Slept pretty good last night. It took awhile to figure out the shower, but finally got the water temperature right and the shower direction right. I shaved, dressed and went down to exercise room and tried out the tread mill. I pushed the two mile per hour button which seemed pretty slow. I then pushed the four mile per hour button and it really took off. I quickly put one foot on each side before I fell off the back. I finally got the speed right and walked for five minutes. it was a pretty good work out. the man on the machine to my right helped me to get it going right. He was a professional speaker in his mid seventies. We discussed what we were doing. He served a mission.
The Hyatt Hotel served a full breakfast with a different menu for each morning. I ate a lot. We then began our drive to Las Vegas. I read 2 Chronicles much of the time from my I pad. Nyleen was driving and she pulled off the freeway at Moapa. We had planned to drive to the place where Robert and Jeanne lived for five years. I turned my phone on to the GPS to guide us there. We changed directions several times and found the road to the cemetery. It was on the bluff above river bottom. It had changed a lot since the last time we were there. Below is one of the headstones.
To the east of the cemetery there is a large nursery where palm trees are grown. At the north end of the cemetery inside the nursery fence are pomegranate bushes. We were able to reach over the fence and pick some. The were way past being ripe and were cracked and dried up. The leaves were almost gone and very few fruits.
Carol and Nyleen are inspecting some pomegranates that they had picked. We picked several more and put them in the car.
We made our way to where Robert's house used to be. There is a greenhouse there and some large garages for equipment.
We were looking for the recreational facilities that the church owns at the warm springs. We got on a paved road and followed it the church property. A big arching sign said The Warm Springs Ranch. We walked in and found two beautiful swimming pools. There were four women in the pool. We visited with them for some time. They invited us to come in and swim. We didn't bring our swim suits.
Carol and Nyleen are on the other side of the second pool.
We then drove to North Las Vegas following the promptings of the GPS. When were got closer the directions took us on a much longer route. We visited a while and then started to pick lemons and limes. The lemon tree was on her side of the fence. There were a lot of lemon on branches that hung on the neighbors side of the fence. Anne got permission from her neighbor to pick in his yard. We got a couple of totes full. Nyleen is picking as shown in the photo below.
We finished picking and spent some time visiting. Below is Fred, Anne, and Miles. Fred has a walker and can get along with a cane and some assistance.
Below is Nyleen and Fred.
Here is Anne, Miles, and Carol.
It was time to eat. We drove to pizza place, called Blaze Pizza. They make a thin shell pizza and the customer gets to select what goes on the pizza. I didn't count how many, but there were a lot. They were put in the oven. They soon called us to pick up our pizza. You can see in the picture that there is more than one person can eat. Miles and Nyleen shared theirs and they ate it all. Carol and I and Fred and Anne ate only half. The other half was put in a box and Anne took them home with her. Those in the photo starting from the left: Anne, Miles, Nyleen, Carol, and Fred. I took the picture.
We headed back to St George. We given the right directions to get to Highway 215. We come to the fork. We could go east or west on 215. West was my quick assessment. That was wrong. We should have turned to the east but didn't. We drove four miles or so before we were able to turn around and come back. We got on 215 going east and drove to Mesquite where we gassed up. We did not turn at the right time to get back to I-15. We made another U-turn and got on the freeway. It was six when we got back to the hotel. Miles and Nyleen went to home of a friend.
