Friday 23~~~We had a delicious breakfast with Gary at the Casino buffet. We had the 5th wheel with us and we parked it in the camping row while we ate, so we could get off to a fast start. (picture) We arrived at Sam's Town RV Park in Vegas mid afternoon and believe me it is plenty warm here. We didn't do much today but sit around and watch TV and read our books. Our friends Cyndi and Howie are in Vegas getting some work done on their trailer, so we got together tonight at our place and we played a two games of cards (hand and foot) , the guys really waxed us girls , they won both games. (picture) Saturday 24~~~We went to the 4:30 Mass and from there we drove down town Vegas to the Strip and watched all the activity there. It was so hot and there were so many people walking the sidewalks. It makes you wonder where they are all going to, a lot of them had little children walking with them in that heat. We stopped at the Cannery Casino and donated $20 to them in about 10 minutes and from there we came home and watched a movie. Vegas is not my favorite town, but Kent likes to stop here and see all the activity. Gary will be here tomorrow, so he and Kent can check the town out and I will stay home and read and work on the computer. Sunday 25~~~~Gary arrived about noon, we sat outside and visited in the shade until after 2PM and then we drove downtown Vegas to Bally's Casino to get Gary checked in where he will be staying for a few days. We played a few games of Keno in the Casino there and then we came back to our place where I fixed Salisbury steaks with mushroom gravy over wide noodles for dinner. Kent loves this dish, it is one that Tress made for us and now I make it for him. About the time I had dinner ready to serve, I called Kent and Gary in to come in and they weren't outside, so I waited and waited, then I called Kent, they were two trailers down and he said they would be home in a few. After a few and a few more, I went looking for them with my flashlight. Here they were at the neighbors and Kent was helping him fix his awning that had come down and he couldn't get it to fold back up. Gary is not a handy man, so he was watching and Kent helped until they got it up. It was very heavy and a lot of work, but Kent is always there to help someone, he is the best!! Our dinner was really well done when we finally ate, but we ate every bite as we were all starved, it was 8:00 by then.
