Shania ...Wow

What a night last night was ...all I can say is WOW! went to the Shania Twain show at Ceasers Palace.
Her sets, costumes, lighting, dancers and band were out of this world, and oh did I mention the beautiful white horse she was riding on stage? She is back and better than ever, her show was outstanding and the way she interacts with the audience you can just feel she loves every minute of it.
What a great show, if you get a chance you have to get over to see her. Thanks House Seats for another great show with the best seats in town.

Poor Little Rizzo

Friday after my class Greg noticed a big bump on Rizzo's left shoulder that wasn't there the day before so we rushed him over to Dr. George and he said it looked like cancer and needed to take it off ASAP.
Lucky for Rizzo we caught it in time and it hadn't attached to any other organs and Dr. George was able to get it all out. Rizzo stayed 2 nights in the Dr. office and is now home recovering. Thanks Dr. George you are the best vet in town.

Aloha

Last week our son (Ben) and his girlfriend Julie had planned to come for a visit. They are both from Hawaii but Julie's job took her to San Francisco about 1.5 years ago. Now they have decided to move back to Hawaii and that means we unfortunately we won't be able to see them as often. On Mother's day our daughter (Vickey) called to wish me a happy Mother's Day and I told her Greg was on the phone with her brother making plans for him to come that following Wed. Vickey decided she would get a flight out so we could all be together. What a great visit we had, I can't believe how old our children are now....I guess it is bound to happen. Thanks Ben, Julie and Vickey for the best visit ever.

I'm on Fire

What a fun day I had at one of our local glass blowing studios. I was really there just to check the place out while on a tour and they volunteered me to take a quick lesson. They taught me how to make a twisted glass leaf and it was pretty easy and lots of fun. If you have a chance check them out: http://studioroyal.com

Who Knew?

Who the heck knew we have the ONLY distillery in Nevada? I went on a tour today of the Las Vegas Distillery where they make vodka, bourbon, rum & Gin using local products. The distillery is small in comparison to the distillery I visited while I was in Scotland but hey...WE GOT THE ONLY ONE IN THE STATE. These guys were so nice and spent so much time with us and have huge plans for their passion.

Billy Elliot

Yesterday was another great day out at the Smith Center to see Billy Elliot. I'd seen the movie several years ago and really enjoyed it and so when I saw it was part of the 2013 Broadway series at the Smith Center I was thrilled. What made it even better was that I met a new friend there...actually she is a good friend of a friend. Jerry B has known Susan for years and for whatever reason we had never met so I asked Jerry, "does she have 3 eyes or something"? from then on we have referred to her as "3-eyed Susan" and before you get all up in arms about it she knew it and thought it was funny. Jerry decided it was time we meet so she generously gave up her ticket to Susan. I was already in the theater when she arrived and when we finally met the first thing I said was.... oh wow you must have just had some major surgery done and you look great, and she replied "yes" I just had that 3rd eye removed. We had a great time and she is a wonderful person and I am so glad we finally met. Thanks Jerry for bringing yet another wonderful person into my world.
