Day 50 – Nellis AFB NV
I awoke to rain, yes rain! in Las Vegas. It only lasted until about 10:30, but it did cool things off. We haven’t seen clouds in the sky at all, but now we had rain. We spent a leisurely day doing chores. Bill helped me load up clothes in the laundry just across the road from us. As we were coming back down the wood ramp from the laundry room, a little snake stuck its head up between the wood slats. We have no idea what kind it was, but I waved the laundry bag at it, and it disappeared.
The UPS guy brought our mail about 11. We were worried it wouldn’t arrive until tomorrow after we had left. There wasn’t much in the box except some magazines and lots of junk mail.
Bill then went off to see the Thunderbird museum (not much) and on to the commissary. I got the laundry finished and folded and back in the RV. Bill napped, and I read and worked on photos.
We met our friends, the Irvins, at the Officers Club at 6. We had beer and pizza and chatted like mad for two hours. The bar manager was so excited that we were having a reunion after 18 years that she brought us free spicy chicken wings. How sweet. It was a really pleasant visit and seemed like no time at all had elapsed. It is always great when old friends remain old friends! The waitress took today’s photo of all of us.
Tomorrow we travel to Williams AZ on our way to the Grand Canyon.
