On Friday, we woke to 22 degrees outside – BRRRR!!! But the sun was shining and we decided to take another road trip to Red Rock Canyon. This National Area is about 17 miles west of the Las Vegas strip and has a great visitor center and 13 mile scenic route. There are also some great trails and programs and when we come back to this area (in warmer weather), we may just may camp here and do some of those trails and programs – :-)).
Here is a link to more info:

The pictures are from the area and the scenic drive – Enjoy!
And the swirls of color:
Lots of rock climbers:
I am amazed at the different colors in the rocks and the layers..WOW.

Doesn’t this look inviting:
And Friday night we had Thanksgiving revisited (as my friend Madeline would say). There were that many leftovers from our dinner here at the clubhouse that we had another party tonight – :-))) Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
On Saturday night we got together with John and Audrey and another couple for dinner – another great time – :-)) Oh and I have to tell you about the traveling tree….
In December 2008 while we were at Livingston, Texas, Andy and I purchased a small Christmas tree at the Dollar Store for the holidays. Well, when we left, we put the tree on the sale table. Audrey picked up the tree and used it the following year (we did not know this). On Wednesday when they came over, they brought us a Christmas present – the little tree – :-))). So Audrey, I will take care of it and send it your way when we see you again.
Wednesday morning was my last day with the beading ladies and Saturday morning was my last coffee hour with the ladies and it was sad to say goodbye for now… but hopefully we will see them next season – :-)). We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Pahrump and tomorrow we will head south to Quartzsite, Arizona for a few days.
So stay tuned.
