Yes, it’s truly summer here in Henderson. We’re up to about 110 degrees every day. Inside of parked cars I’m sure it’s five to 10 degrees warmer than that. A couple times this week I’ve ventured out with the kids in the double jogging stroller with Tank hitched up. I’ve either been jogging or rollerblading. […]
Those of you who enjoy hot or even warm showers will appreciate this story. Remember two-plus years ago when our hot water heater dumped 50 gallons of water and I had to tend to it shortly after having knee surgery? We replaced it with an energy efficient Kenmore model. However, for the second time now, […]
We went with several of our friends and neighbors to a Las Vegas 51s game tonight. I got tickets from a client I work with. It was a great summer outing. The 51s were behind by four runs when we left after the seventh inning stretch. We promised Eliana we’d stay for the song, Take […]
For Father’s Day this year I had a completely normal, enjoyable Sabbath day. It was quite a bit different from Vickey’s Mother’s Day when I spent the whole morning shopping around Salt Lake City for a tire shop to replace our flat tire on the Sequoia and we spent the whole afternoon and evening driving […]
Well, according to my mom’s email this morning, their offer to purchase property in New Harmony, Utah was accepted. Her email: This is an OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! We have a PROPERTY DEAL in Harmony Heights, Utah!! We signed the papers last night via e-mail transmission, so we should be the new owners soon. Now all the […]
The City of Henderson just built a new water park a couple miles away from us. They have a pretty impressive Parks Department. Now that she’s out of school, Eliana’s trying to fill her itinerary with all sorts of fun things. Here are some photos from the first week of summer.
On Thursday Eliana and her cohorts finished this year of public school. As I mentioned earlier, she and Vickey cooked up a plan to have many of her kindergarten class friends over for a late night party. The played in the back yard, had snow cones, ice cream and popcorn while watching a movie. I […]
My parents are now at the Las Vegas airport waiting for their flight back to rainy Albany. It’s 100 degrees and sunny here in Henderson and in Albany it’s 64 degrees and rainy. We enjoyed seeing grandma and grandpa for a few hours yesterday and today, and going out to dinner with them last night. […]
We learned late this afternoon that my parents have made an offer on a 3.8 acre lot in New Harmony, Utah, just south of Cedar City. They’ll know early next week whether or not the owner has accepted their offer. I must say I’m surprised they were able to find something they could agree on […]
We received a voice message tonight that my parents—who are hunting in southern Utah for a place to call home after my dad retires in a few years—are extending their trip and will be back in Vegas on Saturday afternoon before flying back to New York on Sunday. We hope they’re having fun researching and […]
