... easy breezy kind of day, the type of day you linger over a great cup of coffee, looking through your most recent jewelry magazines or spending the day wandering the antique stores & then lunch in the tea room with friends or just staying home listening to great music ... yeah A La-Dee-Dah-day
What a fun day today with the gang at Cora Coleman, we had a very special tour today of "Mr. Las Vegas" ranch. Oh and did you happen to catch my photo with him ....AGAIN? He came to one of our parties 2 years ago and his wife took a photo of him and I. Fantastic tour and yes ...he and his wife were really there to say hello to us. The tour was a 3 hour tour and believe me I could have stayed so much longer there was so much to see. Just walking outside around the grounds to see his horses and exotic animals was just breathtaking and peaceful. I can't say enough good things about this day, the tour was great but the friends I was with really helped to. There were a total of 22 of us and what a ball we had during the tour and then all out to lunch. It's just one of these days I will smile about every time I think about it. We invited Wayne to come to our Christmas Party that is next week and he said he was going to really try to stop by. How lucky are we? I love my job.
If you haven't gone to the Las Vegas Neon Museum yet you should and seeing it after dark well it's pretty cool. This weekend I was treated to the tour of 150 of the coolest, oldest signs that told a pretty awesome story of our special town of Las Vegas. It's just up the street from the downtown area and the tour is only an hour, I know it's the holiday season and all but if you have that extra hour especially if you have guests coming from the holidays it would be be a pretty special trip for everyone. You have to make an appointment in advance the tours fill up fast and it would be a shame if you got there and they were sold out.
It's that time again for the whole town to be filled with Cowboys, music and SHOPPING. Yesterday I spent the day at the Mandalay Bay for the annual Cowboy Marketplace,In my opinion truly the best shopping of the 3 venues, there is the Cowboy Christmas event at the Las Vegas Convention Center and also the Stetson Event at the Sands Expo. Im sure you will find something you love at any of these events, it's a fun free day out...that is if you can resist pulling out your credit card. Have fun, stay warm and safe where ever you spend it today.
Well yesterday ended our five days of fun at the Dance Explosion 2015 at the Westgate Hotel. Every day was packed full of dance classes, music playing all day, dancing and laughing with good friends.
2 of the 5 days the dancers were able to take part of a huge flash mob in the lobby....with more than 1400 dancers we pretty much owed that hotel.
Friday night we were offered tickets to a special showing of the Prince Tribute show and so Ronna and I took them up on the offer. The show was great! the music was great and so much fun, this guy gets the entire crowd up on their feet dancing...as if we hadn't already danced 8 hours that day LOL.
I am already looking forward to next year's explosion, if you love music and line dancing you gotta go.
The event starts at 9 am everyday and if you are a die hard the parties go on until the wee hours of the morning. They have thought of pretty much everything...on Sunday morning they have a Sunday service with minister that does about a 3 minute mini sermon and then everybody learns a line dance to a gospel song, then another little sermon and more dancing... and it goes on like this for a full hour, it was quite beautiful to see everyone connecting.
Winding down with a nice glass of wine makes for a perfect week!
Yesterday kicked off the 5 day 5 night Line Dance Explosion. With over 1,400 dancers that signed up it IS EXPLOSIVE. What a fun first day. Dancers from all over the world, Asia, Iceland, England, Ireland ...well it is apparent that we are all the same all over the world. Line dancing is a big big connection for all of us, and it feels so good just to be out dancing with so many from all over the world especially in lieu of what is going on in Paris and other countries.
Here we go Day 2 ..dance, dance, dance.
Gisele being her crazy fun self
Gisele and Sandy...the two who got me into this fun mess.
I had two of my best friends visit from California this weekend, I have known them both for 45 plus years. We have been through pretty much everything together...our first of just about everything you can think of ... first boyfriends, jobs, marriages, kids and yes divorces and we have stayed true friends all these years, we can just pick up right where we left off. Had such a fun great weekend from brunching, bingo, The Jersey Boys, drinking, laughing and lots and lots of jewelry making. Thanks you guys for another fantastic weekend ...can't wait to meet up in San Diego next ....I feel a concert coming on soon.
Another great weekend in California, had a relaxing, fun, beautiful weekend with friends this weekend, rooms right on the beach in Ventura...gotta love it. Up at sunrise every day for my 3 mile walk..quiet and beautiful on this private beach ...sigh.
