Trip

This is one of the reasons for the trip. Being able to watch "the cast" come off. Yea, it's gone and her arm is STRAIGHT!! Also, Nik came along for the ride and he had a doctor's appointment for a mole. So they had quite a day, the two of them. So did we.

Back to our trip -- Towards the last we traveled from way far out in Arizona to Henderson NV. When we got there it was very hot! We always stay at a hotel that serves breakfast. This makes it very handy and fast for us but when we arrived at this particular hotel they were also having a "Manager's Appreciation" for all of the hotel guests. They had a table set up with potato chips, macaroni salad, hot and spicy or regular wings, green salad, dressings and some soda or beer for those that prefer. We were so happy as we didn't really want to hit that traffic that' s so familiar down there. So we were able to eat a quick dinner and hit the room early. Sure was nice after traveling.

But the "biggie" happened when we were getting ready to eat the "appreciation". At the head of the line they had paper plates, plastic utensils and napkins. I picked up the usual things, had chips, mac salad and picked up a couple of wings until I realized they were the "Hot and Spicy" ones. So I gave them to Glen (of course, I did) and I went back into line to wait until they got the others back out there. The young fellow in front of me could not keep anything on his plate. As he picked something up it would either not make it to the plate or some other disasterous thing. I teased him and told him that was o.k., we all had days like that. Well you guessed it, those infamous words had just barely left my mouth when I hit the bottom of my plate and dumped the WHOLE thing right there on that nice clean, white table cloth. I was so stunned, I just stood there (which is really unusual for me, usually when I do something stupid (which is regularly) I can come up with a quick come back and clean it right up, but not this time. I just stood there dumb founded. The two young men behind me jumped into action, one grabbed my plate and I finally came out of the stupor and helped brush all of it onto the plate. Then they escorted it to the trash. I was so horrified, not sure why because I seem to do this lately. But they were sure nice guys and I wish I had had the sense to talk to them but instead I just ducked my head and turned around to the table where Glen was waiting.

Yes, this will rank right up there with one of those "memorable" trips. At least, I won't have a huge clay pot sitting around to remind me constantly.
