They're Home

Las Vegas last night/this morning - stayed at the Golden Nugget downtown (and that has become an upscale establishment and the best room we've had, especially for $45.00 - midweek). Oh the joys of being official old people (retired). We went out for the Fremont Experience - light and sound show held hourly. The 8:00 pm show was aimed at the 50's generation ("The Night the Music Died" - Buddy Holly era and enjoyable) and at 9:00 it was just 60's noise and colors (unfortunately, the music I grew up with really had died). Happily Don had brought our earplugs. We didn't attend any others. Next time Jean or Primm, NV - maybe less crowded. Everything looks like it's booming - lots of people in the popular places. But there was also plenty of room for more. There seemed to be a convention in town. Lots of Asians getting their pictures taken with showgirls.

The drive was uneventful, but we were definitely overdressed. It was hot in Vegas (80+F). We considered wearing our swimsuits home, but we didn't have enough sunscreen.

Our GPS said we'd get home at 4:19, and indeed, we backed into our driveway at 4:19. First, unload car (laundry tomorrow). Ineeda was there in the driveway to greet us, Sheba was curled up into the box in the kitchen we left for her (better than sitting on the computer/printer/monitor, leaving her excess fur behind). It took an hour but Sheba has now forgiven me and is happily warming my lap as I sit at the computer.

Our biggest surprise on returning home is the dead refrigerator/freezer. First clue - liquid in the ice cube holder.

Guess it's a good thing we saved money in Las Vegas.
