Today marks the first post on the first day of my first (and most likely the only) blog I will ever have....so I hope I don't make a complete fool of myself...or bore you senseless.
I suppose I should begin at the beginning....
''I was born...'' (just kidding :-)
Seriously, I WAS born in New York and moved with my Mother, Brother and Grandmother to Las Vegas, NV. When I was 9 years old. I went, kicking and screaming internally...and losing my lunch every few thousand miles externally. We drove from New York to Vegas and I was one of those delightful children who suffered from car sickness and we brought our aging dog along who panted her horrid dog breath in my face most of the way. ( Why am I telling them this...?) anyway, I didn't want to move to Vegas, but soon discovered it to be the place I would cherish and call ''HOME'' for as long as I live no matter where I Live. For one thing, there were HORSES here!!! I rode every chance I got. Also, there are incredibly beautiful mountains and lakes and ghost towns and a thousand things to do 24 hours a day!
If you've never been to Vegas and you're over 21... GO, you won't regret it.
Vegas has grown a lot since I was 9. back then I think the population was only a few hundred thousand....it was quiet and safe and fun. It's still fun, but it's about 2 million strong now. we can even boast such things as Symphonies and Plays...as well as the customary Casino's, great golf courses and gaming. And if you take some time to drive out of the city to view some of our towns other features, like Bonnie Springs, Lake Mead for some water skiing, Good Springs Bar..where once a year bikers congregate for some serious partying, or Mt. Charleston if you prefer water skiing....you won't be disappointed!
In town, enjoy strolling the Strip for great gambling, shopping and shows. Downtown, there's more gambling (less expensive), and such features as nightly live music in the street on week-ends, more shops and the Smith Center which has wonderful productions of plays and symphonies and such.
I know we are known as the City of Sin...but there's no more sin here than in any small town in the country, it's just a bit more visible here. There are more churches in Vegas than casinos. People think prostitution is legal here but it isn't! it is in neighboring Counties, but not in Clark County...not in Vegas.
I have lived other places as dictated by marriages to different husbands, but in between husbands, I always return to Vegas. to ''HOME''...and now that I am married for the second time to husband number one...I'm here for good.
How did I come to be back to my first husband again? That's a whole other blog!
Thanks for dropping by, I hope you'll be back soon,
