A Chill Day in Las Vegas

My second day in Las Vegas was spent hanging out with Emily and Mike, enjoying the peaceful side of the city.


Spartacus looking for cuddles.


Some lovely plants in Emily and Mike’s back yard.


One cactus even had a few feathers stuck on it.



This plant had a few strands that grew in curled while most were flat.


A little bee gathering some pollen.


A refreshing cucumber lemonade and our delicious plate of shrimp at La Mojarra Local Grill.



Getting an afternoon pick-me-up at Sunrise Coffee House.


Emily and Mike are those special kind of people that can turn a trip to Costco into an adventure.


The stunning sunset from Emily and Mike’s backyard.


After the sun went down we took a walk around Echo Trail Park.


The moon sharing the sky with the beam from the Luxor Casino.


Back at home Emily and Mike showed off their wine aerator that looked like Dracula spewing blood. 


Emily and Mike also made a fantastic home cooked dinner with steak and sautéed mushrooms.


A perfect end to a relaxing day.

Blairsville to Ocala

The last morning in Georgia was followed by lots of driving and getting to spend a day with my sister Jenny in Ocala.


Mom watching the last sunrise over the mountains.


The fog rolling in.



Back at Jenny’s house I got to reunite with Amelia. Amelia had been roaming around where I lived and she was super friendly. Come to find out she was the indoor cat of one of my neighbors who put her outside because they were no longer able to care for her. They asked if I could take her but I felt like she would do better with my sister since she was already accustomed to being inside and outside. I brought her over to Jenny’s house in August and she is very well loved. 



Jenny regularly takes Clara and Amelia out for walks on the trails near her house. 

Clara.
