Dogs are howling

Today we caught the bus, rode around stopped at the Fashion Center(it's a mall) to look for batteries for camera. But no such luck. We then went to eat at the Rainforest at the MGM, it was very nice. Walked the whole hotel and went to the M&M store they have 4 floors of M&M candy stuff there. Only thing is they want $9.00 a # for loose candy. Then off to the Coke Cola store only 2 floors there but lots of old product to see.  Then we got hooked to go to a timeshare tomorrow, and we get a buffet and a show.  We have to meet early. So we are coming home early. BIG day tomorrow.  Now the bus home we saw some of the Bellgio hotel waters that dance to music.That was beautiful.  Good night and see you wednesday.   Jim and W.W.

Vegas 2nd night

Oh my i forgot to tell you about the night that we drove in saturday night, we could see the lighted sky from 75 miles away.  It was so bright with a few cloud the lights just glowed.  Ok monday what a day we bought a bus pass for 24 hours.  You get to ride on the deuce bus and what a ride.  we sat up on top in front so we saw everything.  The price we had to pay was, the village bum was there to. Talk about stories this guy give all the new people that got on. We took the bus ride all the way to the end then back and stop to check out the Circus Circus hotel, saw a little act that they have on the 2nd floor. All the lights and the dinging on bells inside you could never go to sleep.  Then off to Treasure Island we saw the two pirate ships fight and the one sank (half way) but it we great all the fireworks, smoke, lights and action. Way thought and so many pretty things to see. They already have Christmas decorations up. Oh to have some on that in my house!!!!! Off to the Mirage thats where the volcano goes up.  More lights smoke and lots of fire. The inside was fantastic, the aquarium was down to remodeling. Well next time. Walking, walking, walking on to the Venetian this is one glamorous hotel, they have the gondolas there and the water is light blue crystal clear.  You got inside and there is lots of money here.  But to go where there have to walk way that one minute you are outside in the dark and the next in the hotel you are in day lite.  The ceiling is a dome and it is painted like the sky with lights behind it and as you walk the sky looks like its moving.  It is just beautiful.  I like that place oh, we got to see a bride and groom there..Next to the Casino Royale more lights and more coupons, you can get free tokens to gamble here. This is one of the old places but stills looks very good and lots of action here to.   We have to head home now to recuperate till tomorrow.   Jim and W.W.

Were here in vegas!!!!

Thursday the 25th we went to the Ozark's to see some old friends of ours that moved there from Sterling,IL.. It  was great to see Jack and Phyllis,it has been about 9 years the last time we saw them. Camped out by their boat house and stayed with them and caught up on old times and new ones.  It was just so relaxing to be there and have a little down time. Then we left there friday after 3p.m. to head for Vegas. Our friends Scott and Laura called and said that they were in Vegas. So we put the pedal to the medal. We got to Vegas on saturday about 9:30p.m.  called Scott and met with them, because you come to the city that people don't sleep so you can call them anytime.  We went out to a buffet place to eat and to see what they have done,gambled a little and didn't get home till 2:45a.m.. Got up sunday late and met we friends to go to race track, We had great seats was able to see everything with no problem. This was my 2nd National event that i have been to.  I like this one best. We got back and then went to another buffet place and talk about some gooood food.  After that to the tables and slot machines, i did try something different to night the wheel with money on it and they spin it and you put the money on the table that you want to win. I did good for the 1st time, played with 10.00 got up to 27.00 and lost all but 2.00 and gave that for the tip. So know telling whats going to happen today.  But let me tell you,  you can walk your butt off out here..And your dogs bark, but you just keep walking.  You know bite the bullet.  Have to go now. Come back later.    Jim and W.W.

on the road again

Well talk about being gypsy, thats Jim and I.  We left monday to go to Florida to pick up some parts. Got there did our thing left wednesday 2p.m. . Stop to see Big Daddy Garlits meunmens.  Had a good time checking out all the old race cars. Then on to see Maverick, April, and Ben in Georiga.. We got there wednesday midnite. Went  friday to Maverick 1st homecoming football game, his team was the half time show.  They look so cute on that big field, and  tiny against the senior team they got to run down the field and bust thought the big banner with them.  They won that game.  Jim and I had lunch with him on thursday and friday.  We got to seat in the little bitty chairs and talk to the kids.  We handed out pictures of the race car to his class and they got to ask questions and Mave had to answer they and didn't give Jim a chance to answer. Went saturday morning to a rummage sale and then to the football game, they lost this one. And now we are heading back to Sterling to load up and head out to Vegas and Mexico on tuesday morning.  Wait to see what happens next.   Jim and W.W.
