It's Easter weekend already! This seems to be a very early Easter this year! While it's been pretty quiet around here, there are a few things happening this week...
- Las Vegas is open for business (see photo above of the Golden Nugget pool!).
- It's going to be a little over 90 degrees in Las Vegas this weekend (I love the heat!).
- Our latest couple of visitors just left. They were vaccinated and ready to go on vacation so they came to visit us which was a nice change of pace.
- My allergies are killing me. Allergy season comes early in the desert!
- The IRS reversed their rules on taxing unemployment so it looks like I may get a refund on the taxes I paid on my unemployment from last year (we already filed our taxes so the refund will just be sent to our bank account automatically).
- I was walking around the outlet mall this morning and went into my favorite store (Kipling) and there was a famous (?) YouTuber from Thailand doing her livestream from the store and showing off different Kipling bags. Seriously, it is never boring in Las Vegas!
- While our guests were here they wanted to look at new houses as they are thinking about moving here so we went along to look with them. The houses we went to look at in a new subdivision by our house were $700k to $800k (!) for what seemed to be pretty basic houses (3500 to 4000 sq ft). That is a crazy price for a house (IMHO)!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Easter does seem early this year, but Tommy says it is not. You do have the most interesting happenings. And, that is very hot to be so early in the year. Many Easters here are cool, too cool for cute Easter dresses alone. I always love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's odd watching people getting ready for Easter on various TV shows and they are still wearing heavy winter coats. Meanwhile it feels like the middle of summer here!
DeleteIm sure your area will be swamped next fall with travelers. We postponed a November trip indefinitely but haven't rescheduled.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looks that way! I follow this guy's YouTube channel to see how crazy it is around our city and his video from last night showed that apparently everyone is coming to Vegas now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvyqpjIsRyE
DeleteWe are waiting for our daughter to get vaxxed and as soon as she does, she's booking a flight to come see us. We can't wait! Happy Easter to you and Tom!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Today they opened up vaccines in our state for everyone over 16. Hopefully your daughter will get vaxxed and be able to see you guys soon!
DeleteGee and I thought our $60,000 mobile home was alot!
ReplyDeleteHouse prices in Las Vegas have gone from crazy to insane over the past year. With so many people moving from California, the locals are getting priced out of the market here!
