Can't stand it, have to tell a few things we did here.... : ) but thought the above would be a funny entry..... Yesterday we found a great Latin grocery store - so today I went there and bought our lunch from their kitchen/bakery - we had pork, Cuban rice, ceviche, salsa de verde, and plantains. Charlie liked the pork and salsa and ceviche but did not like the plantains at all! Also bought a few bottles of hot sauce to take home with us.
Charlie and I went to see Taylor Hicks tonight! We thought it would be fun to see him, we both liked his style when he won American Idol - so we thought it would be a good show, but it was better than either of us expected, he rocked. : ) It was a good venue too, very intimate, small room, about 50 people at the most there, and his music was very good. I will have to check out his songs when we get home.
Still hot, I think Alaska spoiled us......

Today we are getting ready for leaving - since we have internet here I am working on the blog, and doing one more load of laundry - not sure when we will get the chance to use either again.
Charlie is off entertaining himself at Boulder Station - hope he is having good luck!
I have been uploading pictures - I mean actually uploading many many pics. My blog has run out of storing space, and since I do not want to pay an ongoing 3 - 5 dollars a month to add more, I have uploaded these pics to Snapfish. I have several uploading as I am typing, and I think this link:

will take folks to the pictures - I have some of them labeled, and some not, so you will have to guess where they were taken. ; ) I mainly just wanted to get them up so folks could enjoy them at their leisure. I have most of the best ones from July and the first part of August and part of June.....
We have enjoyed playing around at the casinos, Charlie still does well,on tables and slots and I mess with tables occasionally, but usually just put a few bucks in a slot machine and win and lose 2 - 5 dollars. You can play a long time betting a nickle at a time - you can also win, as long as you think getting 7.89 on a .30 bet is a win - which I do. : )
Was talking to Mel today and realized when we were talking about our return date (around October 1st), that that was only about 4 weeks away! 4 weeks flies by for us, hard to believe we have already been gone almost three months. I am looking forward to being back and enjoying hanging out with family and friends and visiting kids and grand kids and enjoying a Virginia Fall. I know Charlie is missing his family and friends as well, so I am sure he will be happy to see everyone too.
Didi is loaded up and ready to go, we looked at the map and think we know how we are going to head to the Grand Canyon, probably stopping off at the Petrified Forest - so we will be headed out that way tomorrow.
