Finally! A post!

Good afternoon.

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.......
 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.

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. 

I'm currently watching 3 houses, as more people here feeling freer to travel. It'll be 5 by the end of next month.

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.

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. 

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!

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!

So here's a few pics.....

The yard is looking pretty good!

Made another Apple pie.

My fingerling cactus is in bloom...

 And a house I'm watching on the golf course has this giant Agave getting ready to bloom! It must be 20 ft. tall! Unfortunately, once it's done blooming, the massive agave plant will die. But babies will come up from the roots. 

I still walk every morning. Many morning's with Dave. Sometime in the afternoon, but now the days are getting a little too hot for that. 

But life is good, here in the desert!
