Loaded and ready to roll, we arrived at the Drouin's at 6:30 sharp for a delicious breakfast of a scramble consisting of bacon, onions, and peppers along with fried new potatoes flavored with rosemary. On the side we had fresh hot coffee and freshly baked Pillsbury biscuits. We were on the road by 7:30. Heavy fog, damp roads, and temperatures just above freezing followed us until well past Ritzville. From there the skies were grey, but the roads were bare and dry. They stayed that way all the way over Dead Man's pass through Oregon and into Idaho. We made it to our friend's, the Losser's, home in Twin Falls by 5 P.M. We welcomed the traveling mercies. Tom and Patty fixed us a delicious taco salad dinner, which we scarfed as we enjoyed a cold beer. Our over night stay was too short, but it was great to see the Lossers again. In the morning, Patty fed us again with a portobello mushroom omelette, fresh squeezed OJ, and English muffins on the side. We hit the road again by 7:45 and by two (helped by the time change) we rolled into the Hampton Inn in North Las Vegas. The roads were bare and dry the whole way, and even though the temperature outside hovered around the mid twenties, we were warm and comfy in Herbie Joe, our Lexus. As tradition dictates, we scampered over to the local In and Out for a burger and fries. We've stayed in this hotel several times over the years, and it seems we sniff out the burger joint every time. Right now our feet are up, Judy is knitting socks, we're watching football, and otherwise happy as fat cats. I'm tempted to head down to the strip to lose our money at the black jack tables, but fortunately, gambling isn't one of my addictions. Instead, I'll just relax with my Bunny while realizing that life is good, especially today.
