Turtles turtles turtles....

L.W. here and I love turtles.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Limo Man calls me "little turtle". He says that I look like a turtle when I pout. Can you imagine?

Anyways I shot (not with a gun silly!) some turtles out on our patio to share with anyone that reads my blog.

Okay, so sometimes I get a little bored.

This time off is gettin' to me.

I'd better go do something useful like laundry or something.

Yeah that's what I'll do....

Life after Las Vegas

Limo Man and I had a fabulous trip to Las Vegas this last week.

We left on Sunday and got into Vegas about 3pm. We got an upgrade on our room so we actually had a suite that was bigger than our townhouse. The spa tub pictured above was huge and to give you an idea of how huge it is Limo Man is 6'4" and he could barely sit up in the thing.

We had a fabulous dinner on Sunday night at our favorite sushi place at the MGM, The Grand Wok. We love going there for dinner and the sushi makers love it when we give them a tip. We sat at the sushi bar and after we tipped the guys it started a trend with other diners at the bar.

Monday and Tuesday we hung at the pool. They have a new pool at the MGM Grand called Wet Republic. That's where all the beautiful, young people hang out. Since there are 6 pools now at the MGM we hung at the director's pool which is the adult pool. It was nice to see that the "adults" weren't the usual suspects that we have always seen flaunting their little hard bodies there before. Apparently they have all migrated to Wet Republic. THANK YOU WET REPUBLIC.... Now I have no qualms about hanging at the pool.

On Monday night we trammed down to Caesar's palace and had dinner at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill. Wow, was that ever a delight! We have decided that since the food was so good that we will go back sometime and make a meal out of the appetizers.

As you can see by the picture with all the building they are building a huge city center in Las Vegas. It's going to consist mostly of condos and timeshares. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in this economy.

We're back from Vegas and back to the usual.

Happy 4th of July

Limo Man is driving the dignitaries for the HB Annual 4th of July Parade today. The 4th of July in HB is amazing. People drive in from all over southern california and park where they want. Most of them don't care if they are in a red zone or not. It's almost like the lemmings making their way to the edge of the cliff.

Then later Limo Man is taking some favorite clients to a soccer match at the Home Dept Center. So the 4th of July is a day that I can take for myself.

In the past I have always barbequed ribs and made macky salad for Limo Man but this year we are having hot dogs and hot links with some store bought poatato salad since he only has a short break at home.

I hope you all have a safe and happy 4th and that you get to see some great fireworks. All I know is that later tonight my neighborhood will be a war zone.

Fireworks are illegal in HB unless they are controlled in a show down on the pier. But the people who live here don't care. Oh well, a few shots of tequila and I won't hear a thing. HOPEFULLY. Say a prayer of thanks for our troops over in Iraq and other foreign countries that are fighting for our freedom and those who have fought before them. We owe them big!
