Mark and I were eager to get out of the RV park at the casino this morning. I don’t think this was the case when we were there many years ago, but there were prickly things about the size of pea gravel all over the ground. If we went out with our shoes on, the shoe soles would be covered in them when we got back to the RV. We would try to clean off the soles of our shoes and still, some would get tracked into the RV, and if we stepped on them with bare feet, it was very painful. When Mark had to take Tucson out to do her thing, she would be limping before walking very far. I’m sure that the Grand Sierra Resort is a great place to stay if you’re in the hotel, but I don’t recommend it if you have pets in the RV parking lot.

From Reno, NV
Today I dressed a little cooler than I did yesterday, and wouldn’t you know it, it was only in the 70’s! We also got a little later start this morning than we did yesterday, but fortunately, my sister reminded me that we don’t have to be in Oregon until Wednesday. We were thinking of pushing to get there tomorrow.

Last night, Mark and I invited our neighbor, Kiki, to a campfire as a last hurrah.

Family news
This morning, I had an appointment at Miracle-Ear at 11:00, but I had to stop by Dad’s house to get the address first. Dad kept thinking that his hearing aids were over next to the computer and he couldn’t understand why I was going to their office to pick them up.

This morning, I asked Mom if I could borrow her car to go get some cereal and she said yes, but I ended up getting more than cereal and was gone longer than Mom had anticipated, so she called me and asked if I was lost. I was just having way too much fun!

We got to our spot behind my church here in Tucson last night. I wasn’t feeling very well (I seem to have picked up a cold in the last couple of days) so I pretty much went to bed right after dinner and slept soundly through the night.

We woke up to snow today and Mark, Tucson, and I went for a walk to beautiful downtown Ellison Bay a block from our house. As long as I was out, I took the opportunity to take a bunch of pictures. It reminded me of the poem by Robert Frost, one of my favorites, that I’d like to share with you…
