May 30th


Ok, so when I downloaded this pic today, I realized it's not very good - you have to look really close to see the main part I was trying to focus on! But, it's the only one I took yesterday of the snow-capped mountain. Oh well. I don't know why, but I am completely awed by the fact there is snow so close to Vegas in Late May.

It's snowing on Mount Charleston right outside of Vegas! Crazy!! And it was in the 60's today!

May 28th


We had a wonderful, relaxing day. The hubby grilled out and we tried something new. Bak Choy with olive oil, garlic, and proscuitto. Yum!

May 27th - Lake Mead Boat Day

It's crazy to see how much the lake has dropped.....


The back side of the Hoover Dam


I was shocked at how clear, clean, and blue the water was!

View of the strip (notice the Stratosphere) from a distance....

Ok, so I simply did not take a picture today. Just couldn't find anything to take a picture of. So.... I wanted to share a really cool photo my hubby took in TX. :) (And I figured you're tired of pictures of my dog! haha)

May 24th


Happy dog on our walk today.

Have you ever seen a lab that didn't want to go outside? Every now and then he'll hang out in the backyard, but he is much more happy inside.

May 22nd


Unusual reflection. I have no idea what was causing it.

We have a lemon growing!!!!!

May 17th



Rain Clouds in the Desert.

The weather here has been crazy lately. Today it was in the high 60's/ low 70's, very windy and rainy. Not quite what I expected for the middle of May. But I shouldn't complain- I know it will get HOT here soon enough.

May 16th


I've been missing our garden we had in NM, so we decided to have a potted garden. We have 2 tomato plants and a lemon tree. I hope they do well- I love being able to pick our own fruits/veggies. If it were up to me we would have a lot more, but we decided to see how these do in the desert heat.

Ok, so this picture I definitely did not take today, but thought it was cute. I took it a couple of weeks ago when I was visiting in TX. It is my Aunt's dog..... so cute!

May 14th


Awesome sunset & clouds.

May 13th


Had to get the pool out for Luke! :)

May 12th


Well, it happened! It finally got up to 100 the other day.

I am so behind on this blog thanks to technical problems at Blogger. But, so happy to be back up & running!

Luke sacked out on our front patio. So glad the weather here has been so cool! We've been keeping our doors open. Not looking forward to the HOT summer weather that's sure to make it's appearance any day now.....

Had dinner at Chuy's with my parents.

April 30th



We went to 2 really neat museums today in the small town where the hubby grew up. One was an old train depot and the other was a WW II POW camp. Who knew that there were thousands of German POW's living in small town Texas during the war. So interesting!

April 29th


The hubby brought this old poker table back to life - just in time for a poker tournament in the barn in TX. :)
