October
13 – I was up early and could hear the balloons on they way over. They were really low this morning and there
were some that we hadn’t seen before.
It’s funny how the currents make those at one height move so slow and at
another height they scurry right along.
Bill got up to see them and said he was going back to bed but they kept
coming and he never made it back to bed after all.
I
made bacon with fruit and we ate the last package of the Bimbo Crispy
Wheels. Might look at home and see if
they are carried there. They’re made
with a rosecake waffle mold and sprinkled with sugar. Nice little addition to breakfast. My mom used to have those molds but I don’t
think she liked the hassle of making them.
We
had a list of places to hit today and I think we got them all done. First we hit 2 pawn shops and I was pleased
to get good deals on a pair of earrings and a ring. Then we stopped at a nursery that Kam and I
found out about but never made there.
They had the best selection of succulents and in several sizes. She was not able to Facetime with me to see
them so I winged it and bought 4 I hope she likes. They had a good deal on them and being a
“senior” I got another 10% off. What a
deal!
Then
we headed for the real shopping area where we stopped at World Market, Target,
Sprouts (like a Whole Foods) and had lunch at the slowest Wendy’s on the
planet! I tried the Powerhouse Salad and
think I’ll stick with Apple Pecan unless they have the special summer salads.
We
made a quick stop at the RV to drop off the produce and bacon and headed across
the interstate to the Sandia Casino where they were having a huge Arts and
Crafts event. We got parked and walked
to the entrance where we discovered it’s a $10 per person fee to enter. Needless to say, we’d rather use the $20 for
something else. I don’t recall ever
going to an Arts and Crafts Show where you had to pay.
The
arena manager made arrangements for a guy to come pump out anyone who needed it
this afternoon so we headed on home so we wouldn’t miss it. Bill read for a while then went to get the
car washed and I printed postcards and updated our expenses and waited for the
guy. It was VERY interesting. The guy had never pumped RV’s. Each owner has to do everything with the RV
and he attached a heavy duty hose to the sewer connection and the other end to
a 5 gallon trash can. He turned the suction
on in the truck and takes the truck hose and holds it in the trash can. The arena manager made the trash can part and
it was a pretty smart way to do it.
Bill
got back right after they finished us and were at the folks next door so he did
get to see the mechanics of it. Then
once they moved the truck he washed the front of the RV for our departure in
the morning. Once we were pumped I put
in a load of laundry since we’ve run out of space. With Kam here it created an extra set of
sheets and big bath towel.
It
was my turn to pick a restaurant and it was NOT going to be Mexican. I picked
Crackin Crab and it was delicious. It’s
a seafood boil place with prices changing in accordance to cost. I had chosen a different seafood place but
they literally did not serve anything BUT seafood and that wouldn’t be fair to
Bill. Here he had chicken and I had a
black mussel boil. I did one pound and
it came with a boiled potato and I added slaw.
I could have eaten 2 pounds! They
even provide a bib! After dinner we went
next door to Stone Cold Creamery and had some coffee ice cream with a mix
in. That’s a special treat for us as the
price it kinda high in my opinion. It
was the perfect dessert though!
The
ride home was uneventful and when we got back we called our friend Barry who
was in the bad car accident. He’s now in
rehab in Henderson , NV
Time
to post a couple more blogs and pack Dell up for our departure south in the
morning!
Thought
I was done, then the fireworks at the fiesta started so I ran out to get some
photos.
