September 8, 2012

We were late leaving Elko this morning, due to a mix up in a prescription that I need.  I will see if I can solve the problem when we get to Reno.  The challenges just never stops.

We just passed a sign that read “Report shooting from highway” and listed a phone number to call.  That’s a new one for us.  This must truly be the wild west.

We got to Reno at 3:30 and parked at Walmart, although we knew we couldn’t stay there overnight.  I left Bill to take a nap and went to one of my favorite craft stores, Ben Franklin Crafts.  Imagine my disappointment when I got there and discovered that the store was closing.

Now you might think I would of been thrilled with their 30% off everything sale.  But truthfully, I would rather forego the savings and still have the store.

While I was there I met two clerks in the fabric department.  They were fun to talk to and they, too, are saddened by the closing.  Sniff, sniff!  I was glad to have made the new friendships, but dispirited by the fact that it couldn’t continue.  Double sniff, sniff!

We went to In N Out for supper.  It had been a long time since we’ve had the good fortune to eat there.  Happy tummes!  Yum, yum, yum.

After getting the motorhome full of diesel at the station at Walmart, we drove to the Atlantis Casino to park for the night.  We’ve stayed here before so we knew just where to park the “big beast.”
