Memorial Day

Greg spied mama robin making a nest in our bush. Next thing we knew, she had laid two beautiful, perfect blue eggs!


I had a nice relaxing long weekend! I was able to sleep in, make strawberry pies, and sit on the deck in my new chair, sipping a cold drink and listening to my favorite songs! What more could I ask for? On top of that, I organized my scrapbook room! What a perfect Memorial Day for me!

Las Vegas

The FMI Convention in Vegas was a good time! The students were wonderful.

The sites were amazing. I've never seen anything like Las Vegas. I kept saying "this is so interesting". The lights and the casinos were beautiful. We stayed at the Excalibur, which looked like a medieval castle. One of my favorite sites was the fountains at the Belliegio.


We also visited the aquarium at the Mandalay Bay, which was very nice. I touched this stingray... they are velvety. Then on to the Wax Museum. Wow. Jon Bon Jovi and Tim McGraw. Tim was a much better likeness than Jon, but it was very cool.


I took tons of photos and we walked miles and miles. In fact, I have a sprained foot to prove it! I am thankful that I was given this opportunity. Honestly I wouldn't plan a vacation to Vegas, but I'd go back with a group of girls or my hubby if I was invited! It was an interesting experience!

Mother's Day In Review

Happy Mother's Day! Here's my day in review.... slept in (10:00 a.m. -wow!); made my own toast; read the paper and drank coffee; laundry load #1; shower; laundry load #2; worked in my scrapbook room organizing the room and finishing up some journaling; laundry load #3; made my own lunch; laundry load #4; lots of folding laundry; a little tv time; laundry load #5 and more folding; new PaperCrafts Magazine and iced tea; last laundry load #6; started dinner; checked e-mail; Greg finished dinner, served it and did the dishes (yeah!); more folding; photos of Greg's auto parts to post on ebay; figuring out how to post to ebay; getting frustrated at both ebay and husband; uploading photos; watch Survivor Finale and Extreme Home Makeover (at the same time); watch Desparate Housewives; flip back to Survivor; can't keep my eyes open and fall asleep. I did get the lounge chair I wanted for the deck! So, it wasn't the ideal Mothers Day, but I was able to stay home all day. There is always next year for that "perfect" Mother's Day! As soon as I have time, I'll post Vegas photos!
