It feels like we live in a large park. It sure doesn't look like a desert!<br />Our property and grounds committee has been busy. Beside our continuing work on the turf removal project, we're also working on installing gates on the Pickleball courts, and a handrail at the front entrance to the community center. All important projects to enhance the quality of life here. With just over 2000 homes, we have a lot of residents that take advantage of all the activities our community offers. </div><div>And I've finished our summer trip plans to Michigan and have all the hotels booked. </div><div>I'm still working on the baseboard corners. I have 7 done, 2 in progress and 5 to go. They look soo much better! But it takes time to redo and alter the corners, so I'm taking my time. Also, it's hard on my back crouching down on the floor soo long, so I need to take breaks in between. I'm not as young and limber as I used to be..... :-)</div>Waynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429053.post-22394859467203944692022-04-18T10:55:00.001-04:002022-04-18T10:55:00.225-04:00remodel projectGood morning.<div>Yes, don't faint, another post....</div><div>I've been working on a project in our house.</div><div>One thing that has bugged me from the beginning, was the baseboards.<br /> The corners don't match the baseboards.

And besides the main conservation measures we already have taken; Nevada passed a law last year that will ban all nonfunctional turf in the state.

And for a Friday afternoon, it was very busy! But it's a weekend, and the Wrangler NFR Rodeo is in town. So, we saw a lot of cowboy hats, boots and very large belt buckles. :-)<br /> That, and all the interesting street performers. 🙄<p></p></div><div>But it's always a good time downtown, and nice to drive back to our quiet community. Living in such an exciting city has many opportunities for things to do, if you want to.</div><div>And with the mild weather, we've had several driveway get togethers. I don't know why our house has to be the local hangout spot for many of our neighbors, but I'm happy they like coming over.</div><div>So, life is good in the desert!</div>Waynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429053.post-31115428451780031432021-11-18T14:00:00.003-05:002021-11-18T14:00:54.587-05:00My Nov post.. :-)Good morning.<div>I see I'm late posting again, so I need to do a whole month of catch-up.</div><div>Since fall is here and temps have cooled into the 70's and 80's, it's pie baking time again!<br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgN18C5EbrsZ26o9kiVF2rsMBaObKZtfwXtz5KcY61ZGu-dDaMZfgm6AY3SoSHVhcw5jjxu6WI55xUdCup3dYgNCorw4GvIVktoMyTY5dcHQLEH1zrGkIqOjieOdGR8uf9Fy1NbmNpSVeKwury3pFhdXmMfPKbNOR0U52Ei2qX72H-mxFYXFQ=s1672" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1672" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgN18C5EbrsZ26o9kiVF2rsMBaObKZtfwXtz5KcY61ZGu-dDaMZfgm6AY3SoSHVhcw5jjxu6WI55xUdCup3dYgNCorw4GvIVktoMyTY5dcHQLEH1zrGkIqOjieOdGR8uf9Fy1NbmNpSVeKwury3pFhdXmMfPKbNOR0U52Ei2qX72H-mxFYXFQ=s320" width="320" /></a></div>So here's my first apple pie of the season.

We're starting the process of determining what to do with the grassy areas around the community center that have to go. The state has passed a law banning all nonfunctional turf.

So that is the main focus of our committee for a while.</div><div>Then after the meeting, we'll meet at the 3100 Grill for a late lunch. 2 of the committee members are also friends of ours.</div><div>And we just paid the balance on a winter cruise.

