February 12, & 13, 2016 Mesquite, Nevada

     Friday  Feb. 12  It felt so good to sleep in and not have to get ready to go someplace, I think Pepsi was even happy to have us home with him. Our plan for today is to head to Mesquite to spend a few days with our friend Gary who lives there. He and Kent spend a lot of time in the Keno room, I have a good book that I haven't had time to read, so today is the day! Mesquite is about an hours drive from Vegas. I fixed us lunch to eat on the way, Kent and Pepsi sat in front and I sat in back reading my book. We arrived there late afternoon, Gary met us at the Orleans where we ate dinner and I won $60 on the slots, thats because we weren't there enough to give it back. We will be dry camping for a couple of nights at the Virgin Casino and then we go to the Orleans where they have a nice camp ground with full hook-ups and a beautiful pool to lounge in the sun by.
     Saturday Feb. 13 Kent spent the day with Gary, Pepsi slept and I read my book and checked in on the gamblers, playing a little slot on my way through. We went to the 4:00 pm Mass at the beautiful church here.  They built this church a few years ago, it is so large and they really fill it up. I wonder how many of the people are snow birds like us? We thought Gary and his friend were meeting us for dinner after Mass, but somehow there was a mix up, we wound up eating tacos at Taco Bell across the street and watching a movie.
