Flowers in Utah

Just a quick post. We are back from our trip to Utah, it seemed that we got there and had to return. Can you believe the only pictures I took were of flowers, that's because I don't have any here in Vegas. Thought you might like to see a couple.






The above picture is from my daughters front yard. She now has a garden, being raised in Las Vegas, this is totally out of the box for her.

The other two pictures are from my sisters yard. One of her favorite hobbies is gardening. Don't know how she does it, with all of her other projects. Helped her start a blog, she is just trying to get everything together, can't wait to see all of her beautiful projects.

Today is my Friday, so there are some new projects that I have on my to do list. Want to get a couple of challenges completed, that will be my focus on Tuesday and Wednesday. While in Utah I got some new stamps and papers, can't wait to try them, also new texture plates and stencils, can't wait.

Have a great Sunday.

Wayne Newton

Billy and I were able to check out the "Midnight Idol's" show last night. Gayle one of Billy's long time friends called to see if we would like to see the show. I had seen his show years and years ago when he was at the Frontier (which has been torn down and replaced by the Trump Towers). His show was at the MGM and believe it or not even though I have lived in Vegas for for 50 years, I had never been to a show at the new MGM Hotel, this seemed to be the perfect opportunity to see a legend. We don't go to the strip very often, even though we both work in the transportation industry, you would think we would take in the sites more often, not true, as a resident you try to stay away from the strip as much as possible.



We met some other lady friends of Gayle's, Billy was the only gentlemen, so he was a little overwhelmed but handled the situation very well, I wouldn't have expected anything different. The show was great, lots of "oldie" but "goodie" songs. Wayne played the piano, guitar, fiddle (incredible), and the banjo.



After the show we went to have a bite to eat and walked around in a circle, literally, to find the Studio Cafe. The MGM is huge and we went in the wrong direction, finally found the resturant after taking the long way around. We spent time talking and laughing with friends, which we just don't do enough of, everyone is so busy in their lives it seems we just don't take the time to spend it with our friends. All in all we had a very nice time, thanks Gayle for asking us to see a marvelous show and especially to spend time with you!

Changes

This can be addictive, I've changed the layout at least a half dozen times already. The picture on the header was taken last year, my aunt has a beautiful backyard and I thought it might be a great header. Let me know what you think!!

Spring is in the Air

Las Vegas doesn't really have a spring, last week believe it or not there was a little snow, today it is hot. Decided yesterday to paint the guest room, in hopes that we would have company sometime this summer. Next step is to put down new flooring. Will be working on some cards also, my grandson Adam has a birthday coming up, when I complete the money cards, I'll share it with everyone.
