winter coat and there was some misty rain, we had pulled into the Flying Eagle Casino and camp ground it was dang cold! But the rest of the traveling days were really nice. It's always good to get home tho. We just took a bus from Sam's town to down town the buses run every few hours, we were let out on Fremont street, lots of action even in the day time, can't imagine what we would have seen if it was at night...there's lots of free entertainment on the streets, one man painting pictures with spray cans like you see in Mexico, he had a big crowd around him, also several wonderful singers , some scantily clothed people, a Ventriloquist who was amazing, also a man painted entirely in silver paint and he stood there not moving a muscle for a very long time. Anyway not entertainment you would ordinarily see......
We were sorry to hear of Gary Jass passing away. I remember him having such a good time this Season at Cribbage etc. And happy he had a good time here this past Winter. Here is the obituary:

Former Mgr. Jack Bardon is in real bad condition.
This morning Tom and Mary Lou Benson furnished the donuts.I counted 35 people but could have been a couple more come in. The conversation was around how rich we got out in Vegas lol lol also that Wednesday a high wind came through and blew the awning on Printy's mobile too bits, and I think some roof damage. But no other damages reported. There was another water leak under the street over across from Frank and Phylliss's mobile down almost in front of A-3. I watched the weather reports before we left Vegas and it looked like severe weather for West Texas for Wednesday, but couldn't really tell how far South in Texas the severe weather was to be, I know San Angelo and North got bad weather Tuesday night, and after that moves out, the weekend is to be pretty bad for North Texas and Eastern New Mexico, so I think we hit the areas just about right. We also took the more southern route going through El Paso.
Busy busy getting laundry done and putting away a ton of things we took with us and didn't need !!!!!