The first being spring. :-) our highs are in the 90's and lows in the low 70's. We do have an occasional smoky day from the California fires, but not too often.</div><div>I'm still walking every morning. Some days with Dave, some with Dan and Daniel, and sometimes with Dave and Gloria. So I've been averaging around 3-5 miles each morning. It doesn't seem to be helping with my weight much, but that's because we've been eating out 1-2 times every week. </div><div>And despite the heat, out flowers are looking pretty good....<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtCUpUKGUrrrjsEkw7yk-bXn6QhQiUOXQLoa8ZmaxHGz7key_N2B1w90bFXui5GeAfzDcYwKBlHQgZt-RLHIKUTn1aQ6ofZU90STYT6yQyLg0jBrBXTSnOkmu3Kkdt_RLaG8e9/s1672/IMG_20210913_065806916.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1672" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtCUpUKGUrrrjsEkw7yk-bXn6QhQiUOXQLoa8ZmaxHGz7key_N2B1w90bFXui5GeAfzDcYwKBlHQgZt-RLHIKUTn1aQ6ofZU90STYT6yQyLg0jBrBXTSnOkmu3Kkdt_RLaG8e9/s320/IMG_20210913_065806916.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVzwaHeLx3oZhbN8_0snlFSdO2Foi8mAp0Qk3GupHsHVLCTpbvA4xNhG3ALPReZAJ9D73dEXH9RrwRkW6nmegB5EfXmyTHDzORl7QFSmjM419iso_cIVzcQVV_HIgq7uTGJSHD/s1672/IMG_20210913_065800914.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1254" data-original-width="1672" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVzwaHeLx3oZhbN8_0snlFSdO2Foi8mAp0Qk3GupHsHVLCTpbvA4xNhG3ALPReZAJ9D73dEXH9RrwRkW6nmegB5EfXmyTHDzORl7QFSmjM419iso_cIVzcQVV_HIgq7uTGJSHD/s320/IMG_20210913_065800914.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />I also got me a pair of Bluetooth earbuds......<br />

I think they're made for younger people and not older people with big floppy ears. 😉<p></p></div><div>They're so nice to use and I like not having a cord running to my phone. And, while I'm walking, if a song comes on I'm not crazy about, I don't have to pull out my phone, open the app, and change the song. I just tap the right earbud twice, and it goes to the next song. Pretty nifty! Technology is great as long as you know how to use it! And, they store in a nice little rechargeable case, so they are always ready to use. And, they were just $18. </div><div>I'm currently watching 3 houses and getting mail for 2 of them. One couple should be home the end of the month, and the other 2 by the end of October. </div><div>My stint on the Property and Grounds committee is going well. I have not been to a meeting yet. They keep getting cancelled for lack of items on the agenda. I'm told we should be busier in the fall. </div><div>And October is looking to be a busy month. The 3rd, we're taking a bus tour down to Boulder City for a very large art fair. On the 8th is another Food Truck Friday at the community center parking lot, along with a paper shredding truck that Craig is getting ready to use. Then the 9th and 10th is the community garage sale. Craig thinks that is a good time to find me a birthday present. Then the 21st is the next Property and Grounds meeting. So it looks to be a busy October.</div><div>That's it for now....</div>Waynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429053.post-37332216490858573592021-09-13T21:48:00.002-04:002021-09-13T21:48:33.363-04:00trip to FlagGood evening.<div>Back at the end of August, we took a week long trip to Flagstaff, AZ. We go there every year to escape the heat. Flagstaff sits at 7000 ft., so the temps are usually around 20 to 30 degrees cooler than Vegas.<br />

