Leaving Las Vegas!

As I mentioned earlier, Patty's sister Cynthia and my cousin's wife Debra drove to Vegas to meet up with Patty and their other good friend's Jody and Rick who have moved to Las Vegas. Patty, Cynthia, Debra and Jody used to get together monthly at each others house to play penny poker and just to get together. Once a year they would take a trip to Vegas together. As I said Jody and Rick have moved here. With Patty and I traveling on the time the monthly poker parties are no more!

Since two of us (Jody and Patty) were in Vegas now, Debra and Cynthia decided to drive here on Thursday and get together. They all, including Patty stayed at Rick and Jody's house while they were here, so I was fending for myself for a few days.

On Tuesday they headed home. Patty needed to be back in the Ventura area on Saturday for our future daughter-in-law Jasmine's bridal shower. Debra was nice enough to let her hitch a ride home. Cynthia opened her home to Patty until Sunday when she flew back to Vegas.

Patty said the shower was very nice. People really blessed Jasmine with wonderful gifts!

While we were in Vegas we found an outstanding and inexpensive buffet. Vegas buffets used to be cheap, but they have now become $15-$30 dollars. I would rather eat at a restaurant where the food is better!

 We were told about a buffet at the Silver Sevens Casino. You can get two for one coupons all the time, so it only costs $9.99 for two!! Every night they have a very good brisket. Here is a picture of an end cut I requested. Also the other food is very good.

For breakfast it is $5.99 for two. I went once when Patty was in Ventura. With the coupon they will give you 50% off for one person. So it was only $3.00! They even make fresh omelettes for you! Now that's a buffet we can believe in! LOL

We went to a huge church in Henderson called Central Christian Church. They have five services over Saturday and Sunday with about 20,000 people! The worship is amazing and the teaching is also wonderful. Having said that, it is still not as good as New Life Community, our home church.

On Memorial Day this guy sang "I'm Proud to Be an American"! One of the best renditions I've ever heard and brought tears to everyone's eyes!

Now we are on are way to Hart Ranch in Rapid City, South Dakota Via Filmore, Utah, Rock Springs, Wyoming, and Lusk, Wyoming. We will unhook the 5th wheel in those towns as we will be driving about 300 miles a day. Just resting and driving.

Tell you more when we arrive in South Dakota.

Love you,

Brian and Patty
