Las Vegas *** Happy Birthday to Me

Steve took me to Las Vegas for my Birthday.. I had such a wonderful time. Two days and nights filled with (whatever we wanted). We relaxed by the beautiful garden pools at "The Venetian" sipping on cocktails while strolling down memory lane. We had fabulous dinners, and to top it off Steve took me to see "Phantom". Vegas always goes "OVER THE TOP" with all their shows and this was no exception. The stage settings, costumes, and OH my Gosh!! the talent or "Cast" as some would say was SPECTACULAR!! Never before have I ever heard Soprano sung from the 4th row center of a theater.. WOW! It gave me chills.

Thank You honey for a totally Wonderful Birthday.... I love you!!

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

We spent 6 day's in Puerto Vallarta with some of our dearest and oldest friends.

Stevie and Yvonne had been their last year and loved it, so this year he invited the gang to the "All inclusive" Resort.."Crown Paradise"

The weather was Hot!! and a bit humid, but we didn't mind in fact it was exactly what the doctor had ordered. Just look at the sun kissed kids in this picture!! We have been out of high school 35 years now and four of us go back to junior high together. We enjoyed drinking, swimming, eating, shopping and lots and lots of laughing and reminiscing.

Terri has got to be one of the funnies people I know, she is so much fun to be around. I would have to say she and Stevie could do "Stand up" comedy. We call Ken (Thurston) and Terri is (Trinky).

From the moment we picked up Deborah and Calvin it was a quest to get Deborah to have a very relaxing and peaceful "1st" vacation ever!! I couldn't believe it. But after the 1st Bloody Mary in the airport before our flight she was a bit more relaxed and raring to go..

She & Calvin were always decked out in the finest of resort wear, from their sunglasses to their sandals..You two always looked Hot!!

Stevie and Yvonne were so gracious to invite us up to their "Honeymoon" suite often during our stay, they had an enormous balcony and we all sat around just enjoying each others company, drinking, eating, more laughing and the boys even enjoyed cigars. Thank God for Yvonne when the beach/street vendors were amongst us because I had no restraint and she was awesome at just telling them no. She is the consummate "shopper" of the group, Yvonne can find you whatever you want for the best price out their. Thank you Yvonne for keeping me from spending all my money on the beach!!

The boy's went out on a chartered fishing trip, Stevie, Ken and Calvin all caught beautiful sailfish, and Steve caught our dinner, a Durado.

I can't wait to see everyone else's pictures I know mine are not the best however the trip was..

ENJOY!

Steve & Me

Terri, Ken, Deborah, Calvin, Yvonne & Stevie

Reunion continued...

Check-in at the "Crown Paradise Resort, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico"

The French Resturant, @ the Resort

Reunion continued..

Ken, Terri, Deb and Calvin in the French resturant we had dinner at.

I wanted you all to see the braiding of Calvins hair. He has really thick hair to his shoulders and it really looked amazing.

We are always excited to here Stevie sing. He just fit right in with the evenings entertainment, Listen to the boy's sing a Stevie Wonder song. I think it was dedicated to Calvin since he had a beach vendor do a "Bo Derek" on his head. The video might be a bit long, I always get carried away when I listen to Stevie, what can I say I'm such a fan.

The Boy's Fishing Trip

Stevie hooks up 1st to a 100# Sail Fish... Looks like WORK landing this thing!
