Hi, dear friends! Forgive my late update. Today was a travel day for us. We are now back home and trying to unpack and say hi to all our dogs and see that my parents were well taken care of....Good to be home and yet, hard to be home, if you can understand.
I haven't had the chance yet to read all that's been posted here since yesterday, but I'm looking forward to it!! Thanks for continuing to make this thread such a special one on Meat's behalf!!
I have a quickie story to share with all of you and then I'll post my surprise of the day. (I'm SO glad you're enjoying them. Maria, everything I am putting up is just part of my ML collection. Happy to be sharing it!)
You all remember the casino story I told a day or two ago. Well, Meat was everywhere up there in Reno (or so it felt).
Today, before leaving, we went to this one large casino, the Hilton. We hadn't been there in years and years and wanted to see how it had changed. The place is HUGE--they have a complete bowling center, as well as a cinema and shops--well, you name it, it's probably there.
So, we were walking around and happened past the movie theatre. We stopped to see what was playing there--The Salton Sea!!! I knew it was going to be a good day.
Then, I treated my hubby to one of the "water massages" for his birthday. Have you seen those machines yet? They seem to be all the rage right now over here. Anyway, I'm sitting and waiting out on the casino floor for his 15 minute massage to be over with. There were bells ringing, people shouting, laughing, there were the walkie-talkies of the change people screeching barely intelligeable instructions. And through the cacophony of the casino floor, I heard something familiar. I strained to focus my hearing on it. And I heard...
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that’s a fact....
Anything for Love was playing on the casino background sound system! I couldn't believe it!! Meat truly was everywhere we went this trip!! I was a happy camper!!!
Anyway, nice to be back with you on my old computer (and keyboard). I'm looking forward very much to spending this coming week with all of you, celebrating the birthday to come!! It should be a lot of fun!!!
And so now.....
It's back to CountDown to B-day and only:
FIVE DAYS TO GO!!
I think you are all going to enjoy today's surprise!!! You have to go all the way back to 1987 for it!
Enjoy!!
I'm off to finish unpacking and settling back in, then I can't wait to come back to catch up on all of your posts!!
Take care. Let's keep this birthday thread alive and kicking through the 27th!!!
Love you all,
