Lots and Lots of news

I have been crazy busy for the past few weeks and just getting caught up on my blogging duties.
If you want to see what I have been up to check out the past several posts.

Ronna's B'day

Happy 50th Birthday Ronna, had a great time at your party with all your friends on Saturday, thanks for including me.

A crazy month-see the next few posts to catch up with me.

Sunday morning I was able to get 4 tickets for that afternoon to see the 4:00 pm showing of the Lion King. Jackie D., Tanya and Jaci G and myself all met up at the Mandalay Bay for a wonderfully, entertaining afternoon of music and lots and lots of color.
The costumes were amazing! the play was great and so stimulating with so much going on. If you get a chance you have to go see this show it was so good, I would love to go see it again.

Nov. 3rd

November 3rd would have been my father's 85th birthday and he would have loved the idea that my brother and sister and I spent the day with him in celebration. Happy Birthday Dad, may you rest in peace always.

BeadMetaler Annual Tea

Every year I give a tea for all my current customers and close friends, this year I decided to make it an American Tea with an
English twist. Example??? Lemon curd cupcakes with meringue frosting.


Had so much fun and of course when I said hats were optional I just knew that having a tea on the 30th of Oct. I would have a few jokers in the crowd.
There were hats



And then there were hats, thanks ladies for a wonderful day and all your friendship.

Oct 11-16

Left Portland Oregon and flew on to Spokane Washington to visit my cousins, did you know I used to live in Spokane?? I really hated living there, I guess timing was just bad. Had a great visit while in Spokane and the weather was really beautiful, little chilly but not everyone can live in Las Vegas. Sharon took me out with her friends one day to an apple farm for lunch, little out of the city but not too far. Lunch was great and she has the nicest friends. Spent the next few days just going to dinners, and lunches and visiting with her sister and her daughter and grand kids.

Oct. 6th -10th

Wow! what a crazy few weeks I have had. I feel like I am so behind on my posts that I should just give up but ....I'm not gonna do that I am going to try to catch you up on what I have been up to since my last post.

October 6th I flew off to Portland Oregon to visit my sister and my brother-in-law in their new home. The first night I was there my sister had her tap dancing class to go to so my brother in law Steve and I went to his monthly Blues meeting. It was kind of cool because I normally go out with the girls here in Vegas to listen to music on Wed. nights and this way I didn't miss a beat ...ha ha ha.
My sister and I had signed up for a class at Art & Soul in Portland Art & Soul we both took a class in rolled milled bracelets ....didn't really learn anything new but still had a fun day playing with lace and making lace patterns on copper and we met some really nice people. My great niece Ashley lives in Portland and we met up with her for coffee one day ....can't believe she just turned 21, isn't she a doll???
