We woke this morning to blue skies, bad weather all gone and other than a couple of roads outside of Vegas city limits, everything was open and clear! The pools were busy, the activity center was bustling and sidewalks packed again with pedestrians. Basically, everything back to normal!
We had sweet pictures this morning of our granddaughters ready for the first day of school, and our grandson now STANDING! I swear he just started crawling about 3 weeks ago! Nora is excited to be in 3rd grade because it’s the year of the recorders in music class. Lord, I do NOT miss those at all!!! Megan had best be prepared for the squawking, honking tones. I would send notes home to parents asking- more like begging – for patience and to allow the students 10 min. MAX every night to practice, then the recorder was to go back in the bookbag for the following day. A couple of my kids had to practice outside on the deck and porch, another one in a barn, but they got their allotted practice time!! Knowing our daughter she will probably make me sit and listen to an entire concert with Nora and her recorder because she knows how much I hated to teach them. She’s ornery that way!!!
Just Finishing The July Paper Pumpkin Kit – BUT It’s Still Available!!!
I’m bad about getting my Paper Pumpkin kits completed, so I grabbed several to work on this week. This kit is LOADED guys!!!!! Such cute fun folds and the cut outs to go with the cards – adorable!!! I’m not sure which one I like the best!
Look at all of the pieces included in this kit! I mentioned yesterday how far the kits have come these last years – I can still remember the kit from years ago that came with a long notepad, a board and clip, and a couple of stamps with a magnet. Like 5-7 items in the box. What a dud that one was! Our kits now are quality.
Refills Of The Fun In The Sun Kit Are Available!!!
Even though you might not have a subscription to Paper Pumpkin, many times the kits and refills are available online!! This kit is available only as a refill which means no stamps or ink block, BUT you really do not need them!!! There are multiple ink colors that will work and I’m sure you have something in your supplies that will work. Contact me directly if you are interested in a refill – at $11.50, that’s a great deal!
Pool Boy’s Restaurant Choice Today – Fat Choy’s!
We had a late lunch at Fat Choy’s restaurant – smack dab in the middle of a casino. We both had short rib grilled cheese sandwiches slathered in bacon jam on sourdough and I have to say they were incredible!! SO GOOD that if we ever make it back we will go again. How do you come up with a name like that though??? LOL. For dessert we brought home a slice of german chocolate cheesecake too – haven’t had a bite yet but I’m expecting it to be tasty. We will have been to a variety of restaurants this trip without having chosen a chain, but that’s part of the fun. Betcha money though we will be hitting a MCD’s on the way home – by then we will just want to keep heading east homeward.
Until next time, have a great day doing what you love, stay safe whatever your weather conditions are, and God Bless!!!
