I've been encouraged by friends to establish a blog to keep track of our adventures as we prepare to spend the winter of '08-09 in Las Vegas. Helen has been working the phones to set up our utilities at the apartment - Wellington Meadows. It's the same complex we stayed in last year, though we'll be in a different apt. unit. Our address there will be 9550 West Sahara, Suite 1136, Las Vegas NV 89117. I've been busy getting the car prepped to make the cross-country drive and today I took her wheelchair and 3-wheel walker to have some preventive maintenance done before we leave. Last year one of her walkers broke a brake cable and it took 3-4 weeks to get it repaired. Don't want that to happen again if we can avoid it.
