Vegas, Baby

What an amazing week in Vegas and we have three more weeks to go! Got to meet some new friends, Lisa and John (just started to full time - so excited for them), was able to spend a day with my stepbrother, Robert, and was also able to spend the weekend with my cousin, Julie and her son Garrett. I am so thankful for the people God has placed in our lives. "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful". Colossians 3:15 (NASB).

Our site for the week.

Loving these clouds!

Roadrunner, if he catches you, you're through! "Become like a bird, expand
 your wings, learn new things, and fly as high as you can". Unknown. 

Our first night together - cousin time!

So, this past weekend, we ate, gambled, went to the Vegas strip and ate again, then went to Piff the Magic Dragon show - I really had a great time! There were so many people walking around and we Uber'd so we didn't have to drive in that traffic. Vegas, baby, what can you say? "Keeping it real" I did make some money on the Craps table. Once I doubled my money, I had to walk away. It was very exciting. Get me to a slot machine and I can lose it all. I did pay it forward to some others when I didn't win and I cashed out with .10 cents, .15 cents, .30 cents and with a dollar win. So that felt good. 

Garrett wanted to go to the M&M store, he has wonderful childhood memories about this place. Fun fact: Forrest Mars moved to Europe to set up his own business and, a trip to Southern Spain he saw soldiers eating chocolate. At the time, warm weather was a problem for the chocolate industry, but these candies had sugar shells that prevented them from melting. This is where Mars got the ingenious idea from the slogan "melts in your mouth, not in your hand".

Garrett wanted to go to the M & M Store, so here are 
a few pictures from there, it was a cool place to visit.

Just hanging out.

Having some fun!

After we went to the M&M store, we headed towards our dinner reservations at Gordon Ramsey's Pub and Grill. Oh man, it was so good. After that we went to see the Piff the Magic Dragon show. It was so good, and he is so funny. So much fun to see a show in Vegas.

Ahh, love Gordon Ramsey!

Do not ever want to be on one of his cooking shows!

Even though he wasn't there, had to take a picture.

It was a good show, glad we got to see Piff the Magic Dragon.

Another new state! Here are the state bird, tree, flower and motto for Nevada. 
 
*Nevada: Mountain Blue Bird (Bird), Bristlecone Pine (Tree), Big Sagebrush (Flower), and "All for Our Country" (Motto).

More fun to come in Vegas as we get to see some more shows, be with more family and friends! Thank you for joining us on our journeys!

If there is something special you would like me to take a picture of, please let me know!

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
