What happens in Vegas...goes on the blog!

I did a quick trip to Vegas this past weekend. Had a blast! It is always fun to spend quality time with Rhonda. She is the ultimate in hostess formality. Actually, kudos to Larry for sending us to the Phantom at the Venetian. We gave it two thumbs up! The staging, acting, sound system, etc. was amazing. After the play we shopped 'til midnight. As you can see in one of the pictures I had to document that I actually stayed up that late...don't tell Bob! It is always nice to visit, eat out, and be with your dear friend. Thanks to Rhonda and Larry...oh yes and to Molly the next runway model.

Waiting for Phantom to start...

Yes, I stayed up past midnight!

Rhonda's Pool Boy...he hasn't met a camera he didn't like either!

"A hundred million miracles..."

This past weekend I had the opportunity to spend a few days in San Francisco. It was a blast! I went with Sue, Terry, and Lauri. We shopped, walked, ate, walked, slept, and walked some more. We had fun talking, laughing, and watching people....Terry was disappointed she didn't see more gay people. It is a bustling city 24 hours a day! Thanks to my friends for a great trip. Thanks to Rhonda - who was within spitting distance in San Fran - for calling my HOME PHONE and not my cell phone to link up!

Shopping at Macy's-Ole!
Last time we went off together we made sock monkey's for the festival of trees.
This time we wore sock monkeys on our feet.
My favorite musical as a child was...
Terry chasing down the hill for Lauri's purse that slid off of Sue's lap.
The nice "cable car - NOT A TROLLEY!" (as Lauri kept informing us!)
driver had to stop, back up, and get a running start to get back up the hill.
It was hysterical!
Grant Ave, San Francisco
Chinatown was like Tijuana...
had to freshen up after the walk through!

Living Heck!







At school we have been doing a remodel. The school is about 53 years old...maybe I need a remodel too! The school sat empty all summer until about one week before the kids came back and that is when the job got started. What genius' we have in Davis! To make a long story short it has been trying for students and teachers. There have been construction workers, men who look like they came from skid row, etc. roaming and working the halls. Funny thing, they don't have to be fingerprinted but we do! Here are some pictures of my room before and after the cabinets went in. I have waited since November to get these. Our rooms have been a mess, we have sat in the class with the waiting cabinets for 2 weeks, and it was chaos. I had a melt down, but I am recovering and am feeling a bit more organized. The cabinets are ugly but full of space. They are wonderful to have. May 30 is COMING SOON!
