Update ...

 


Still in Nevada, Henderson to be exact. I woke up this morning with the feeling of being in a fine hotel. Always unusual to wake up in a new bed, new place. Superman and WonderWoman have only been in their new home three days, yet they have made amazing progress. There are still boxes to unload, but they already have fully functioning (4) bedrooms, a kitchen, family room and office.



This morning, Wednesday, I went with WW to Sprouts to stock up her near empty frig. When we returned GH#1 was up and ready, SM was busy working in his office. We three went to ...


It was GH#1 & my first time at the famous chain. 
And, it was just as good as we had been told.
Mine had this only left this before I remembered!
        WonderWoman had the Chicken Burger.WW brought home Steak Shack burger for SM.

On the way to our parked car, we almost passed Puck's! They make delicious cookies in the shape of hockey pucks and had free samples!


Hard to leave without a box of 6 ...

(All that is left at this writing)
 
Now down to 2-3/4. Pictured at (Left) Orange Puck with Creamsicle Icing (Middle) Peanut-butter Puck w/ Chocolate Icing, and (Right) Cookies and Cream. The Sugar Puck with Confetti Icing was delicious and is long gone. So good, but it's a wonder we are not all in insulin shock!

Then we went to Orange Nails for a pedicure.

A family affair.
 
At 5 pm we left for downtown Las Vegas and ...
 


Described as
a sprawling entertainment venue with a high-tech driving range & swanky lounge with drinks & games.

It is not only human who battle. i have been watching hummingbirds at the cabin. They, too, battle chasing each other away from the bird feeder. The question arises, there should be enough for everyone so why battle? Greed? Power? Protectiveness? Your piece is thought provoking! :-)

Such days with many new impressions and the company of people you love, seem to be much longer than a usual day. My 5 day holiday felt like 5 weeks. How wonderful!
