i met my mother (who turned 70 in May!) my aunt barbara who is as blond as me & mom... maybe a bit blonder (o: and my wonderful sis's, shari & renee in vegas for the weekend. it was a sort of a celebration to honor our very wonderful and beautiful mom and sister.
it was all new to me, i am not a regular visitor to vegas (i was there once before at the ripe age of 13). WOW what a place! it is so alive! i found the hotels almost overwhelming, in all my travels i have never experienced anything quite so large, and so many of them. unfortunately hardly any of my pics turned out... probably imbibed a tiny bit to much...
regardless it was an amazing place and i would like to go back again someday and take in some of the great shows that are offered, eat at the restaurant of a famous chef and maybe try just one last time to win a few thousand bucks!
shari, renee and i ventured out to explore some other hotels and fun shopping. this is the gardens at the bellagio, very impressive. although i think caesar's palace was my favorite, i am sure i heard elton john calling out inviting me to his show (o:
my wonderful mother & aunt had a fun surprise for us our second night. they invited us to their room and met us with crazy fun girl stuff, champagne, a ton of cash to gamble with and had prepared an amazing tribute to renee.
here they are inviting big sis shari into the room.
although we were celebrating mom's 70th we had to keep in mind (even if she hates admitting it) that renee the little baby, the perfectly wonderful golden child (sad thing she actually is...) turns 40 in september!!!!!!!!!!!!! my mother shared (allowing us to CONSTANTLY interrupt her along the way) 40 things about renee. it was pretty darned special. my mom is pretty cool, she actually saves everything.. like really saves it (not like me stuffing things in a drawer, i think she actually files this stuff!!). regardless it was a really wonderful time of sharing, laughter and tears. renee is one special girl spoiled or not she is simply the best.
my aunt barbara is so wonderful, beautiful, fun yet at the same time a serious special woman. i LOVED getting to know her, she is a new added blessing to my life! i do wish i had a not zany pic of her to post, she is so pretty... she was being hit on quite heavily in vegas by a guy of 50 and she is 66!!! again i just don't have the best pics at the same time she has an insane side that is so fun and such a blast!
my momma (i love you) and her girls. thanks for tolerating us and loving us FULLY! i believe that you are amazing and incredible! xoxo
here is the five of us, not a great picture but the only one i have. i just did not take many pictures )o:
we loved, we laughed, we sang, we danced, we cried, we remembered, we looked forward, we swam, we became friends, we bitched and we gambled (oh my gosh, good grief we are women in vegas what do you expect?!?!)
thank you mama and barbara, i love you both immensely.

leila
