Vegas Adventures

This week was a busy one with fun and activities, Vegas style. Monday, we went to a hockey game. They sure know how to put on a good show. On and off the ice. "Keeping it real", it would have been so much better if we didn't have loud talkers behind us. They weren't even talking about the hockey game for the most part, and I really didn't need to know if the son had finished his homework. Other than that, it was a nice evening. 
Golden Knights vs LA Kings

They know how to put on a show before the game for sure.

Show girls dancing on the Kings side of the arena. 
Guessing they are there for distraction.

Warm-up time.

The Knights getting ready to enter the arena. 

Tuesday was a chill day. Since we are in Pacific Time Zone, hubby wakes up and starts work at 4:00am. He also needed to rest up because Wednesday was date night. We went to dinner at Tom Colicchio's restaurant, Craftsteak, and then went to a Cirque Du Soleil show, Ka. I wish I was able to take pictures, the show was amazing, and the entire stage moved.  I would see it again for sure. Fun fact: Originally composed of 20 street performers in 1984, Cirque Du Soleil Entertainment Group completely reinvented circus arts and went on to become a world leader in live entertainment. Established in Montreal, the Canadian organization has brought wonder and delight to over 180 million spectators with productions presented in 450 cities in 60 countries. Currently it employees 4,000 people, including 1,300 artists, who originate from nearly 50 countries.

Lots of fire going off on the stage.

We chilled again on Thursday because Friday through tomorrow was going to be an amazing time with friends. We set out to the airport to pick up Jim and Fonda. We haven't seen each other since last December. It was wonderful catching up with them. We first went out to lunch and then drove to Fremont Street to check it out. All I can say is WOW! A lot was going on, music, dancing, street performers. A lot to take in for sure. We also had dinner at Hugo Cellars in the Four Queens casino. It was a fun time for sure! I won a little bit of money on the slots. 

Here is the beginning of the Fremont Street Experience. 

Had to take a picture of the cowboy.

"Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. 
For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion". Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NASB).

"I knew when I met you an adventure 
was going to happen." Winnie the Pooh.

Since Fonda and Jim gave us the Road Food Book, we had to go and they only have one in Vegas. Mary's Hash House. It is a plain place as far as seating goes, has some cute pictures on the walls and a sign that I had to take a picture of. Mary (the owner) was on the Food Network cooking competition "Chopped". The waitress believed it was in 2013. So sad, Mary didn't win. Her food was good and since it is a hash house, Fonda ended up ordering one of the hash dishes for breakfast. The waitress was funny and didn't mind talking to us at all. Hubby was not found that she kept coming back to talk, he wanted to eat his breakfast. In the truck on the way back to Sam's Town, the four of us talked about the food, environment and service. We ended up give the place a strong 3 1/2 points out of 5. If we would have just judged the food, it would have been 4 1/2 points. Let's just say, I would go back and eat there again.

Hubby, myself, Fonda and Jim.

This was just too funny, so I needed to take this picture.

Saturday afternoon, we headed out to eat at Giada's restaurant in The Cromwell hotel and casino. After that we headed to Planet Hollywood to see Miranda Lambert.

Smokey Old Fashion

It was pretty tasty. So glad we were able to dine together Saturday night.

It was a good concert!

She had so much energy!

Amazing light show.

Glad we saw her and made memories.

Today, I am sure we will find something fun to do, the Mob Museum, Hoover Dam, something special or maybe a more chill vibe. More about that next week.

If there is something special you would like me to take a picture of, please let me know!

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th...

Big Sky Country Part 1

Image
Happy Memorial Day weekend! We appreciate all who gave the ultimate sacrifice and their families who lost their loved ones!!  We left Wyoming and all its beauty to come to Montana and see all its beauty! I know why they call it "Big Sky Country" the sky goes on forever. God is so amazing! Here is the last picture of Wyoming for 2021. Montana is a fickle state with weather, that is for sure. Although this year, weather has been crazy all over America! We have had some beautiful days and then days of rain and even a little bit of hail. We are currently staying at Bear Canyon Campground it is truly beautiful! "From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to be praised." Psalm 113:3 (NASB) Tuesday, Hubby and I went to the American Computer and Robotics Museum. It was incredible to see how much progress has happened just over the past 30 years. We are currently watching Big Bang Theory at night and some of it I don't understand but going to that ...

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the ...
