Viva Las Vegas

 Vegas is like a world of its own. You lose track of time, and sense of place. We spent 6 crazy nights there this week. It was beautiful, dazzling, and full of any number of temptations. There were shows (Zumanity and Pin-Up), delicious food, dazzling displays and fabulous company, as celebrated the first year of our married life. This is just a smattering of what we saw/did while we were there.

Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho...

So welcome to my party. Grab a butterbeer ( Killian's Irish red with a shot of butterscotch shnapps) and enjoy. Welcome to our home.  A barrage of bats on our stairway wall.  Your illustrious host. I'm a saloon girl. Could you tell?  The back of me.  Charlene (Goddess), Chelsea and Rachel (Bee) watch me give Bobbi and tarot reading.  Amanda, Mike and Chris...just hanging out.  Charlene and Rachel still watching me do readings...
