Shania....Yes again

Last night was all about friends, fun and music. Shania is getting ready to rap up her Las Vegas Show after being here for 2 years and what a show it is. My friend Colleen's sister is in town visiting and my friend June has a birthday coming up so this made a perfect excuse to get a Girls Night Out on the town in Vegas on a Sunday night. Fun fun night girls thanks!

Good Morning Las Vegas

Honestly some days don't cha just wake up feeling great and want to dance?

PBR Ride em cowboy

OMG last night was one of the best events I have been to. Got tickets to the Last Cowboy Standing event at the Mandalay Bay. This is a 2 day event that kicks off the PBR circuit, it started on Friday night with 50 of the best bull riders in the nation and by last night they were down to 25. Each rider has to stay on the bull for 8 seconds to advance to the next round until it's only the last cowboy standing ...and he won $100.000. Not only did we have the best seats in the house (5 rows up right in front of the shoot) but we also got to see the legendary bull "Bushwacker" ride in his last PBR.
What a night and what a show, can't wait to do this again.

'The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess' 2013 - 2014 National Tour

Last night I was at the Smith Center for Porgy & Bess, it wasn't the first time for me and this show and I'm sure it won't be the last. Great show and great music and great company.

Earth Day 2014

Earth Day 2014 is actually next Tuesday but this years Earth Day movie came out a little early and Greg and I went to see it today. The movie this year is called Bears and it was fantastic. I always go to the Earth Day movies because I love seeing  all the great photography that Disney uses for these movies. Places I have never been and seeing the bears up close and personal is a treat. If you get a chance take a few hours out to catch it, you will be glad you did and you will learn how incredibly smart bears really are.

Ronald McDonald House

Today I spent the day at the Ronald McDonald House here in Las Vegas. I knew a little bit about the services but really did not know how much this organization does for the families who need it. The house itself is beautiful, located just off Sahara on between Decature and Jones (strange area I know but it's great). The house can accomodate up to 12 families and all their needs. Food is all provided for free as is transportaion to and from the hospitals and they can stay as long as their child is under the care of a doctor. They have a huge beautiful living room, family room full huge kitchen game room and every guest room has it's own bath. This Ronald McDonald house is the only one in the U.S. that has another program called "lunch on us". Volunteers everyday come in and prepare 170 sack lunches for families who are at the UMC or Sunrise hospital during the lunch hour visiting sick children. The lunches are placed in hand decorated up-lifting lunch bags and delievered every day to these two hospitals. So much more goes on at the Ronalad McDonald House I just couldn't believe all the good stuff they offer to families. Anyone is welcome to volunteer for the house or visit for a tour. Really proud to say we have a Ronald McDonald House here in our city.
