This past weekend we went to Vegas for our annual trip to see Jimmy Buffet. We went to the Neon Sign Boneyard and took a tour of all of the amazing signs. It was so interesting to see the signs up close and hear about their histories. The sky that day was a beautiful blue with wispy clouds that made for some wonderful pictures. We left there and went to Hoffbrau House for lunch and met up with Bob and Shelly. We had a delcious lunch and enjoyed the entertainment. After we left there we went to Freemont Street. We had never been and it was interesting to see some of the old neon signs still in use there. Kristen and Andy went ziplining, which they enjoyed quite a bit. Jimmy Buffet never disappoints. The concert was full of great music, dancing around, on our part, and an overall great time. After the concert we headed over to New York New York to our favorite place, Nine Fine Irishmen. The house band, Sin E Rira, always keeps the place jumping with their lively music. It's really fun to people watch and sing along with the band. It was a long weekend with little sleep. It was great hanging out with Bob, Shelly, Matt, Johanna, and Holden. We will be ready to go again next year as soon as Jimmy announces his concerts in Vegas.
Still Southern Y'all

Trip to Atlanta and North Georgia
In August I visited my mom in Atlanta. We drove to Helen, Georgia to visit my cousins and have lunch. The weather was perfect . We stopped by Jaemore's Fruit stand on the way home and bought some vegetables and peaches, and of course one of the beautiful watermelons.

Maui Fun
My husband and I just returned from our annual trip to Maui. Our friends Bob and Shelly came along, and for the first time in years there were no kids with us. We had a great time and enjoyed many wonderful meals. The highlight as always was lunch the first day and dinner another night at Mama's Fish House. This is definitely our favorite place. We shared the most delicious crab cakes with fire and ice relish and Shelly and I split the mahi mahi that was stuffed with crab and lobster. For desert I had the banana macadamia nut crumble. I ended up taking over half of it back to the condo. We drove the road to Hana for the first time. The waterfalls and the variety of plants was amazing. We also took a cruise on the America's Cup boat. This scared the daylights out of me, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. Something about the boat tipping sideways just really got to me. It was sad to have to come home, but there's always next year! Flying home on 9/11 was nerve racking. I have never seen so many police and security at Kahului and at Los Angeles.

Welcome Y'all
I fnally decided to jump into the blog world. I love reading other design blogs and drooling over new ideas. There are so many wonderful, talented women with very creative ideas. Many times I want to rent a U-Haul and clear the decks. I love my home and love the area where I live. Most of the homes in my neighborhood were built in the early 1900s. My house isn't that old, it was built in the 70s. It's a beautiful area to walk and visit with people you run into. The house where they filmed Father of the Bride is around the corner from me. Different companies film a lot in this area because the homes look like the could be anywhere.
Follow along with me and I will share my adventures in my little corner of the world, and wherever else I may travel.
