I took this at Saguaro National park in Arizona. It was spring and I never thought I’d find vibrant colors in a desert. My opinion on desert living is that you either love it and stay, or hate it and leave. Surprisingly, the desert grew on me to where I love it now that I’ve been out here 12 years. Have a great Mardi Gras!

VIVA LAS VEGAS -Elvis Presley
Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There’s a thousand pretty women waitin’ out there
And they’re all livin’ devil may care
And I’m just the devil with love to spare
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
‘Cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn’t sleep a minute away
Oh, there’s black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev’ry deal
All you need’s a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin’
And your one armbandits crashin’
All those hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas turnin’ day into nighttime
Turnin’ night into daytime
If you see it once
You’ll never be the same again
I’m gonna keep on the run
I’m gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I’ll always remember that I had a swingin’ time
I’m gonna give it ev’rything I’ve got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with ev’ry shot
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas,
Viva, Viva Las Vegas
Whitney Houston may not have put on boots and handled a gun to honor our country. However let us not forget how she brought honor to our country in a time of need by singing The National Anthem in such a way that brought us honor. So I applaud the state of NJ for returning the honor by flying the flag at half mast to mark her passing. What a lot of people don’t know, is that the money she made from the singing The National Anthem, Whitney Houston donated every penny to our soldiers.
Frogs, frogs they are everywhere.
Frogs, frog’s croaking fill the air…

It’s Super Bowl Sunday! Really?? I don’t care one bit about the game. I am however, a HUGE fan of hanging out with family and friends, enjoying the company and eating food I normally don’t indulge in. I also enjoy hearing my husband laugh his head off over the commercials. That’s what Super Bowl Sunday means to me. How about you?

I visited the Micheal O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge which is right by Hoover Dam yesterday. This structure is colossal to say the least. When we first moved to Nevada there was no such bridge in existence. I am proud to say that I was able to see the bridge go up bit by bit in the 11 years that I’ve resided out here. If you’re ever out here in this part of the world, plan to make a trip to see this amazing bridge, my pics don’t do it much justice.

I will leave you with this photo I took when I went to Redondo Beach over the holidays. Do you ever wonder how places get their names? This beach is lovely, and yet Redondo, which means round in Spanish, just doesn’t make sense to me. So before I get redundant about Redondo Beach I wish you a happy day!

Today’s picture is of an event of something I had never been a part of before. A couple of years ago the dance studio my daughters attended arranged a mob dance and my whole family except for my husband participated in it. Thankfully he declined because we would not have any pictures of the event. Mob dances are so much FUN! This one we did in the hottest part of the summer here in the lovely Mojave desert. I appreciate the fact that we performed in front of the dancing fountains of The Bellagio Casino. We even made it on to the evening news. That was such a great experience for me because it brought me out of my shell. I can say I have done a mob dance and lived to tell about it.
