a good buy

Good afternoon.
The rain is moving in, along with a cold front. 75 yesterday, and windy, rainy, and 67 out today. But, as usual with Vegas, tomorrow will be sunny again and 74, and warming up to near 90 by Sunday.
Last Saturday was the community wide yard sale. They have this twice a year. I didn't have a thing to sell, but we fixed our morning coffee, and went for our walk. Thought we could get both walking and window shopping in. Never know what you may find at yard sales. Well, we no soon left our house, and 5 doors down the street, where a new neighbor moved in, they were having a sale. Had just moved up here from Henderson, which is in the far southern area of the valley. I found this lamp for sale there....

It's called a bankers lamp for some reason and I've wanted one since we moved here for my desk. I just didn't want to spend the money for it.
Well, he had it for sale for $3. I snatched it up! It's perfect for the little stand on the side of my desk. And yes, that is a 32 inch monitor. It's really a nice size for someone who needs reading glasses. But with this monitor, I don't.   :-)
Wandered around some more, but didn't find any thing else we needed/wanted.
And here's a pic of another beautiful rose bush at a neighbors yard....
This afternoon, we're heading back to Taco Tuesday at the Aliante Casino. Three other couples are joining us including the new neighbors.  Should be a good time to get to know each other.
Haven't seen any coyotes on my walks, and very few rabbits. I think yesterday, I walked around 45 minutes, and counted 4. A couple of years ago, I could have counted over 50.
So, that's about it for now.
Now time to head over to Salted Lime for a Margarita!
