Las Vegas!!!

Joe went to Las Vegas for a CFO (chief financial officer) conference last weekend and I tagged along.  We fly out there on Wednesday and returned Saturday night.  The conference was at The Bellagio and that's where we stayed.  Very nice.  This was a view from our room on the 28th floor looking west toward the Red Rock canyons.






Saturday, to burn some time before our return late afternoon flight, we drove out to Red Rock Canyons and went through the park.  Here were some rock climbers.







One night we went and ate at Hard Rock Cafe (we have eaten at ones in various states). Anyway they made us walk across the red carpet and took our picture. We were going "really? Do we have to?"  But the picture actually turned out pretty good so Joe bought it.




More pictures from our room.








This is Chiluly glass art that is in the ceiling of the lobby of the hotel.  Oklahoma City has a huge Chiluly glass art exhibition at the OKC Museum of Art.
I also went down to The Mirage to go into the Kardashian Khaos store.  I bought Kristen a shot glass.  The girls (and I) like to watch Keeping Up With the Kardashian's on TV.





Another view of the pool.

May Happenings

While I was in Spartanburg, Joe went turkey hunting with one of his friends in Southwest Oklahoma.  He got him a turkey - so I guess we are set for Thanksgiving.
 Last Saturday night, we went over to a friend's house to watch a Thunder playoff game.  I tried to take a picture of the "supermoon" but I really didn't think it was that big.  I've seen it a LOT bigger before.  I think in other parts of the world it did look bigger, just not here in Oklahoma.  After the Thunder won the game over the Dallas Mavericks in a "sweep" the boys had to get brooms and act silly.





I also purchased some yarn while in Spartanburg and I'm set up to make another moebius cowl.  I'm going to work on this one while I'm in Las Vegas this coming week.

40th High School Reunion - April 27-28

The weekend of April 26-30, I came home to Spartanburg for my 40th high school reunion.  I had a great time and I enjoyed visiting with my family too.  I just got my group picture in the mail today.  I'm sitting on the front row right behind the fire pit.  I think the final total for that night was 190 people from our class of over 900 showed up. I felt good when I received several emails on Facebook that I looked very good, didn't look my age but looked 10-15 years younger than everyone else, and that everyone enjoyed watching me dance.  Great motivation to keep doing what I'm doing.
