SUMMER HEAT

Summer has been keeping me pretty hoping lately...barely enough time to sit and write. And what a summer it has been....The weather here is sure cooperating. I can't remember a summer this nice in our city in a long time. In fact, it has been good weather since about May...hot, hot, and hotter. And that little red convertible is getting lots of action. Don't be surprised to see me on the highways as I zip on by to my next adventure.


And what have I been up to? Well, I was in Toronto for my niece's prom where she had about 67 of her "closest" friends come to her place (or should I say her parents:' place) to take pictures before they all set out in their limos (I think there were three  huge SUV limos) to their dinner and party. Having a couple of teenagers around - no problem. Having that many....THAT WAS A LOT. While the guys looked their cool selves, I have to say the girls looked beautiful. Once we got passed all the little mishaps - nails falling off, hair coming undone...it all came together. I gotta give credit to my sister and brother-in-law for being so adventurous. What with all the kids coming to take pictures, all the parents and family members wanted to come too, adding to the number of people. NOW THAT WAS A LOT. There was plenty of room in her backyard for everyone and no one fell into the pool. Hmmm...makes me think it would be a good place for weddings...If my niece ever needs some extra cash, she can rent her backyard out...sounds like a good idea to me.



After Toronto, it was off to Vegas. Vegas wasn't just hot....it was super hot - 112 degrees. Vegas is my city.  I only wish my friend Shelli had told me about Vegas a lot sooner. She has had so much more of Vegas than I have.  Had to hit Messa Grill... got to meet Pete Rose...indulged in my frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity, relaxed by the pool, and even won a little on the slots. And how was Vegas you ask me. Well it was fantastic. I have lots of highlights to share with you.



Did I miss any flights? Of course I did ...it wouldn't be normal if I didn't miss a flight or two as I travelled. I was late leaving which made me miss my connection, so they changed my flight and I arrived 12 hours early to Vegas. On the way back, we got on the plane...and we got off the plane. Seems something was wrong with the plane and we were once again delayed. Eventually I made my connections and did make it home.
