Awake: 6:42am Temp 43 sleep 6+39 mostly cloudy overnight @ Pahrump, NV.
Since we’ve been hanging out in the city of Pahrump all these weeks & visiting Las Vegas now & then, we couldn’t help noticing a vast home building expanse as we enter the Westside of Las Vegas on our trips. Someday, we said to ourselves, we’ll take a look @ some of those model homes for new & modern ideas. Well, today is that day.
Driving the Suzuki, K & I motor to the western edge of Las Vegas & spend the entire afternoon touring (27) model homes from (6) different builders; the huge complex is called: “Mountain’s Edge.” We weren’t necessarily looking for floor plan ideas, but perhaps better utilization of floor space and the latest in appliances, lighting, fixtures, etc. We were casual about this self touring & took our time; if a good idea was discovered, I covered the scene with picture; there weren’t many.
My sister Corinne calls from PA shortly before we arrive @ our motorhome; she informs us that Vi, Josie's mother, passed away today. She was 85 & a real nice lady.
Dinner: leftover crab & corn chowder-mac, cottage cheese & peaches over spinach leaves.
Mid evening; Gary & Grace J. call from Florida; Kathy talks for about (35) min & I talk for (70) min. Gary had me so mesmerized with his exciting story telling about the classes he attended this last month, I could have talked & listened for @ least another hr. I think they are having more fun than we & they are not even retired yet! It was a good call. If all plans materialize, we’ll be spending time with them in about (2) weeks down in Vegas.
DVR movie: “Four Daughters” with Claude Rains, Rosemary Lane, Lola Lane, Priscilla Lane, Gale Page, John Garfield, Jeffrey Lynn, Frank McHugh, etc. Believable, beautifully acted soaper of small-town life; four young women with musical father Rains have lives altered by four young men. 1938. Great story….add it to your long list.
Lights out: 12:04am
