Barry concert

A dream for me has been realized! I went to see Barry Manilow in concert!

My whole life I've wanted to see him in concert and I just happened to be going to Vegas last weekend and staying at the Hilton for a convention. I couldn't find anyone to go with me to the concert so I went by myself and just loved every minute.

Growing up Barry Manilow was the only music EVERYONE in the family could agree on, mom, dad and all 8 kids. So we listened to him a lot...especially on car trips, which there were many of.

I was able to sneek a few short video clips of "Mandy" and "Copacobana" my favorite!

ENJOY!

Barry is very old and he is very quirky, but he is just delightful and endeering and has some amazing songs that are timeless! Love you fordever Barry!!!!!

Natalie's first steps

Last night, Sunday the 26th of April, Natalie took her first steps!!! It was fun to see the excitement on her face as she reached this milestone with all her family cheering her on!

Happy Earth Day!

Everytime I go to the store and see how many plastic bags I use I cringe a little inside. So today in honor of Earth day I finally broke down and bought some re-useable grocery bags. There's a coupon in the Albertson's add this week where you can get up to 6 bags for a whopping 59 cents each. $3 and some change is worth the good feeling I will now have in my heart when I can refuse those Earth-eating plastic poisonous bags!!!!

Now, I don't claim to be a tree hugger, but would like to do my part here and there. If I could stand to use re-useable cloth diapers...I would. But I'm not quite that dedicated. I have changed my light bulbs to the energy effecient ones. If each of us do a little...we can make the world a better place....I feel a song coming on!!!!!!!!
