It's Official

This is a picture of the Las Vegas Furniture Market. Pretty impressive I think.


Yes, it's true. I am now officially a senior citizen! ugh. I still feel like I'm in my fortys! David had to be in Las Vegas for the furniture market so I flew down to meet him at the end of the week. Here's the list of wonderful things he did to celebrate my birthday.
1. Thursday, the night I arrived in LV, he took me to a play at UNLV - Anne Frank -

2. Friday we went to the Lux, a great restaurant on the strip, and had a wonderful meal including dessert of course. It's a Cheesecake Factory upgrade.

3. After dinner we went to see Jersy Boys at the new Palazzo resort/hotel. It was a musical about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Hence great music, dancing, touching and funny as well. Do you remember: "Big girls don't cry, Can't take my eyes off of you, or Sherry? This play won the 2006 Tony award on Broadway. We had to overlook the New Jersy language but the show was wonderful. I would go again.

4. Saturday we had a fabulous Mexican dinner after seeing an afternoon movie.

5. Sunday we drove home and changed clothes and went to Brett and Claudia's for a birthday dinner and celebration. We had tons of laughs and I loved seeing the kids tease each other about who might be the favorite. Brett was sure that he was! I'll tell you more about that later.

6. At the birthday party he gave us a day at the Spa!
I was totally spoiled and I liked it! I guess it's not so bad to turn 65 after all.

My children and grandchildren were wonderful and showered me with love and home made cards and gifts. Awesome.

Those Frankie Valli songs are the best! I bet the show was awesome. Dad looks pretty hot in that pic. I can't wait to here about the fighting over who was the favorite. Don't they all know that it's me? :)

That was a great night! I've been reading your history and have really been enjoying it.

I never know the miracle of your birth.

Amazing!

What a memorable and delightfully lengthy celebration! Wow! You and Bro. Dave are so young at heart and so vibrant. That was one of the things Jay and I most admired about the two of you. You just seemed to have a lot of fun all the time. Happy Birthday, dear friend and mentor!

P.S. Just read Brett's comment and am so curious about the miracle of your birth.
