Marriage Communication; Marriage Poem

Here is a new video I made with a marriage poem I wrote. Marriage communication is about two people working together even like your eyes do. I hope it reminds you that it takes two people in tune with each other to make a successful marriage. I hope your Two sets of Eyes make one couple.

Marriage Wisdom Quotes

Family Reunion

Family reunion this weekend. We are in charge. We are doing a Dr. Seuss theme. Each family has a book they will dress as and act out. Activities include find you families feet. We will line them up behind sheets so you can't see the people and only see their feet and we are tagging everyone's feet with a number. The dad's have to find their families feet. Then we will turn it around and the kids will find their dad's feet. We are having a fishing pond and cat throw (stuffed) and a ping pong ball throw into fish bowls. If they get one in the bowl they get the fish. The parents are going to love that. They should be glad it's not kittens. Then we are doing the whole green eggs and ham menu. Every year we have a time for mom and dad to share some of their wisdom with the family. This is a very special informative and special time. Should be fun.

BMW Z-4 change of view

We went driving in my husbands new BMW Z-4 convertible. We drove to our cabin at Bear Lake. The drive is usually made in a hurry but the scenery is always beautiful. Driving through the canyon with no roof on the car was a whole new experience. The view was incredible. It was so fun that I really took time to notice the jagged rocks, and the clouds hovering over the peaks of the mountains, the rock climbers on the cliffs, and the green of the pine trees contrasting against the lingering snow in crevasses. I really enjoyed the ride. I didn't think I would like the little sports car very much. I have always been more of the SUV kind of gal but.... watch out Gaylan I just may want to borrow that little car every so often.

Me at the confernce in the hat I won

I WON, I WON

I am so excited. I won one of the prizes that the generous sponsors gave at the casual bloggers conference. My prize box included: Memory Mixer software and a $30 gift certificate from Memory Mixer. I can't wait to try it. I talked to some people that took their class and I think it will be a great benefit for my blogs, websites and presentations. memorymixer.com Next in the bag were some gifts from JBK Pottery. One was a Pot Minder. I have tied these before you put it in your pot and it will not boil over. There was also a Brown Sugar Saver. I have also used one of these before. You put it in some water for a few minutes and then put it in brown sugar, marshmallows or cookies and it will keep them soft or resoften them. I appreciate that it makes things last longer. That helps me because with only two of us at home, and we eat out a lot, we need to lengthen the life of the food we try to reduce waste. jbkpottery.com That's not all there was. There was a necklace with interchangeable center jewels. What a unique and fun necklace to own and wear. It came in a pretty tin case that looked like a mirror compact. Very classy! kameleonjewelry.com Maxi wares provided a camera strap with Moxy. I saw a lot of the women at the conference with these fun modern straps. I even had a camera with me to put it on. moxywares.etsy.com I have to say on of the most exciting prizes in my prize bag was a fantastic hat. It is black with gray cording. I love wearing hats. coveryourhair.com was the donor of this prize. I want to thank all the sponsors and donors of these prizes. I had a great time at the blog conference and winning was just the icing on the cake.

Casual Blogger Conference

I am at the Casual Blogger Conference learning more about blogging. Julie McDonald is a great teacher. She is very good at creating cute and interesting blog backgrounds she runs leeloublogs.blogspot.com. I am excited to learn about the design part of blogging. I learned to use feedburner.google.com for subscriptions for your news letters. It was very easy to use and collects your subscribers and emails out your newsletter. She taught us how to use madmimi.com to make our newletters. These are great sites with awesome features.

Excited for Warm Weather

So excited to have the pool open and heated for the summer. I can finally do the exercise that I love. Even our baby grandson went swimming.

Grateful

I am Grateful! It has been several long days and another weekend of them coming up. I just try to fit too much into my life. But I love it! Grateful today for God, good surgeons, great friends, a wonderful husband, my kids, my grand kids, our families,Oh, and my dogs.

We went walking in our beautiful neighborhood with our dogs, little princess of a dog Chi Chi, and our puffy Mr. Simba We walked and visited friends. It was a lovely evening. It was fun spending time with my husband and our dogs. The only hard part is Chi doesn't like to walk every once in a while she decides she will pull a tantrum and she will plant her feet and refuse to walk. We have to bribe her and then she will decide to go with us.

