I guess I wasn't quite done writing tonight. Here's a preview of our upcoming events...
Tuesday, Feb. 7: Bob has a roof to look at and estimate in Mammoth, CA (about three hours away). We will make this a day trip. However, he just told me tonight Mammoth has a 50% chance of snow on Tuesday. If that chance holds up he will have to reschedule...it's a bit hard to look at and estimate a roof with snow on it!!
Friday, Feb. 10: We are going up to Harrah's at South Lake Tahoe to have dinner with our good friends and former co-workers, Robert & Dorothea. They are here with their family for snowboarding in the Sierras. It will be so nice to touch base with them again.
Saturday, Feb. 25: Kodiak Roofing's 20 Year Celebration Party in Auburn, California at "The Ridge Golf Club."
Friday through Sunday, March 9-11: Bob is walking the Red Rock Marathon in Las Vegas on Saturday. We will drive down to Vegas on Friday, he will do the Marathon on Saturday morning, Sunday morning will be spent with his family doing brunch and we drive home Sunday afternoon/evening.
Wednesday, March 13 - Thursday, March 22: Susan is driving to Oregon for her Mom's birthday on March 15 and will spend time with her family. Bob will stay in Sparks, work, take care of the kitties, and hold down the fort.
April: Look out, Kerrville, TX, here we come. We're taking the rig on a road trip to go to an RV-Dreams Rally for classes, seminars, socials. While we're there, we want to tour a big game ranch (with exotic animals--they were featured on 60 Minutes a week or so ago), do a volkswalk in San Antonio on April 21, go to the Blazers/Spurs basketball game on April 23, do the Riverwalk and explore Texas Hill Country. Yay, we're finally going on the road! We will spend a month traveling, then come back to Sparks, NV.
August: Yellowstone National Park for two weeks (and no work involved)! Hiking, more hiking, walking, geyser viewing, waterfall chasing, wildlife viewing. We will also spend some time in Grand Teton National Park and Cody, Wyoming.
Bob and I find it's good to have fun trips and events to look forward to. We're living the RV dream, baby, and lovin' it.
Sparks, NV:
The more days without vertigo the better. Count this as day two. (I had to start the count over because I had been vertigo-free for seven days, until Thursday this week.)
We met some new friends at lunch today at Jazz Louisiana Kitchen. I had Chicken Pierre which was fettucine noodles with chicken and mushrooms and a very spicy brown sauce. Bob had blackened chicken. I would not order my dish again, it wasn't what I thought it would be. Bob's food, however, looked pretty yummy. We had a long conversation with our friends (2-1/2 hours) which ranged all over the place, but covered a lot of politics. Today was the Reno caucus and apparently they thought about going to it, but it would have lasted almost all day.
Bob worked some this evening, then came home and we watched "My Cat from Hell." Jackson, the guy who works with dysfunctional cats, is great. He helps cat owners work with problem kitties and usually gets the people and kitties to behave properly. If we ever experience any of those problems with our cats we'll know how to work with them. But our two cats are so cool. Cool cats, yeah, baby. Now let's listen to some jazz.
It's late I think I'm getting loopy. Travel bug out.
Oh, tomorrow is SuperBowl. We've been invited to home of some friends of friends. We're going to take pumpkin pie and whipped cream. I go for the food and the commercials because I'm not much of a football fan. LOL.
Have a good Sunday!
