Que pasa

Everyday is so different from the last one. And we get to do it all again tomorrow, except we need to make choices on how to direct that new day. What say you?

The days just flow one into the other. We are much more rested but just try and slowly take each day and even sometimes just each hour as it comes. I would be happier with myself if I spent more time reading my novel instead of being on the computer. I would be even happier if some of you sent me a big kick in my back end ” Contessa you have not done your exercises in over a week – get moving lady  🙄 {

We have continued to enjoy very hot days along with blue skies. Enjoyable but realistically that means running the A/C 24/7. Not something we enjoy.

We have visited a few of our favourite shops. I guess that I have been out of the loop. Did you know that Two Buck Chuck is now Four Buck Chuck at Trader Joes? They were sold out of of the Jo Jo Pumpkin Spice cookies much to Colin’s dismay. Third year in a row and we are much earlier this season 😮  We did pick up a small order at Total Wines and More.

Years back a few readers suggested this is the best place to purchase wine in Las Vegas because it was less expensive. Silly me, we were always too busy to check it out. Finally last year we did and I thank you folks for the suggestion over and over. So Friday we picked up the small order and realized that we would need much more for the winter. Saturday I started a new order and discovered that our favourite Italian Pinot Grigio, Bella Sera, was low in stock. The only way we could get more than the four we had was to create shipping carts from each of the three Total Wine stores in Las Vegas. Even our favourite Australian wine had only 3 bottles here and 5 there. The photo shows the final larger order.

Saturday morning I managed to get most of what I wanted. We then took a two hour drive around the city to do our pick ups. Hopefully I made the correct decisions and ordered the the right amounts. It was a lovely drive around Las Vegas. I have heard so many cpmpalitns from rvers on how difficult a city is a is to navigate. Not true. With all the new freeways it is so easy to navigate this city.

Sunday I worked on my large Walmart order. Many food items are cheaper in the US but some are cheaper in Canada. Things like a difference of $2.00 per 8oz of creme cheese. I have never ever ordered from Walmart online before but seeing as my list was rather clear I ordered online and pick it up later that afternoon. It was such a great way to save both time and energy. I still have a few last minute things to pick up before we cross into Mexico.

We have got everything put away and are ready to travel, more or less. Still hot here and Colin has had to carry the girls to the dog park to do their business. The pavement is much too hot for them to walk on.

We have been following Hurricane Norma closely. The third hurricane in the past few weeks to hit the area. So much rain has already fallen.

Colin just washed the RV. We had to pay $25.00 to the RV park here for the extra water we used. They gave us two days to get the job done.The RV looks so much happier. Windows cleaned inside and out as well as all the screens. Many small repair jobs have been completed as well. Colin spoke with our insurance company today and discovered that tires will not be covered, they say how can you prove that the tire wasn’t worn out. They will cover the damage to the Jeep only because Colin has been driving over 50 years and has never had an accident nor a claim. It is a tough world out there.

Looks like we got out of town just in time. Tonight they are expecting a low of -8C/17 F including the windchill.
