No Photos! What Happens in Vegas...

Yep...what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas unless you write about it.

Went to Vegas for a Glass Art Show which despite what you never knew

or even thought is a lot of work and my least favorite thing

to do in life...I know if you are an artist you must sell your art or your house

becomes overflowing with your work.

What I love about this show is the old friends.

What I don't like about this show is that it is in a casino

where the smoking makes me hoarse.

This year there was a horse show of Stallions so it

was filled with young cowboys, spurs and cockiness.

Always, always revel in your youth.

The other event was a bowling tournament so there

were people going up and down rolling their balls and wearing their

shirts with their leagues embroidered for being on TV

one must look their natty best don't you know.

We had a great show, enjoyed a lot of good food

a party around 'artistic shot glasses' done by so many good artists

trading with friends and catching up on the year

but the social life of an art show is tiring especially when it

is so good.

On the way home we enjoyed the hills and valleys

of blooming wildflowers or weeds depending on your view

and decided to stop in Winslow for a Chicago Dog and a little time

with the Eagles...

Only to come out to find a flat back tire.

The Winslow tow truck driver filled it before

leading us to a local tire store where they confirmed it was not fixable

so we had to put on a new tire.

Winslow has great, friendly helpful people

but it was a fairly new [expensive] Cooper tire with

a slash too close to the sidewall.

Came home to cold weather

the house is upside down with dirty laundry and show stuff

I have spent the morning opening up my Etsy Store

getting a new Square Reader since ours is not holding a charge

and just chilling out with mindless tasks.

I did finish Echo Volume 3 and was not disappointed

in the continuation of the Sci-fi story

I didn't open my laptop while gone so my new story

is just sitting waiting for me to get back to it

the refrigerator is empty, the empty house got dirty while I was gone

and that I don't understand.

So I am going to just take some time off

and enjoy my brain not in operation mode.
