A Pretty Normal Day for Us

We participated in some pretty mind blowing activities today!   Grocery shopping, walking the dog, lunch in the fast food court at the Base Exchange, and sitting in the sun (not necessarily in that order!  

I'm a happy camper!!!

The Dish tech showed up early this morning - after spending 40 minutes going through security - and basically did nothing but make a phone call to tell them to turn our service on for local channels.  He did, however, clue us in as to how to avoid this hassle next time we re-activate after putting the service on hold while we are home.  We felt sorry for the poor guy having wasted so much time, but he was very pleasant  and helpful.  

As for my maroon vest that I was upset about leaving at home - well, it seems I doubled up my many vests on the hangers and it was under another one.  Yay!   And, lo and behold, guess what was in the pocket... yep, my Costco and American Express cards!  Double Yay!!!  All that being upset yesterday for nothing.  We did not, however, find any tubes of toothpaste hiding anywhere. 

Our site is huge with trees on both sides
separating us from our neighbors and with
parking off to the side. 

The Nellis Fam Camp is across from the main part of the base with the hospital on one side and a fuel farm on the other side.  Not a prime location, but once inside the park is it very comfortable.  The Air Force always has nice facilities for the troops and retirees.  Lots of airplane noise during the day but that is what they do here.  (While we were having lunch we saw pilots from Canada and the UK here for training.)  


There is a walking trail behind us and along the fence that you see behind the RV.  The loop around the park is .75 miles with doggie stations and people benches along the way.  It's nothing but gravel, and the only thing to look at is the other RVs, but it provides a nice walk for Maggie.   There is a large dog park for her, as well.   

Several years ago when we stopped here on our way home one of the women staying in the park was building a cactus garden.  It's a bit overgrown right now but is a nice part of the walking trail.  

Woodhenge?  

Tomorrow's excitement will include a haircut!   Roger is making me some blueberry pancakes for breakfast and we bought little baby chocolate cakes for my birthday dinner!  The sun is supposed to shine and the temperatures are supposed to be in the low 60s.  Happy B'day to me - life is good.
