Leaving Las Vegas (New Mexico)

Hope you’ve enjoyed seeing just a part of Las Vegas through my eyes.

The Plaza Hotel from a corner of the Square.

The bar, which we did not get to hang out at.

And which looks much more upscale than when I was last here in 1990 on my honeymoon with ex-Pat.

Art and sun.

Something you don’t see every day.

Refreshing.

I debated sharing this but it really had an impact on me. We explored one of the local cemeteries and these were, we deduced, the graves of COVID-19 victims who could not have a formal funeral. There were several long rows just like this off to the side of the cemetery.

Bye now.

Today’s gratitudes:

• Sunshine
• That MKL and Pharaoh arrive today
• My truck
• That I’ve won over one of the postal workers (it only took six months)

Art, Las Vegas, New Mexico

Keeping watch.

St. Patrick’s Day Posting.

I do love murals.

Gift Shop Tree

Really Odd and Slightly Hurtful.

Marital Stand-off.

These gentlemen watched over us in our bedroom. Only a little creepy.

This fellow came home with me. His name is Fren.

As did the piece. I think her name is Churro.

Yesterday was a rough and emotional day. I was poked and squished and prodded and gave away money and went back to cozy house, but I’m not quite ready to write about that. Soon. Until then, we’ll spend a couple more days in Las Vegas.

Today’s gratitudes:

• An easy drive
• 13 inches of snow, which is good for the drought
• Leftover Carelli’s Tricolor Tortellini
• Petting two dogs yesterday
