SNOW ON THE MOUNTAINS and a lot of rain in the desert. Mesquite looks very pretty now. When we lived in Colorado, we had a friend who lived in a small town in the mountains and she always said it was so ugly until the snow covered the ground. I understand what she meant now. I really hadn't even noticed the mountains much. They just look like high desert. BUT, they are so pretty with snow. Of course, there is no snow here at 2,000 feet, only cold rain and those who have spent the fall here before say that the cold is unusual and early.
HAM, HAM, AND MORE HAM from the 4.99 breakfast in one of the casinos. Food used to be a real bargain at casinos. Las Vegas is just out of site with the cost of food now. We had a breakfast there last year and it was nothing for almost 30 bucks. Mesquite is kind of a throwback to the past. Anyway, we had two giant ham steaks. With the leftovers, we had ham and beans and a great big breakfast this morning. We will return to that again. Also, had a prime rib dinner for $5.99. It was very good.
PICTURES FROM THE DRIVE AND MESQUITE are finally on their way. We take a lot of pictures. More photos later. Tomorrow we travel to Pahrump, NV via Las Vegas.
