Las Vegas 2012 ~ The Fun and Not So Fun Moments

We had some fun and not so fun moments while we were on our trip.  I will start with the bad so I can end with the good.


Not so fun moments...
  1. Along the strip there are some really freaking, pushy sales people.  Trying to push their porn cards and booklets on any male walking, regardless if he is holding hands with another woman.  
  2. The streets later in the day are loaded with littered porn cards and booklets, from the pushy freaks.
  3. Inside every hotel are a different freaking, pushy sales people.  These people are dressed nicer and come up to you and welcome you, asking if you want free tickets while you are here...all you have to do is give up 90 minutes of your life for them to try to sale you some time share.  {I felt guilty because I lied to them constantly, I would say, oh we are late we have to meet up with friends, or no we will be leaving this afternoon.}
  4. Denny's on the strip.  The worse Denny's or restaurant I have ever been in.  Rude and slow.  We were served old cold fries and my BLT was the worse BLT ever.  How can anyone screw up a BLT sandwich?  Seriously?  The bread was not even toasted, the lettuce was limp, barely a tomato if you would call it a tomato and I think they forgot to add the Mayo.  
  5. Trying to catch a bus during the rush hour.  I am not even sure if a bus goes down the strip to pick up new riders.
  6. Our hotel room's air conditioner leaking water all over the Mister's dirty clothing.  They were too wet to even pack, I had to use garbage bags to put the clothing in to avoid everything else becoming wet.
  7. The Mister (not knowing) missing Dick Butkus and getting his autograph free by 15 minutes.

Now more fun moments, photos I did not post in the previous posts.

The Mister next to his PERFECT team at the sports store we barely missed seeing Dick Butkus

The strange people on the street.
This guy would jump out in front of people walking down the street and scare them.
These show girls were actually rude but I wanted to take their picture any how.  
They did not want a picture taken unless we donated money for them to pose.
I am not very sure why this Aztec Man was there.  
All he did was stand there.

The different types of palm trees.


The Mister acting silly for me.  He wanted this pose with his Buda Buddy.

This fountain was inside Planet Hollywood

This horse statue was outside Planet Hollywood

I could not resist taking a picture of this.  Look how large the candy is.  I just had to take this picture for the boys.

If you can not tell by reading my prior post, we had a ton of fun.  We did not gamble much at all.  The Mister wanted to play a dollar in a penny slot at every Casino we went to, but he only played  $5 worth.  He played Black Jack one night while I rested but he broke even.  He also played poker one morning, $35 fee.  He lost his $100 playing Black Jack our last night.  I played $21 dollars playing penny slots and broke even playing Black Jack.  I do not think that is too bad, me down $21 in 4 days and the Mister down $145.  Naturally it would have been better if we walked away ahead.

This was a great trip for us.  I am so happy we did this.

Many Blessings,
Jolene

Slow Down - Stay A Little Bit

Repost: March 12, 2017 previous blog Now, I look forward to the season of life I am in. Watching my boys becoming responsible young adults/adults. I love the relationship I have with them but I also miss the days they are little from time to time. Life is definitely changing, always changing.  I love my new position at work.  I am finally getting used to the "normal" hours and I will be able to dedicate a couple of nights to my blogging again and reading my favorite bloggers/friends. In the midst of it all, I have seriously became old ... my body aches so much any more.  I am seeing a doctor to assist with the pain.  The end of March and the beginning of April are my worst time of year.  This year I hope I am able to concentrate on the memories and love of my Dad and concentrate on Emily's baby shower for our new little soon grandchildren. I think I am battling some Empty Nest feelings.  My boys are growing up and they reach out to me very little.  NoNo will be graduating

Thankful Thursday ~ Sierra Jo Dominguez

I have been making my plans to complete our yarden next year. Yes, that was a "y" in place of a "g".  I follow Sierra Jo Dominguez on Instagram. She is another person who saved me. I love following her. She is a beautiful soul. She has fake cooking shows, backyard gardening, home repair and remodeling, she shares her life, and her new passion for pottery. She is a Christian as well and just like Tia Bee Stokes, she is real and spreads positive message. Sierra shared how she was creating a yarden and she inspired me not only to increase my Butterfly Garden but rebuild the backyard to our yarden last Summer, I will later post about the beginning of the yarden. I am excited to see her yarden but it has been placed on hold because growing a pottery business takes a lot of time when she is also a Mama of seven children, two of then are toddlers. She is homes schooling the children.  Our kitten, Bella even loves Sierra Jo Dominguez.  This was her small box of Joy. I bough
