Vegas Baby

Fred and I spent a long week-end in Las Vegas. We had a great time. Our major activity was playing cards. We did fairly well. I am saving my winnings for our Diva trip to Stamford, Conn. The Diva's and I are taking a camera class with CK magazine. We are really excited and have been looking forward to it for a long time.

We attended the Donny and Marie show and thoroughly enjoyed it. The big disappointment was Cher. We had second row, center seats. She got sick and had to cancel. BooWhoo!! I was really looking forward to that concert.

My sister, Alyse, and her family meet us in Vegas. We had dinner together at the Hofbrauhaus House. It was okay but when you have been to the real one in Germany it is hard to pretend.

To see some of my pictures from Vegas click on the photo above. Please excuse these pictures. I took my point and shoot for the small size and weight. Next time I will stick with my DSLR. About my pictures, the pictures above is of glasses that I wish I had bought. They are so funny. I could have had a good laugh with those. The picture of the girl with the rose on her boob, Fred wanted to smell the flowers. All the girls in the Hofbrauhaus House were in traditional dress. We were staying at the Venetian with it own St. Marks Square. The man with the real puppet was great. There is a picture of Alyse and her family. It was a great four day trip but good to be home.

The glasses are a hoot! I can't believe you didn't buy them when you had the chance. I guess you'll just have to make a return trip...to see Cher and buy the glasses. I'm surprised to see the statue guy. He's been there for as long as I can remember (or maybe it's someone else doing the same gig). Vegas is like no where else. Seedy and expensive all rolled into one. Glad to have you back home!

Hey! You're back! Thank goodness, cuz I've missed you and your posts.
Fred and I love Vegas, although I usually don't win, 'cept last time I did win $500 on the slots. I was so thrilled.
