Volleyball Fun

 I really don't know what I was thinking or drinking when I decided to sign up for a volleyball league. Friday night was our first game and seeing how I haven't played since high school I wasn't sure if my teammates would kick me off the team after the first game. I made it through both matches and they even invited me back next week, so it looks like I will be spending my Friday nights at Sunset Park play volleyball this spring, maybe I will even get some arm muscles!

Jagger and Bowie are in the house

Bowie's home.... I adopted a sister for Jagger since he is such a wild one...he is going on 6 months old now, I can't hardly believe it. I found a playmate for him on Craig's list in hopes that it will keep him busy and calm him down a bit. I have never had two cats at once...ever. She is  6 weeks old and really tiny but just a little sweetheart....for now that is. Meet Bowie.

Bowie - 8 weeks

Jagger- 6 months

Gimme Shelter ....and so we did

So this week Greg and I decided to adopt another kitty, yup call us crazy but we both really missed Rizzo  around the house, and with Greg being sick we figured it would give us something to be happy about. We found him at our local shelter and he was "The One" from the moment I picked him up he snuggled right up with me and I knew he was ours. His name is "Jagger" of course how could we not go with that name?
He is 7 weeks old and such a nice kitten and just knowing he will be safe and sound with us makes it all the better.

Bad Boys Bad Boys...whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

A few months ago I set up a tour for the Seniors at the Cora Coleman Senior Center where I work to take a tour of the Detention Center with my good friend "LT" ...Lieutenant Wiseman. Last week a bus load of us drove into the parking lot to meet our tour guide. Wow! what a eye opener that was, Ronna took us just about everywhere and told us so many facts about the system and what each department does at the detention center. I must say it was a little scary being around all the inmates and then to top it off we had a "COPS" moment when Ronna was giving us the tour in the booking area. One of the inmates waiting to be taken upstairs started mouthing of to her on how she shouldn't be telling us everything....well one word from Lt Wiseman and 2 other cops took him out and put him in "the hole" ...well not really the hole but it was an isolated cell. These cops really work as a team and Ronna is "the Big Boss" over there. Thanks Ronna everyone was so impressed with you and all your fellow officers and we are so lucky to have you on the force and as our friend.

Keep Portland Weird.....I didn't say it "They did" but I do own the t-shirt.

Just home from a quick 3 day trip to Portland to see my sister and brother in law. I didn't go to Voodoo donuts this trip but I have been there...long lines most every day for these donuts.
Beautiful weather the past few days it was so nice to get out of our Las Vegas Heat. Thanks Dennie & Steve for a great trip and all the moral support - love you both.

Cottonwood Cove

What a wonderful way to relax just an hour away from town. This is our second time staying at Lake Mohave and it won't be our last.
The weather was just beautiful and the water was so so warm. The hotel is nice and the rooms are clean, only 24 rooms and each room has it's private patio that is open right on the shore. You can bring your own boat, rent a boat, rent a kayak or a paddle boat. There is also a small cafe and store on the property.  If you live in Las Vegas and want a nice inexpensive get away this is the place to go.
