Well, here goes my first try at my blog...thanks to Christopher and many, many thanks to Tracy!!
My olde pal Karen, a Mom from St. Matthew days, and I took off for Las Vegas for a winter get away in something new....something sleek...and something that was very difficult at times to keep under 93 mph! (sorry, Karen...I don't think you knew about that!!). After a very mellow trip down I-5, where I put Karen to work serving me cranberry juice and goodies (hey, you have to keep the driver happy), we pulled into Caesars Palace and were welcomed back with smiles and an upgrade to a mini-suite with TWO BATHROOMS! You know you have arrived when there are two complete bathrooms for two people. Wow! Of course, we immediately checked out the Forum Shoppes and had our eyes on a pair of Jimmy Choo sandals for $898.98. Of course, the sales associate dissed us immediately when we walked in with our $20 purses and our ratty looking shoes...oh well, it doesn't cost anything to look! The next evening we attended Cher's performance at Caesars...and let me tell you, that woman looks fantastic and sings like she did 30 years ago....she does 16 costume changes and she's all over that stage like a performer years younger! We were so impressed. An added thrill...guess who was in the audience that night? Celine! My eyes were going crazy watching one on stage and one in the audience! The next evening we went to the Beatles-Love (Cirque de Soleil) and that was absolutely over the top fantastic. Everything has to come to an end, so we packed it all up the next morning and drove home. Anyone ever stop at Peggy Sue's Diner in Barstow? It is very cheesy but so much fun. All done up like the 50's with every pop star showcased in the diner and then also in their gift shop. They have the best old time burgers and milk shakes and the place is always jam packed...of course, when you see Barstow.....where else is there to eat? When you get depressed, you can perk up if you think...."Well, things could be worse....I could be living in Barstow".
OK....so now I am going to add a couple of pictures from the trip (they are self explanatory). If this blog works, then I will add another to show what changes I've done to the house....if you're interested.
