What a morning, I didn’t think a tire would cause so many problems. We drove to Camping World to get the new tire on the rim, they said they could do it but it would cost big bucks and suggested we go to another place. We put the address into the GPS and off we went, we found the other place (Ted Wiens Tires) and he made us drive to his truck division. We drove there and after 45 minutes of waiting we finally got it done. It is so nice not to have a tire in our living space.

After the tire fiasco we drove to Denny’s for breakfast (it’s 2ish by this time), then drove back to our home away from home parking lot. While we were driving the satellite receiver fell out of its cubby, wires only holding it up, we squished it back in its hole but once we got back the satellite controller (we have the sat dish up on our roof and the controller controls it) wouldn’t turn on, there was power but it wouldn’t turn on. With some colourful explicatives from Ross we figured out we put in one of the wires that had come off backwards. All is now well in satellite land.

I read my book for a while, while Baby Girl was walking (jumping) on the bed with me, Ross took off to see if he could rent a car. I almost snoozed but couldn’t, rats! There was a knock at our door, it was Michael coming to get us for a night on the town. His sister got us tickets to see The Mentalist, (this is the guy that’s on the TV show) Michael dropped us off at Planet Hollywood, we got our tickets and had a little over an hour to waste before the show started so we popped into some stores, Ross bought a silly hat, we went into the casino for a bit then went to see the show.

All I can say is wow, before the show started they asked us to write our full name on a piece of paper they supplied us, a few questions we would like answered and then an old address. For my name I wrote down my first, middle, maiden name then married name. I asked questions about Alexys (my granddaughter) Pam (my daughter) Tara (Ross’s daughter) then I put down the address I used to live at in Denver.
After doing a few things he blindfolded his eyes then went into the container that had all our pieces of paper in it and started picking some out. He asked who’s initials were KG. A girl stands up and we find out her name in Kim Green and he amazed her with telling her stuff she put on her paper. After she was done he pulled a few more out and asked who had the initials KBC,I stood up and he told me my middle name is Violet, he proceeded to tell me that my questions were about Alexys and Pamela and asked who Tara was. Ross took the mike and talked for a bit and he asked who Evan was. Can you believe this, he then asked where the address was and I told him Denver, he said West Frost Drive and I said yes, he said 7539 and I said no it was 7529, he threw the paper out to the audience and asked who ever caught the paper to read what the address was, a lady opened it up and it was 7539 I wrote it down wrong! Well, Ross and I are still shaking our heads!

I stopped into a store called The Walking Company and got my feet analyzed and got two pairs of sandals to fit my feet.

After the show we took the bus (we didn’t know we had to buy a ticket on the street) for free to downtown so Ross could have supper at the Bay Street Diner. At the last minute we decided to eat at Tony Roma’s but the lineup was insane so back to the Bay Street Diner. But it is no longer the Bay Street Diner, someone bought it out, but the food was good anyway. Ross had the hamburger and I had liver and onions, to die for!

We got home, played with Baby Girl for a while then off to sleep!

Good night from Ross Kim and Baby Girl in Betsy sleeping in a parking lot in Vegas
