HTP and I left Vegas this afternoon after enjoying a wonderful Saturday Champagne Brunch at The Fiesta...formerly known at The Reserve. We then drove to my folks place to pick up our dogs. HTP suggested that maybe we could just leave them at my folks' place until after the first of next year but he was only kidding...really. Thanks Mom and Dad for agreeing to look after our snoring dogs who drink too much and wake up at the crack of dawn and demand loudly to be walked and fed...first!

Anyway, we got back here to our Arizona home at around 7 PM. We lost an hour crossing the DAM because Arizona doesn't recognize daylight saving time or the lack thereof so its always the same time in Arizona no matter what the rest of the country decides...and we lost another hour stuck in traffic trying to cross the DAM...and then just when we thought we had clear "sailing" the wind gusts were really strong and made driving from the DAM to Kingman a really white knuckle experience and then HTP took over and drove the rest of the way home...and of course...the wind died down at that point. Anyway, then we got stuck behind some really slow vehicle after Wickenberg that no-one seemed to be able to pass and there were still people willing to risk life and limb to no avail because they still couldn't pass the guy who was driving 45 mph in a 65 mph zone. And this continued all the way to I-17. GRRRR!!!!! But at least we were going 45 mph...at the DAM, we were creeping along at 2 mph or at dead stop until we passed the police checkpoint and the construction. There is a lot of construction and I think everyone decided to leave Las Vegas today to avoid the crowds of returnees tomorrow. Hah! The DAM will be deserted tomorrow! Anyway, we made it. We're home.

We didn't have turkey for Thanksgiving. However, least you think I plan to forego this culinary treat, I should tell you that I put a frozen turkey to thaw in my fridge before we left for Vegas four days ago. It should be ready to cook in two or three more days. By then I may just be hungry again.
