Vaccinated and it feels so good!

Good afternoon.
I'm getting worse about posting. And it's not because I'm soo busy, I guess it's mostly lazy.  :-0
But here's my flowers that made it through our winter and are thriving!


Here's the latest puzzle I finished....
And here's a view from our room down in Laughlin.
We went there for a two night stay. Was nice to get out of town for a bit. And being fully vaccinated, we felt very safe. We were surprised to see how busy it was, especially since we were there mid week. But had a nice time and didn't lose too much money.
Our patio parties have started back up, now that all my neighbors are also vaccinated. We've also been back to the 3100 grill for patio dining, now that the weather has warmed up.
We also booked a flight back to Michigan this summer. Hopefully, by the time we go, Covid is even less a threat. 
But overall, retirement  life is good. And so is Vegas.

A stay at Circa

Good morning.
About time I did a post or 2 or 3.
I'll start recently, and go backwards..   :-)
We spent a night downtown on Wednesday, at the new Circa Resort Casino and hotel.
 We got a corner room, and it was large!



    This is the view from our room, looking north of the hotel.
If you look toward the mountain in the distance, that is where our house is. 18 miles north of downtown.
And here is the reason for our hotel stay......
Our former neighbor and friend Barbie was in town with her sister.
She stayed on the strip a couple of nights, then out at our Aliante hotel, and then downtown at Circa. 
We were able to walk a few mornings while she was at Aliante, and we did lunch together each day. One afternoon, we hosted a meet and greet with about 15 neighbors in our driveway so they all could see Barbie.
It was real nice to see her again.
