If it's Mother's Day....
...I'm in New London. After this week we get to go home. I'm sure my 3 "harried" days at home a while back count for something this month.
BTW...as I recall, I left you all thinking my PINK shoes ( for the wedding)weren't pink at all...well I finally figured it all out. Even the bridal shop mentioned that they looked fine in their florescent lights...well there in lies the key. They WERE fine in that light but in natural light or incandesant light they were PINK. Not too many churches have florescent lights doncha know. geesh. I WILL be returning them.
Las Vegas was an experience...I don't really need to go back, although I never did manage to see the fountain show at the Bellagio...we were there either too early or it was windy...oh yeah, once we drove by and it was too late. I'll survive.
Wednesday night we went to the older section to see the light show on Fremont Street. I liked that well enough and the atmosphere down there wasn't quite as chaotic as the strip. Of course, I spent quite a bit of time at the Flamingo Hotel...I'll try to find some photos sometime along.
Thursday night, we had a private concert by Bad Company and Paul Rodgers. I hate to keep saying this, but I missed the 70s and 80s! I barely tolerated the music and recognized only two songs they played...one was a Beatles song and the other was Jimi Hendrix...geesh.
I do know that I could have an itty bitty problem when it comes to the slot machines. Not that I expect to win or anything although I did get a $40, a $50 and a $93 win....I also only ended up with maybe $20. I was feeling fine about all of that...I had my entertainment out of that money so I didn't mind not cashing out as one of my cronies, Anita, kept after me to do. Poor Woman...I thought she was going to stroke on me a few times...right Anita? Anyway, what really got to me was today when I got change at Costco....I looked at those quarters in a whole new light!!!!!!!! Yikes...I'm afraid Foxwoods may just be a little too close to me down here.
Happy Mother's Day out there......I woke up in Stamford to the tune of Grandma Fran....come get me. Works for me. I got a great photo album, picture frame and a sand chair to carry with me to the beach down the road. I'm all set.
I also got Tivo......Greg just finished setting it up....we'll see if we like it or not.
Have a fine day all...........
