So we are here in Las Vegas, Mother Nature’s antics are over and we are getting settled. Getting settled means having your wits about you. Why don’t we have our lovely coconut oil bath soap bars? I forgot, I may have mentioned this earlier but I am now an official old codger so I don’t remember. But I got some new Dove soap bars and they smell horrid but we will use them up.<\/p>\n

Oh no, we have no kettle. That one is on Colin. Sometime in May ( because the RV was in the shop in Kamloops before that ) Colin put away our regular kettle and brought the smaller one in from the RV. “No worries Contessa I will put it back” \u00a0\ud83d\ude44\u00a0Nada. So we just bought one and it is bright red and we both love it. Next day Colin recalls that he had forgotten to bring the vacuum cleaner\u00a0\ud83d\ude25 \u00a0Well we now have a new one which is actually really great with fabulous suction. It is also red. I can’t remember in the twenty plus years that we have been travelling to Mexico that we forgot things like that. So that must mean that we are old codgers.<\/p>\n

Taken at home before we left.<\/p><\/div>\n

This past Monday, once the wind died down a bit we made a quick grocery shop at Smiths and picked up some wine and a few groceries. Sadly they no longer carry our favourite. We then stopped at Trader Joes to pick up a few bottles of two buck Chuck. We wanted to see if they were any good this year. Well first off they are now four buck Chuck. The first bottle I opened was like vinegar. They did refund me the money but we have moved on.<\/p>\n

So many of my readers have been telling me that we need to shop at Total Wine here in Las Vegas. We have always been short of time. This season we have time. One of our favourite Pinot Grigio’s is from Venice, Italy and I could not find it anywhere. So I googled who sold it and Total Wine came up. \u00a0Walmart had none on the shelf but it is priced at $12.98 online. I can get a 1.5L bottle for $9.89 at Total Wine. I also discovered that another of our favourites could be purchased for $8.09 per 1.5 L. Wow! \u00a0I should have checked into this years ago. So I put in an order and saved ever so much\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Well that is one way to walk a cat.<\/p><\/div>\n

Yesterday ( Wednesday ) we went to Costco where Colin picked up three cases of his favourite Pinot Grigio. We also picked up a wine order from Total Wine. Love how the bottles are sealed in boxes. Perfect for travelling.<\/p>\n

The jeep was semi loaded.<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh, I forgot to mention that I resumed my kinesiology lessons this past Monday. We are using an online video method not Facebook. I really did not do well in the two weeks since I saw Lise in person. She changed a number of my exercises and gave me so many new ones. OUCH! So back to a twice daily routine.<\/p>\n

Our days are full but there is a great deal of time to hug and love our girls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
