Snow!

Monday we ran some errands to get Ted ready for his trip to Illinois.  Banks were closed so we hit the ATM Sunday and Monday!  Friends David and Debbie Hawkins took us out to dinner Monday evening at the Red Rock Casino.  We had a wonderful Italian dinner.  Max stayed behind and David and Debbies and was a good boy!

Took Ted to the airport yesterday morning.  He landed in Champaign, Illinois around 4pm.  He called and said "it's freezing here"!   Ted doesn't really have any heavy clothes but took lots of layers and his long johns!  He rented a car and drove to his cousin's dad's house, Bill & Suzy.  He called and let me know he made it.  He said he only had one incident, the car started talking, asking him if he wanted a weather report.  It startled him and he was trying to turn it off and veered into the non-plowed lane!  It was mushy snow but he said he stayed calm and got the car back in his lane! If he can help it, I doubt he'll drive again until he has to go back to the airport!

The funeral was this morning.  Ted was said it was very nice.  It's in the low 20's so very cold and snow on the ground.  They are at his cousin's Tricia's house where he took this picture of the snow:

Meanwhile, back in Vegas where the weather is nice, Max and I were invited back to David and Debbie's for dinner. David's mom is in town for surgery so I visited with her. I hadn't seen her for many years. It was nice to see her.

Today is "senior day" at the Boulder Station casino (near the campground) so being over 50, I will head over this afternoon and see if I can win anything! Wish me luck.


More later..."Ain't Life Grand!"
