| Mon. Dec. 28, 2009 – Good morning from Pahrump. Today we went to the bank and then to WalMart. We had to get a pair of sandals for Danny. His big toe is still really sore from his slip off the step of the Disneyland train on Thanksgiving. He has been wearing his sock and flip flops. Not the best look so the sandals will look better and give him some protection for his toe. When we came back from WalMart we had lunch and then went to the Winery for some wine tasting and a tour. The winery is only about ½ block from our motor home and it has taken us 9 days to get over there. The wine tasting was great. We do really like the Pahrump Desert Blush, Symphony, and the Burgandy. The tour of the winery was really interesting. The owner, Gretchen, gave us the tour. She told us about how this little winery got here in Pahrump and why they only have about 1 ½ acre vineyard. First of all that is all the space they have and they only make one wine from their own grapes. It is the White Zin. It sells for $75.00 per bottle. We did not buy one of those! They import grapes from vineyards in California and Oregon to make their wines. We asked why in the world did they build a winery clear out here in Pahrump. She said that the original owners wanted to build a winery in an out of the way destination and because of the Nevada law that says that you can’t have a winery, brothel, or sell fireworks in a city where they are 100,000 people or more – hence they built in Pahrump. Crazy law they say but that is the law. You can have a vineyard anyplace. Page 51 The tour took and hour and it was so very informative and enjoyable. When we left the tour we walked back to the motor home. WOW, it is COLD here tonight. Danny thinks it is going to snow tonight. Oh my gosh I hope not. I want it to be able to leave on Wed. and we do have to cross over the pass. I say it is a mountain pass but the people around here say that you go “Over the hump to Pahrump” from Las Vegas. It is truly more than a hump! Made a pork chop, veggies and a salad for dinner. Danny and I share one pork chop. It is cost effective and we don’t need to eat that much. We are trying to cut down on the food we eat and lose those unwanted pounds. While at Costco the other day we bought some Acai tablets. It says they are helpful at losing weight and cleaning your system and you will feel better! I am all for that. Have taken them for 2 days now and feel pretty good. Suppose to tell a difference in 10 days. I am looking forward to that. Watched the football game between Minnesota and Chicago. Great game to watch and Brett Farve is really something to watch at 40 years old. But, Minnesota lost by a field goal. It was a great overtime game. What a way to end the 2009 Monday football season. Now I am looking forward to the playoffs and the Super Bowl. Have to make sure we are in a campground where we either get cable or we can set up our satellite! Sure don’t want to miss the Super Bowl. Hmmm, wonder what teams will be playing this year! Am sure the Broncos will not play – darn. Oh well, am sure it will be fun to watch. Well, I think we are going to go to the Brothel Museum tomorrow. That should be an adventure. Can’t believe it is almost time for us to leave Pahrump and that 2009 is almost over. Hope 2010 is going to be filled with exciting adventures and fun stuff to do and see. Goodnight from Pahrump. Lynda click on this link to see our page http://www.camphostcouple.com |