Relationship Book to be released

I have been married for 32 years. Most of that was very satisfying and exciting. We went through a very rough several years. I put together ways to come together again and each get what we wanted for our marriage. After people started asking how we did it so I wrote the book "Is Your Relationship Castle Under Siege? 31 Building Blocks to a Happy Ending." You can get the book at a discounted price as an e-book until it is printed and released. Ask yourself the questions on the web page to see if it describes your marriage. www.yourrelationshipcastle.com

Dogs Whippets after dinner

My brother has whippets. They all had a nap after dinner. Sooooo cute.

Thanksgiving 2009

Dessert was sugar free apple pie and chocolate peanut butter pie. It was creamy fluffy and great even I liked it and I don't like peanut butter in anything.

Thanksgiving dinner

We had green salad, fruit salad, yams, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean cassorole, homemade rolls....mmmmmm.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was awesome. My sister-in-law Shirley is a master cook so it was a feast of the best kind. The turkey was perfect and juicy the ham had juice coming out as we cut it.

Wendover Weekend

We went on a weekend to Wendover, Nevada at the Rainbow Hotel & Casino.

We stayed in one of their Jacuzzi Suites. It was romantic, comfortable, and fun. The Jacuzzi was right in the room with a mirror overhead and double rope lighting with mirror accents around the ceiling. As we laid in the king size bed we watched the flat screen TV and enjoyed the fluffy comforter.





There are mirrors surrounding the jacuzzi tub. At the back of the tub there is a water fall that runs when the jets are on.



The staff had made pretty fans out of the towls on the Jacuzzi. The only thing missing was the bubble bath and the rubber ducky.




















The bathroom had a steam shower. A combination of a shower and a steam room. I really liked sitting in the steam.
















The buffet had a wide variety of items. My very favorite and why I think I love to go there is to have "Lace Cookies." I like the buffet at the Rainbow because it is a rain forest setting. Rain is just by sound effects. There is a Burger King, McDonald's, Subway and a couple grocery stores for less expensive food. There is also stuff to pick up at the gas stations.







They have a park behind the welcome center that has a playground, picnic area, basketball court and tennis court.

























There is a golf course on the west end of town. I was amazed at the level of talent they bring into the West Wendover Concert Hall. There is more detailed information in some earlier posts.

Blogworld Expo

Last night we had a party at the JET Nightclub. The dancing was fun. Everyone was inclusive and friendly. They served appetizers. Great music for dancing. It wasn't the place to network as in exchanging info but you did get to interact and have fun together then I found those people today and made contact then. The parties are good to go to. They only last a couple hours and then there is the rest of the night to hit the casino or hit the strip, or in my case hit the pillow.

Las Vegas Convention Center

As you get off the monorail you have a short walk over to the convention center. As you come in it is a spacious building. I went up the escalator and off to the right was the registration. First you go to an open computer and put you name in and it pulls up your info, check it for correctness and then get in the pick up line. They gave us a badge and lunch tickets (for full pass registrants) They had bagels & muffins, coffee and water. Then you pick up you packet and event book. Classes had plenty of room except for one. But still everyone that wanted into the class got in. Hint & Tip: Sit up front in case the speakers aren't loud enough and there are tables up front. One lady had a great idea. Bring an extension cord (3 prong) and Electric strip. Sit where the gold electric outlet is in the floor. Hook up and provide for others. Everyone will love you. If you get chilly bring a sweater as the AC can get a little cool. Most everyone had a computer and took note on it or tweeted during the lectures.

Arriving in Las Vegas

When I got to the airport in Las Vegas I went out the transportation doors and took a shuttle bus (Bell Trans.) to the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel & Casino. They were great and very inexpensive. I paid $6.50 for one person. I got into the hotel at 8:00 a.m. and they let me check in. Very friendly. Nice hotel room. Nothing outstanding put clean and nice. I went down to the monorail that is located right outside a side door of the Hilton Hotel. I bought a 3 day pass that cost me $30. It was quick and comfortable. The Las Vegas Convention Center is the first stop from the Hilton.
