We spent the last month kitty and chicken sitting...yes, chickens! Daughter Melinda had a conference then a Baltic cruise so we kept her livestock fed, watered and happy, Well one cat spent a month hiding in her closet but the other kitties were fine. Had to water and feed the chickens-Chicken 1, chicken 2, chicken 3, and Anabelle. They didnt grow enough to produce eggs so we'll had to use a grocery store. She also has fruit trees, lemons were ready but the apples, peaches, plums, pears, avocado, raspberries, and assorted veggies were not. Not true, I ate her cherry tomatoes as fast as they could ripen. This farmlet is in Los Angeles, 5 minutes from Disney. Hard to believe!
So, we headed home thru Las Vegas. Stayed at The Golden Nugget in the best room ever. But spendy. They charge extra for everything. Coffee, Would you believe $15,for four cups.(inroom coffeemaker) You want an extra bath matt? Costs extra, WiFi, Rollaway bed, water...open your wallet. The buffet was a fortune for nothing special. Found a Subway and thought we'd save a little...two 6 inch subs and a bottle of shared water...$21!!!! We did find a prime rib special for $15 a person, It was great. I remember the days, years and years and years ago when breakfast was $1.99, Lunch buffet 2.99, Dinner (including lobster and crab legs) $3.99 .Of course we're old.
Traffic in California was horrendous! Never heard Jim swear so much. Vegas has gotten so price-picky don't want to go back. But the people sure were interesting to look at. Very weird.
Home is callin me big time!
