That’s a view

I attended a website workshop for work yesterday afternoon at a new senior living home on Madison Street. The workshop was on the top floor, 7. This was the view looking torward the city. The picture doesn't show how beautiful and clear the day was.

This was the view looking north. If you enlarge the picture, you can see the high school at the left, then the church and the high-rise at the right is across the street from the museum. They do rent the space out for parties and have their own catering. I never would have considered that.

What's up with this Oreo I had at lunch? One of the cookie parts is backward and I've found quite a few like that in the package. Weird.

Pharmacy cats puzzle

Every time I sat down to work on this puzzle, August was there. It took longer to out together than it should have, but it's done ... and complete!

Pixie dust for everyone

L was excited to receive this bit of "pixie dust" from a guest.

And she asked me to find her Disney pins and sent them to her so she can trade with kids at work. I found her lanyard right away with some pins on it but it took some searching to find the sandwich bag of pins in her room. Anyway, they've been found and are on their way to Orlando.

Return trip?

Andy came home from Vegas early Monday, before Cindy even woke up to get ready to leave. He brought home this voucher. Does that mean he has to return?

More shopping

Cindy and I drive out west Sunday to do some more shopping. We just got home before the rain started and here she is, all said because she didn't find much to buy. She did a scrapbook, some paper and a Spiderman onesie for the baby.

I did a little better - some candles, a puzzle, a strand of bead garland, a tank top and a funny nameplate thing for Andy's desk that changes sayings when you flip the pages over.Yeaterday we watched all of "Nobody Wants This" on Netflix and spent Sunday watching "No Good Deed."

Then L sends this asking whether she should dye her hair. No wonder I'm always stressed. Damn.

Sister in town

Andy is out of town so Cindy came for a visit. She brought gondolas from Avanti's for dinner Friday night, set them on the dining room table, and August started nibbling at them. Bad cat.

She got to talk to E when she called on her drive home from work. She also got to talk to L when she Facetimed me.

Safurday we were up early and did a lot of thrift shopping.

How did I not buy this shirt?

Cindy got lucky finding puzzles. Most were just $1.99 each. She bought 20 puzzles for herself!

She also bought toys and puzzles for the baby including three super old Playskool wooden puzzles, scrapbook stuff.

How cute are these? Six puzzles, brand new, for $1.99.

I had a decent day too - a passport holder, two puzzles, two strands of Christmas garland, Easter tulip candles, a bread basket, Christmas cards, two dresses and a Christmas trivet.

Game night

Since Andy was out of town, I stayed after work Thursday night for our volunteer game night. Dinner was sandwiches and chips which was nice because I didn't have to cook.

We played Left Right Center with pennies. The volunteer who brought the game plays it with her grandkids using dollar coins.

Then we formed teams of two to play the original 1981 version of Trivial Pursuit. The volunteers knew a lot more answers than I did.

One of the volunteers had these stickers and magnets made for everyone to take home.

Viva Las Vegas

Andy flew to Las Vegas very early Wednesday morning. He was at the airport before I was awake. He was pretty excited - he got a free upgrade to economy plus and had a seat in the row just behind first class (lots of leg room) and the United Club breakfast buffet had real sausage (not turkey sausage).

He sent this picture going over the Hoover Dam.

He was meeting with clients for dinner Wednesday night but the remainder of the trip will be golfing with his regular golfing buddies. I got home from work Wednesday and his personalized golf balls had arrived, just one day too late to make the trip.

The boys are staying at the Flamingo. It's one of the oldest hotels on the steip and Andy said it's pretty tired. And the pool is closed for renovation which they weren't told when they made the reservations.

This was on Andy's walk to find breakfast Thursday morning. Views from his room:

New church sign

Andy and I noticed that the church's 150th sign (on the ground) was losing some of its ink. Since we have some left over, we took one with us when we went to church Tuesday night to peruse early donut records. It's all better now.

Vegas Strip puzzle

I started this puzzle a few weeks ago in honor (?) of Andy's golf trip. I got it done days before he leaves.

And wouldn't you know there's a golfer on the puzzle.
