I swear I am never this busy with stuff. I think? This week I drove my Grandma to Vegas. It was just the two of us. She needed time away and she loves Vegas, so Ryan had the brilliant idea for us to go. We left on Monday (Veterans Day) but stopped off at my grandfather’s grave. I cleaned the head stone and put some fresh flowers on it as well as Ryan’s grandmother’s grave. It was sad. Then we set out on our adventure. We stopped off at my cousin Monica’s new house in Apple Valley to see her and her new puppy. I am so impressed with her house!! It is so large and beautifully decorated. She is so happy there! I miss her not being close but I am glad that she is in a great neighborhood and around family. She really has a great life out there!! I am so happy for her. Such a cute puppy!! I want another one!!
We got into Vegas around 5:00 and after settling into our room we hit the tables. Most people who know my grandparents are aware that they went to Vegas every month. So it isn’t a surprise when all the employees know my Grandma and remember my Grandpa. So it is fun. I felt like a character on “Cheers”. The majority of our time was spent at her usual casino. I dragged her away to see the Bellagio fountains. She loved that!! Then we left on Thursday morning after a quick good bye to the tables.
I came out ahead on my money. But felt so strange to think that I had no connection to the outside world. We didn’t watch TV and I had no internet. So to come home and find that the Kings lost to the Ducks and the writers strike is still going on was a push back into reality. All in all though it was a great time! I really enjoyed having my Grandma all to myself! She is such a character!! She is legally blind so it was a lot of fun giving her the audible play by play of all the events. It was great to hear all of her stories again and some new ones. She tends to brag so it was fun to hear about her glory days. I may have to take her away again. It was a lot of fun!! I was so happy to come home and see Ryan and my animals. If there was a way to have Ryan come that would make it a perfect trip!!

Grandma and I in front of Bellagio
She was willing to wait the 15-30 minutes for the next show. After three minutes she was done waiting. So we headed back.