She moved while it was all under construction, and I wanted her to see how it turned out.</div><div>Yesterday, was my 'interview' with the Property and Grounds committee. It went pretty quick. I only was asked 2 questions. But I did elaborate on my life experiences, and had pictures of my yard from Michigan, my backyard here I designed, and our Salon we designed. I also told them I had been commissioned to design the patio garden for a coffee shop, and also a doctors office. And besides working in the Salon, I also managed staff, and dealt with vendors. And I helped coordinate the yearly plant sale for Cooley Gardens. A city owned park with a volunteer group called Friends of Cooley Gardens. So after all that, I guess no one had any other questions. Oh, I did get asked, since I was from the state of Michigan, "State or Michigan?" Fortunately, I answered State. He was from Ohio, and Ohio State and University of Michigan are hated rivals. So I hopefully got his vote. :-) </div><div>They then excused me and I went next door to the 3100 Grill at our adjoining golf course, while they discussed my possible appointment. I met Craig and Dan there. Daniel, who is also on the committee, joined us a little later after the meeting was over. He said no one voted against my appointment. So, now the recommendation goes to the board of directors, which meets again August 12th. Usually, the board approves the recommendations, so I should be on the committee for the August 19th meeting.</div><div>Then, the waitress and cook came out of the kitchen with a cake and sang happy birthday! It was Daniel's birthday, and Dan had brought a cake to have them surprise him with. </div><div>And now I'm currently watching 6 houses, and getting mail for 5 of them. The wall in my one room has bags all along it with sticky notes above with their names so I remember what bag to put each mail in. And, I'm watering potted plants at 2 of the houses. So, I'm keeping myself pretty busy. :-)</div>Waynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429053.post-47323275538719611602021-07-09T14:54:00.008-04:002021-07-09T14:56:42.256-04:00Someone's view of me.Good morning.<div>Surprise, surprise!

To escape the heat no doubt. :-)</div><div>So I'm currently watching 5 houses. 3 I'm watering plants, and 3 I'm getting mail, and the occasional package.

It's the Property and Grounds committee. I get interviewed this week by the committee, and will find out on Aug 11th if I was recommended to the Board and they approved me. I've resisted volunteering in the past, because I didn't want to have any commitments. I really like the freedom of retirement.

Everything here in Vegas is back open 100%. Feels good not to wear masks and sanitize everything. I was hoping the FAA would get rid of the masks for airports and planes, but with Covid cases spiking again, they probably won't. I just hope they don't mandate masks again because of the spike. I did my part, and 97% of all the new cases are people that are unvaccinated. And now the vaccine is easy for anyone to get. So I shouldn't have to wear a mask just because they don't want the vaccine. It's now their risk, not everyone's. </div><div>So anyway, despite the heatwave, I'd still rather be in Vegas than humid, buggy Midwest!</div>Waynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429053.post-40419768640968521602021-06-25T09:13:00.004-04:002021-06-25T09:13:52.808-04:00new patio chairsNew patio chairs and yard pics.

