My son has 2 Irish Wolfhounds...puppies The one on the right is only 10 months old and the one on the left is 15 months old. They are GIANT but so nice, my son is in a training program with them to be therapy dogs and will soon be helping by going to the VA to help Veterans and hospitals to help patients...perfect dogs for the cause.

35 years of friendship...how lucky am I?

So much fun this past weekend with my friends from California. Friends for over 35 years and still going strong ....not many can say that but we can. Thanks so much you guys for a fun fun weekend, we sure did a lot in such a short time. Who knew back then a little company called Edwards Healthcare that grew into a Global company known as Baxter Healthcare could bring such great lasting friendships...I am lucky.
Shopping, drinking, eating, pickle ball, movies and Las Vegas shows ....did I say drinking? whew!! so much fun with these girls.

OOps ....she did it again

 Spent a few days in California and went on a tattooing bonding day with my son, he got the Family tattoo that I got in June and I got my finger tattooed....I'm just saying...finger tattoos hurt like hell. Glad it's done Ryan did a fantastic job and I love it

Adele 25

Next month finally after 3 years a  new CD from Adele ...she is better than ever.

My littlest Pumpkin

My Great Grandson Caleb had a rough day looking for the perfect pumpkin for his very first Halloween...looks like he got the best one

Bad Boys Bad Boys...

Fun day out yesterday when my good friend Ronna invited me to go with her to watch the K9 competition at the Orleans Arena. The dogs and trainers came from all over the world and were put through some pretty difficult tasks. Of course Las Vegas won the Top Dog award, I mean really who else could win that award. This is an annual event that is open and free to the public, can't wait to go back next year and see some of the events I missed this year. Thanks Ronna for thinking of me...great fun yesterday.

The dogs are working on command, first they see the "perp" police talk for the bad guy...they go after him until his trainer calls him off. Then he sees a fight and sees his trainer being assaulted and goes for the bad guy. Last he is to go after the bad guy with the gun but stop just before on command of his trainer. So much fun and beautiful dogs.

Question: Whats the Difference between SWAT and K9? K9 doesn't negotiate.

Should I? 

Promises Matter

What a fantastic month.... the day after my sister and cousin left my really good friends from Saudi Arabia arrive. I lived in Riyadh Saudi Arabia for 8 years and during my time there I met Susanna and Yosef, Susanna and I were/are like sisters, we spent nearly every day together and when I left the Kingdom Yosef promised he would  make sure that Susanna and I would always stay in touch. He is a man of his word...they came to Vegas about 10 years ago to visit me and now again with this trip. In between visits we stay in touch via Skype, Whatsup and Facebook. It seems like we have never been apart. 

We crammed in as much as we could in this trip. Yosef wanted to go to the Pawn Stars Shop since he loves that show... Susanna brought her sister Jeane with her and the girls wanted to go to the Las Vegas Design Market and boy that place is beautiful & huge and across from The Smith Center. Susanna owns a boutique in Saudi and was looking for some funky things to go into the shop. We also went to the Shelby Car Museum ...that was cool to see all the vintage American cars. Of course there was the Yardhouse for lunch at the Linq and I got up enough nerve to go on the High Roller.

The last night they were here we took in a really really bad show but still had a great time. It was the best visit ever and I miss them already. Thanks Yosef for keeping your promises, you are the best!

Family Fun

Last week my sister from Portland Oregon and my cousin from Spokane Washington flew in to celebrate my birthday with me. First things first...I needed to get my tattoo touched up and my sister wanted to get a family tattoo with a feather, so happy I did...it looks so much better and love the color on hers. Then off to Tobey Keith's Bar and Grill for the best Chopped BBQ chicken salad ever, and of course we had to do the photo thing at the LINQ, what a crack up. We taught our cousin how to bead a bracelet and to knit. Took a day out to go to Boulder City for some antiquing So much fun to have them with me this year... Thanks you two for everything.
