Quote Time

 I know that some of you are missing my quotes, so here we go with a few good ones that I like!! 











Happy Thanksgiving!

As I sit here at the end of this Thanksgiving Day, I am thinking about the many blessings that I have been gifted with during my lifetime. I don't even know where to start and how to express how full my heart is. 💖 I have thought about the many family celebrations that I enjoyed when I was growing up. Family gatherings were important to each side of my family, and I definitely remember lots of good family time. I sure hope that we helped to create some wonderful memories for our children and grandchildren and that they will be able to look back and smile! 😊 Denny and I have spent several holidays away from our family while we have lived down here and today, I am super missing everyone and longing to be with my family. I have sure been blessed with a great family and friends. Only a few more months and we can get moved back! 👍

Concert Time

Tonight, Friday, November 22nd, we went to a great outdoor concert and watched Eric Dodge perform! We have attended many of his shows and I watch very carefully for any that are coming up!😉Our next one will be his free Christmas concert on December 16th in Hurricane. You can bet that it is marked on my calendar!😀It was pretty chilly though when the sun went down, but luckily we had some blankets in the car and extra sweatshirts. I have been freezing from head to toe and I am afraid it is going to be a long winter for me!! 😟

 Country artist, Eric Dodge   🎤🎵🎶


Eric with his brother, Andy Dodge. There are more band members, but only these two performed tonight. After their performance, the Christmas lights were turned on for the mall. 

Eric is also a motivational speaker, has written 2 books, has several CD's and teaches line dancing. Fun! 

The sky was beautiful tonight!

Viva Las Vegas!

On Wednesday, November 20th, Denny and I went to Vegas for a couple of days. We have been wanting to get down there and finally made it. My cousin, Bonnie flew in from El Paso and was visiting her daughter, Janelle and her family. Bonnie's husband drove up a few days later so we got to meet him also. It was nice to get away, but we couldn't get all of the things done that I wanted to, so we will have to make another trip later before we leave here. 🚗 👍😃

Las Vegas LDS Temple



Love going to the temple with my eternal boyfriend! 💕



We tried a new place to eat called Fat Burgers and I was impressed with the burger. I didn't eat the bun, but the meat tasted just like a home cooked patty and I sure enjoyed that! 🍔

Denny is ready to go shopping with his multiple gift cards that he received over the last couple of years. $$$$$$$


The displays are just so cool throughout the store. 

Of course, I found my bears! 🐻






I enjoyed this store every bit as much as Denny! 😁

Denny scored pretty well! 

The nice salesman even loaded up his reel with line for free!



After lunch at Cracker Barrel, we headed toward the Extraterrestrial Hwy which I have had on my bucket list for quite a while. We got a late start and couldn't see all that I wanted to, so we will have to go back again! 👽

"Area 51 is the common name of a highly classified United States Air Force (USAF) facility within the Nevada Test and Training Range. Details of its operations are not made public, but the USAF says that it is an open training range, and it is commonly thought to support the development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems. The USAF and CIA acquired the site in 1955, primarily for flight testing the Lockheed U-2 aircraft.

The intense secrecy surrounding the base has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component of unidentified flying object (UFO) folklore It has never been declared a secret base, but all research and occurrences in Area 51 are Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI).The CIA publicly acknowledged the base's existence on 25 June 2013, following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed in 2005, and declassified documents detailing its history and purpose.

Area 51 is located in the southern portion of Nevada, 83 miles (134 km) north-northwest of Las Vegas. The surrounding area is a popular tourist destination, including the small town of Rachel on the "Extraterrestrial Highway". (Wikipedia)





I was disappointed that this was closed. 




The fencing is right next to the building above. There is barb wire on top of the fencing! They do not anyone getting in there!!  


No alien encounters this time! 😕👾

Pretty sunset colors 


Had to get a magnet from the store of course!
