Turned on

OMG I bought a lathe a week ago and nothing else is getting done around here. Love this wood turning stuff. This week I've made a lot of mistakes and have done a lot of practicing and finally have 3 projects to show for it. The eagle pen is all inlay and the other two projects are seam rippers.

Rich Little In Las Vegas

Last night I was out with friends to see Rich Little at the Tropicana...remember Rich Little from the 70's-80's? Seems like he worked with everyone one who was anyone in "The day". I had a few good friends who had said they wanted to see his show so I told them I would pick up my House Seats tickets and we would all go. What a nice surprise, his show was fabulous! He is so talented and still so funny. If you haven't seen him and you live in Vegas try to take in this show you won't be disappointed.

What have I gotten myself into?

Dirty Girl Run...here I come April 2016

Cabaret at The Smith Center

After a seriously fun morning my head still reeling of tools, colors and all the possibilities of wood turning how could I expect anything more than that? I spent the evening at the Smith Center Cabaret theater. Invited by some very good friends out for dinner and an amazing night of music with Clint Holmes and Domenick Allen. Only my second time seeing a Clint Holmes show and each show I know I am becoming a fan ...one more show and I think it classifies me as a groupie. Joined on stage was his very good friend Domenick Allen and wow! the two together are so great together. Each month Clint Holmes plays and brand new show with a theme, last time I saw him he played all James Taylor music and last night it was all music about different cities, states and countries ...all songs we know and love. The balance between the two musicians was magic, besides singing Domenick also played the flute and Sax. Loved that show and can't wait to see Clint in April. If you haven't seen a show in that little Cabaret theater you are really missing out. Thank you so much once again Betty and Steve my day was full of happiness and music...Love those kind of days.

Seriously Fun Day

What a fun day today! was able to take a semi-private wood turning class today from an excellent teacher...thanks Ken and Gisele. We started with a chunk of wood and turned it into a beautiful pen, mine is on the left and Gisele's is on the right. The entire process was amazing, I can't believe I made such a beautiful thing.

20 Years of River Dance

Last night I went with a good friend to the Smith Center to see a great performance of River Dance. I saw this about 20 years ago with it first opened, love to watch dancers and WOW these people can dance. Thanks Ronna had such a fun time and I am glad we decided to "roll the dice" and brave the weather.

Whirl Wind Weekend...too much fun

What a fun fun 24 hours with my California bestie of 48 years. Judi flew in from San Diego Saturday morning so she could take my Sunday morning class and boy did we cram a lot into that short visit. One of the things we did was took in the Beatles Cirque show. I had seen it 10 years ago when if first opened and Judi had never seen it. Great seats and the show is so fun, who doesn't know and love every Beatle song ever written. Can't wait for the next adventure.
