More fun with Mom today. Although it was just my normal 2 days off it's been like a vacation for me too. After a leisurely morning where she read and smoked while I didn't and did some yoga instead we headed off to the Olive Garden for their soup & salad special. Do you know about this? For $5.98 you get all the soup (3 choices), salad and breadsticks you can eat. And you even get a chocolate mint for desert. It was perfect.
To burn off this fuel we headed out to Lake Mead to hike/run the Tunnel Trail. It was a warm 90 degrees by the lake and a beautiful day for viewing wild flowers, the blue water and mostly blue sky.
That was enough outdoor activity for both of us and a quiet evening at home was all we could muster in the Entertainment Capital of the World.
"He who knows what sweets and virtues are in the ground, the waters, the plants, the heavens, and how to come at these enchantments, is the rich and royal man."
