Dutchess!!

So today, I'm just going to post some pictures of Dutchess. She has been just a GREAT partner in our past several years. Yes, she is getting older, but still continues to give us a lot of love.

Today, one of the neighbors came to visit, we didn't even let them get together

The last picture is Dutchess and Leslie's dog Scarlett. And yes, Dutchess let Scarlett know who was boss of the house

Laura's Birthday Party!

February 5th, Laura's Birthday! Time to party. First we went out to dinner at Carve, the steak house at Eastside Cannery. We then went into Marilyn's Lounge, where "The Fab" was playing.

We were joined by Leslie, Renee', & many other followers of The Fab, and their Beatles music.

As you can see, we even had a Birthday Cake!

The video is The Fab singing "Birthday" to Laura. Though the latter part is fairly dark, you should be able to recognize a couple dancers.

Hockey game, other items

Yep, Hockey in Las Vegas! Last night we went to see the Las Vegas Wranglers defeat the Bakersfield Condors 5-1, and since the home team scored 5 goals, everyone in attendance got a coupon good for a free taco at Del Taco. Good game (from the home team view), team looked much better than the past couple of times we saw them play. And YES, I wore my "WINGS" shirt! During the game, I reflected on how the game of hockey is played, and decided on my "Thought of the Week" for today.

After the game, we went down to the "Strip" to watch "The Fab", a Beatles tribute band. Great time, busy, Super Bowl Weekend in Las Vegas! Gee, got to bed just before 4:00am, and then over to Samstown for Champagne Brunch this morning.

Now, time for a nap, before watching the Super Bowl.

Postscript:

Darn, as I was finishing this posting, the Detroit Pistons blew an 8 point lead at the end of the 3rd period, and lost their game. Looks like the pistons record in Jan was 6 - 9, and now today? 6 losses in a row at home? And they were looking so good in Dec.

And the Red Wings - now 5 losses in a row, even losing to "Dallas"? Ouch!

Sure hope the experience of the Lions isn't rubbing off on all the Detroit teams. :-) Can we say, "Time to change allegiance"?
