Across The River!!
Now that I live in Bullhead City, AZ I am right at the Colorado River. It is beautiful and the water is so clear and clean. This is a mellow town with a low crime rate and the cops don't ever make it out to the street unless there is a call with problems.On the other side is Laughlin, NV where a pioneering man started a city named after himself and started building some casinos since gambling is legal in Nevada! There are about 8 or 9 and they are quite large with game rooms loaded with gambling 1-armed bandits and sports betting (just like Las Vegas), dance halls, bars and the hotels. It's quite a sight to see! The clientele are the senior citizen's that don't want to go to Las Vegas because it's a far drive.
In these 2 towns, California, Nevada and the Arizona all touch and it is referred to as the Tri-State area. So, the seniors don't need to go to glitz town to enjoy the area. There's also lots of water sports like boating and skiing. And needless to say!! FISHING!!!
I don't go over to Laughlin too much because I don't gamble. But once in awhile I go see the Pro games in the casinos on their giant screens. The Riverside Casino has the best array of sets. You can watch every game in progress on Sundays.
NYE was quite a spectacle but the only thing I "heard" was the pyrotechnic display. The fireworks exploded and at 12 am (YES, Arizona is in Mountain time and Nevada is in Pacific time) Nevada time it woke me up. I laughed because I knew there were a whole lot of people partying and watching the fireworks. I just went back to sleep.
I like it here so I have found a new home. More to come as it warms up, yes it gets a little cold here but it's not bone chilling cold where the humidity is higher, so I hibernate alot!
I miss my kids but I call them frequently and they will come and visit me so I am ok with that! OK, bye for the moment to my pals and Kyamigo! Til the next blog!!

Good to hear from you. I do miss the kids but they're grown up! I think I would have liked to live in a year round warm climate but with the kids "I'm stuck" close by!! Hee Hee!
On the other hand I have great kids. They're all successful and I am very blessed.
I hope you had some blessed holidays!
I will keep on keeping on!!

Hello my pal. I'm having a blast!! Same NYE wishes to you too!!
LJ!!!!!
I'm very happy to hear from you. The Russian River trip has just stalled momentarily. I don't know when it will happen but I will still be there and I expect you there to meet my (future) wife.
Arizona is nice. It's cold but the sun shines and the air is dry which beats So Cal and No Cal to bits in the "stay warm" issue.
I don't comment too often on your blogs but I am a regular fan of yours! So keep on blasting, GIRL!!
Please tell me more about it, on pm? Thanks Ed.
I know it will (Russian River) always be there, waiting for us. We will go to Lake Sonoma, too, which is a very beautiful place.
Take care. I will be so happy to meet with the both of you Ed, and you will meet my children, too.