The vaccination rate has climbed, the infection rate has diminished, and as of June first, Vegas is completely back to normal! That means casino's, hotels, restaurants, stores, etc. back to 100% capacity, no masks for the fully vaccinated, no social distancing, and no limitations on size of gatherings. Buffets are back, show's are coming back, and life is getting back to normal. </div><div>Now, we still had to wear a mask to our dental cleaning appointment today, and I hear that airlines are still requiring them, but I'm thinking that will go by the wayside soon. <br /> As vaccination rates fall all over the country, now that everyone that wants one can pretty much get one, Ohio show's the way with vaccination rates still high. The reason???? Apparently, people who don't want to get vaccinated, just need proper incentive. Ohio is giving out several chances to win a million, just by getting vaccinated. And several full college rides to those under 18. Brilliant! So, all the 'reasons' for not getting vaccinated disappear, when you wave some cash in front of them.</div><div>Anyway, here's that giant Agave, finally blooming.....<br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhba5zKm7OdoCrHCyuHxbD6t0fREo2zRxpA4SDOfZBlBUyhAvYosEUU_PxzXRoIAzGcyb_jS3DKzw2r_TdZMJ1BxGnWBYijw1AOxrYtkWx_qP-97oyCE9sjp3girGyR0R2One4O/s2048/IMG_20210519_123148472+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhba5zKm7OdoCrHCyuHxbD6t0fREo2zRxpA4SDOfZBlBUyhAvYosEUU_PxzXRoIAzGcyb_jS3DKzw2r_TdZMJ1BxGnWBYijw1AOxrYtkWx_qP-97oyCE9sjp3girGyR0R2One4O/s320/IMG_20210519_123148472+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqusVKc9vZQ_lB0N-VzzqaRz1XGIKyplXyU5EFxwO_YDgmQs4qnYoUU4ciojbgz8NdLe8Vfom-WE7uAup9KatiCqh1DkDbG4FB2hOsdZIkGf3Z5zTIG_UqxhL-9nd-R8M8kaLy/s2048/IMG_20210524_112837804_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqusVKc9vZQ_lB0N-VzzqaRz1XGIKyplXyU5EFxwO_YDgmQs4qnYoUU4ciojbgz8NdLe8Vfom-WE7uAup9KatiCqh1DkDbG4FB2hOsdZIkGf3Z5zTIG_UqxhL-9nd-R8M8kaLy/s320/IMG_20210524_112837804_HDR.jpg" /></a></div>It's a massive plant! So sad it dies when done flowering.</div><div>And we've been eating out, a lot! Mostly with many different neighbors at the 3100 grill at our golf course. Good food, reasonable, close by, and great views. We had lunch there today after our teeth cleaning. Needed to gunk up our mouth as quickly as possible! :-)</div><div>Our community had a food truck Friday again 2 weeks ago, and this time, they had 6 trucks, and plenty of food.</div><div>We had a Cubano and a Spicy Steak sandwich. Both were delish!</div><div>I'm still walking every day, usually with a neighbor, Dave. Picking up mail, and watching 3 homes at the moment, with several more soon. People here are just as anxious to get going somewhere, as I'm sure everyone is. We have several trips planned. To Michigan in July, Flagstaff in August, New Orleans in October, and we just booked a cruise for next January. </div><div>So, as life gets back closer to normal, I hope everyone that can, get's a vaccine. It's good for the country!<br /><p></p></div>Waynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429053.post-55632153998558008842021-05-06T17:33:00.004-04:002021-05-06T17:33:30.312-04:00Finally! A post!Good afternoon.<div>Well, I see it's been a month since my last post. I'm getting bad about posting. Don't know why, maybe just lazy. but anyway.......<br /> Life is slowly getting back to some sort of normal. The casino's are opening to 80%. Shows have returned, or are retuning in the next few months, and even buffets are starting back up.</div><div>We've had lunch numerous times at the 3100 grill. It's still been outside, but with more people than just Craig and I. And we go out a little more than just once or twice a week. Still wearing masks inside of course, but I suspect that will ease up as more people get vaccinated. </div><div>I'm currently watching 3 houses, as more people here feeling freer to travel. It'll be 5 by the end of next month.