Las Vegas


We’ve been in Las Vegas for two weeks now. We “moved” here from Lake Powell on Sunday, September 23rd.

We had planned to spend six weeks here to give the Friendly Ford body shop plenty of time to repair our F-150. We got rear-ended last February in Ft. Myers, Florida in a left-turn lane when the guy behind us didn’t stop. The light had turned green but we had to stop because a guy several cars ahead of us had stopped while making a left-hand turn. The accident damaged our rear bumper and left rear fender. Lucky for us that the guy that rear-ended us had good insurance and they’re paying for all repairs plus a rental car while our truck is in the body shop.

We used the Friendly Ford body shop two years ago to fix the hail damage on our pickup. They did a great job, especially with the aluminum body on our Ford F-150, because it requires special training and tools.

My sister Marcia and brother-in-law Mike came with us from Lake Powell and they spent a week with us. We enjoyed the week, especially going to The Mirage on Wednesday night to see LOVE, Cirque du Soleil’s interpretation of the Beatles legacy. We all thoroughly enjoyed the show.    



We also got tickets to visit the Las Vegas Neon Museum on Friday night. We first went to the Venetian for dinner in St. Mark’s Square. The tour of the Neon boneyard was very good and our guide was quite knowledgeable of the history of Las Vegas and the old casinos.






Mike and Marcia left last Saturday and it felt strange to be by ourselves after spending three weeks with family and friends.

Julie and I decided to go to the Wynn for their Sunday Brunch, voted best buffet in Las Vegas. We usually go to buffets around 3PM because you pay the brunch price and then transition to dinner which starts at 3:30PM. 

We picked the Wynn because they were supposed to have free parking (and the best buffet). Almost all of the casinos on the strip now charge for parking. We later learned the Wynn also charges for parking, unless you spend at least $50 and get your parking ticket validated.



We went to The Mirage last Friday night to see David Spade and Ray Romano at a special 10PM comedy show. It was very good, especially Ray Romano’s stories about getting older, and stories about his wife and kids.

  1. Dance is a captivating and awe-inspiring form of artistic expression that transcends language and cultural barriers. It allows us to communicate, celebrate, and convey emotions through movement and rhythm. From graceful ballet to energetic hip-hop, from traditional folk dances to contemporary styles, each dance genre has its own unique charm and storytelling potential. Dance not only showcases physical strength, flexibility, and coordination but also offers a means of self-discovery and personal growth. It encourages discipline, perseverance, and a deep connection with our bodies and the music that moves us. So let's embrace the joy and beauty of dance, allowing it to ignite our spirits and unite us in a universal language of movement.https://www.dishisjewels.com/mangalsutras

    Choose a reputable jeweler
    Choosing a reputable jeweler when purchasing a diamond engagement ring is important. Look for a jeweler with a good reputation, positive reviews, and certifications from reputable organizations like GIA (Gemological Institute of America). A good jeweler should be knowledgeable about diamonds and able to answer your questions and provide guidance.
