What’s new?
Lots of fun stuff has happened since my last post, so I thought I’d share. First, I accompanied the DH to a conference in Phoenix, Arizona. I love going to his conferences because they always take place at some swanky resort. This time was no different–we stayed at the Biltmore. Gorgeous hotel, beautiful grounds, and a first class spa. We swam and hot-tubbed together, then while the DH was teaching/conferencing, I visited the spa (FABULOUS facial) and indulged in afternoon high tea (so much fun!). Even better, we combined this trip with a side jaunt to Las Vegas! I’d never been to Vegas and was anxious to see it. And see it we did! We stayed at the Venetian (wonderful!) and took in all the sights. We saw two shows–Jersey Boys, which was excellent, and Donny and Marie (super excellent!). We even had front row seats for Donny and Marie, AND Donny Osmond (aka The First Boy I Ever Loved) touched my hand! SWOON!! We ate in some great restaurants, walked and shopped until we dropped, visited with friends who live in nearby Henderson, and had a grand old time. We even squeezed in a visit to the Hoover Dam (fascinating!).

We were only home from Vegas for a few days when my sister came for a visit. We had a terrific time and lots of laughs and she taught me and my friends how to bake bread. My sister is an excellent baker. Me? Not so much. The bread came out great–but of course she was there helping (really, doing 99% of the work). I don’t think my solo efforts will come out nearly as well–but I’ll be giving it a try.
It was kinda chilly in the morning in Florida!
After a few days in Georgia, my sister and I flew to Florida to visit our parents–a special treat as we’d never been to see them there at the same time. We had a wonderful visit, complete with a trip to the zoo where we fed parrots and giraffes (totally cool experience). In between all that I managed to even start writing a new book. Now all I have to do is finish it

So what have you been up to? Ever been to Vegas? Have you seen Jersey Boys? Has Donny Osmond ever touched your hand, LOL? Tell us what you’ve been doing lately and/or what exciting plans you have coming up.
