Frozen in Nevada

Our 4^th week at Amazon is now behind us; only 2 remaining.  Winter caught up to us this week with a couple of snowstorms and cold temperatures.  We’re getting darn frustrated with low single digit temps overnight.  The last 2 nights have been problematic for our poor motorhome; frozen pipes both nights.  Luckily, we had purchased an additional space heater at Walmart on Friday night in case we needed it and we’ve used it in an outside compartment to warm the pipes.  We’ve decided to leave it there until the temps rise to the double digits.

 

Last week was a 5 day, 50 hr week.  Hard work but we’re meeting lots of folks and the extra money will be nice.  We had Sunday and today off and now we’re scheduled for another 50 hr week.  We’ll be done on the 21^st which is getting closer.

 

Today we’re having some neighbors at the campground over.  They are from Illinois and have a 2004 Meridian motorhome like ours but theirs has 1 more slideout.  They’re coming over for coffee this morning then we’ll be doing errands until we go to visit Bob’s cousin Vicky this afternoon.  We found out that Vicky and Chris moved here from Ohio about 1 month ago (about the time we first got here).  We’re going to their house today and then out for dinner.  It’s so great to connect with relatives and friends along the way!

 

Last night we went to a Fantasy on Ice performance with Bill and Ogie at the El Dorado casino downtown.  It was a great show and a nice way to celebrate the season.  The casino was beautifully decorated!
