Day 21

Up by 6 AM and walking.  Not too bad. 

We id a lot of nothing  Kraig went up to the Activity Center and the pool.  Carol and I watched TV in the 100+ temps.

Kristy came over and the gang went up to the Activity Center.  I watched football all day.

Carol had the crock going earlier and we had pork loin for dinner.

Kristy left about 7 PM or so.

Oh no, zip line tomorrow night.

Retirement is sometimes watching TV.

Day 20

Our first night in the busy Las Vegas.  We were in bed by 9 PM and they were our beds.  It’s rough being old.

Ohhhh, I made reservations (5) for a Zip Line  Monday at for sure 8 something.  That will be an adventure for sure!  

Carol & I were walking around ….  before 6 AM.  Yes, its a small park.  AND Kraig slept.DSC_0005

Carol & Kraig went over Kristy's to do the wash in the early AM.  Wow, I was left alone for almost 8 hours.

Look ma, No bra!

The neighbor took his sewer pipe, disconnected his fresh water and stuck his sewer pipe up to the faucet to run clean water thru it.  I snapped this pic as he was walking away with his pipe.  Poop head…..DSC_0006

Carol came and got me for our home meal at Kristy’s place.  Mac & Cheese and Grilled cooked chicken breast was for dinner.  It was good of course.  Her boyfriend Jason and his 11 year old son Anthony was there.DSC_0012

Time to go again.

We’re off to see ED & Sand, Denny, Susie at Congress SKP park.  All back roads.DSC_0025DSC_0027DSC_0029DSC_0031

Little on the empty side.  It can’t be the hot heat.  Why are their at least 6 people in the park.

Day 16

We didn’t hear any coyotes last night.  I’m still waiting for what I think are real nature sounds at night.

Kraig fixed Carol & I breakfast which was real nice.

Carol & Kraig walked and drove the Jeep to the Tower Nice views and some tourist shopping.   I was there yesterday.

It lightly rained off and on during the day.  The temps  stayed in the low 70s.

Nothing real special other than enjoying the mixture of tourists and nature.

Retirement is waiting for something to happen.