</div><div>Everyone of my neighbors I've talked to have been vaccinated. Some Pfizer, some Modena, and some Johnson. No one has died, or gotten seriously ill. I have 3 neighbors that did have Covid before the vaccines, and even though they weren't hospitalized, they said it was the sickest they'd ever been.</div><div>And companies and casino's are doing what they can to encourage employees to get vaccinated. Wynn, Encore and The Cosmopolitan gave out bonuses tied to the level of vaccination of their employees. As a result, they are now allowed to open at 100% capacity. So getting them vaccinated is good for business. </div><div>And the CDC said cruise ships can return to American ports if the crew is 98% vaccinated, and customers 95%. Maybe a cruise is in out future next Jan!</div><div>We went to a little Cinco de mayo party yesterday at Gloria and Dave's house Gloria made delicious Enchilada's! They're the couple that went on our Panama canal cruise a few years ago. Great neighbors!</div><div>So here's a few pics.....<br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFqw2kuI7G_C0RpGI6mJtC8sKp8xQoEfex88KtK53LgMGUvet2-4ncDZqOo7b0T1IgzLc2noiBUqqeLZgoDRzDCQDGgw9wnYcX-P9jOMzbWs7sWk5Enw_tXL-r0rAmMfN0Fzlg/s2048/IMG_20210424_101632342.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFqw2kuI7G_C0RpGI6mJtC8sKp8xQoEfex88KtK53LgMGUvet2-4ncDZqOo7b0T1IgzLc2noiBUqqeLZgoDRzDCQDGgw9wnYcX-P9jOMzbWs7sWk5Enw_tXL-r0rAmMfN0Fzlg/s320/IMG_20210424_101632342.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFcArXe9Gm57scrCV3ZSML4lf9QLDmVohf77_y4DxmeM_sB0TkXAMsoK7f6iCVsK7V_lSFaFQ_3YzrUs5pEsvBIZWdWrPINi824E1l_BEVOhgUE72EpMXjxFiA3bP3UGjgkuE/s2048/IMG_20210424_101720851_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLFcArXe9Gm57scrCV3ZSML4lf9QLDmVohf77_y4DxmeM_sB0TkXAMsoK7f6iCVsK7V_lSFaFQ_3YzrUs5pEsvBIZWdWrPINi824E1l_BEVOhgUE72EpMXjxFiA3bP3UGjgkuE/s320/IMG_20210424_101720851_HDR.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUJpFvH6VrbjXurnHdj2GCoXyfjYQP2YjlLLBJpu533BiNF8HMnBIQFyZQR58kN_D5lAm_WL7PAWWKY-wpl9BaZayIk345zMY_QWNht8y6FBVLCE1h6irp-2lOOhpOYVTY6ZB/s2048/IMG_20210420_143410652_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUJpFvH6VrbjXurnHdj2GCoXyfjYQP2YjlLLBJpu533BiNF8HMnBIQFyZQR58kN_D5lAm_WL7PAWWKY-wpl9BaZayIk345zMY_QWNht8y6FBVLCE1h6irp-2lOOhpOYVTY6ZB/s320/IMG_20210420_143410652_HDR.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The yard is looking pretty good!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheBw3ihR6b5dmwrqKvzQVYFat1HCw8TWS-D9DAtO70_q3KugzqyM2OZzKKEK40Hc3IXw1gL8abWz6grPy5Mo-63nzOMJ8Gz80e-K8fHX3qC9glnsuocSwXk6AVg59BxGLsbiyx/s2048/IMG_20210426_160126718+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheBw3ihR6b5dmwrqKvzQVYFat1HCw8TWS-D9DAtO70_q3KugzqyM2OZzKKEK40Hc3IXw1gL8abWz6grPy5Mo-63nzOMJ8Gz80e-K8fHX3qC9glnsuocSwXk6AVg59BxGLsbiyx/s320/IMG_20210426_160126718+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Made another Apple pie.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiQnRrUwMmxHjhoZxA7SFsAnMCeapa2WcR7lbJxbLnpvmCX11DIL4EBkbRUbxbSwMb53gMmk8b1_naqZPCl3ebHmQoa25NdgYA9jVWRjHTwkzlt3_eglLf4PtxoTYol6D6cIec/s2048/IMG_20210428_115319952+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiQnRrUwMmxHjhoZxA7SFsAnMCeapa2WcR7lbJxbLnpvmCX11DIL4EBkbRUbxbSwMb53gMmk8b1_naqZPCl3ebHmQoa25NdgYA9jVWRjHTwkzlt3_eglLf4PtxoTYol6D6cIec/s320/IMG_20210428_115319952+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div>My fingerling cactus is in bloom...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgimtF-rOULOkgLCJIRVPggtjbY7FXbp-KQHye5K2xGUZrs0bW6TonQ020edyUvGY-_4z1zv4KTa4NZDBrVuTYWamkbuknK5s89g7SN1RF6Tlhij1ttg9Zion_KgWzCdg6lkSCp/s2048/IMG_20210428_145943426_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgimtF-rOULOkgLCJIRVPggtjbY7FXbp-KQHye5K2xGUZrs0bW6TonQ020edyUvGY-_4z1zv4KTa4NZDBrVuTYWamkbuknK5s89g7SN1RF6Tlhij1ttg9Zion_KgWzCdg6lkSCp/s320/IMG_20210428_145943426_HDR.jpg" /></a></div><br /> And a house I'm watching on the golf course has this giant Agave getting ready to bloom!

We're ready to travel again!<br /> <p></p></div>Waynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05308447697581920397noreply@blogger.com1
