Blogging about my life. My daughter getting married. My mom in the nursing home. My work as a receptionist at a physical therapy clinic. My home with the love of my life.
Grandma Sparring with another resident before the contest.
So, the winner is..... Grandma Evelyn! Two years running!
They have a little costume contest after lunch the Friday before Halloween. Then they have a carnival that starts at 5:15 where the staff's children come in and go trick or treating room to room. Everyone loves it. The kids get to interact with grandmas and grandpas and the residents really love seeing children especially in costume.
Sorry I haven't been able to upload the pro-pix yet. I'm trying to get some books done at Snapfish and Walgreens before the specials end so I've been neglecting my blog.
Randy outside of Binion's
Randy and I went to Vegas last weekend. We had such a good time! We stayed at La Quinta near the airport. And I mean we could watch the planes take off and land at McCarran out our window. But I really never heard them and the room was so nice. We got one with a hot tub in the bedroom and let's just say we made good use of it. We gambled on the strip and down town, watched the light show on Freemont Street, and went to a K9 competition at the Orleans. I discovered a new favorite slot machine. Based on the movie, The Hangover. It's multi-screened, loud, obnoxious and I couldn't stop winning on it. It was soooooo much fun. I even got a progressive jackpot at the Statosphere ($65 it wasn't a big one, LOL). But not bad for a penny machine. This is the only pic I have of the whole trip.
Here are the rest of the pix from Mom's Halloween.
I've gotten a couple of requests to do a re-cap of the wedding. I posted TONS of these pix on my facebook, but I was reminded not everyone uses FB. So here are my favorite pix from the casual shots taken by friends. I am still waiting for the pro pix to come back.
I tried to include pictures that highlighted the venue, Cabrillo Beach Bath House. I know there are not a lot of pix out there of the venue in use. I was very please with the results! Yes, it's work, but it's a great choice for a beach wedding on a budget. I haven't run the final figures, but I think we were right around $12,000. And I bought everything including the brides maid dresses. (I'm including the price of the bartender that the groom's side paid for.) It was a truly lovely wedding and I've gotten compliments over and over again on how fun it was and how beautiful. Please feel free to message me about my vender's, etc.
