Day One Hundred Forty Six 2013

VIVA LAS VEGAS!




















Sin City….I mean, Las Vegas….is hot, windy, crowded, congested, colorful and noisy~all on steroids. Neil and I rented a little car, which turned out to be a good thing, and spent the day driving and walking and exploring this alien place [to me anyway~I’ve never been anywhere]. We’ll be here for a few days, staying at the Mirage [our room is at the end of that long hallway in the last picture]. Looking forward to seeing the Cirque du Soleil Beatles Love show Monday evening and a trip to the Grand Canyon Tuesday. And maybe I’ll drop a quarter into a one-armed bandit before we leave.

Day One Hundred Forty Five 2013

Ever Lovin Saturday!

Neil and I are spending the night with daughter Kelly, son in law Kerry and grandson Knox. Murfreesboro is all set up for their Memorial Day celebration. This field of flags was pretty breathtaking, as far as the eye could see.

Knox loves this way cool playground/park near their home and was excited to be there.

He was a blur coming down that slide so fast. He loves the slides.

Knox says ‘Happy Saturday, everybody!’ Summer has officially begun!

Happy T G I F, y’all!

Day One Hundred Forty Three 2013

School is out. The grandpeeps Elijah and Shelby were hanging with me today. This morning they played with their iPad and Nintendo 3DS. Right before lunch, they flipped on the TV and ended up on Animal Planet, watching ‘Gator Boys’, which I’d never seen. As you might guess, it’s a ‘reality’ show where some guys and a couple of girls hunt and capture alligators and remove them from somebody’s backyard swamp or swimming pool or garage or wherever [even one small one from a restaurant fountain]. They take them to an alligator sanctuary so the gators can live in joy and love and peace and harmony with other gators. Not a bad deal, actually. And that’s what we did literally the whole day ~ watch ‘Gator Boys’, one right after the other. Apparently, it’s Monster Week on Animal Planet. We enjoyed being slugs all day, but I have to admit, I’m a little burned out on gators right now.

“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few.”
~Emily Dickinson

Tonight was senior night at Fazoli’s ~ a spaghetti or fettuccini dinner for 3 bucks. Woo Hoo!

Beautiful sky this evening ~ snapshots never do it justice.
