Happy May Day...

Today is May 1st. Okay, it was really yesterday, but I was gone.

Wow. Time is flying by at an amazing rate.

Ron and I will celebrate 31 years of marriage on Tuesday, May 4th. Thirty one years? Is that possible? Where has the time gone. We were married, then we had babies, and now we are both "retired." That last is in quotes because if you follow my blog you know about my "retirement."

Anyway...This weekend we decided to celebrate by going to Winstar in Oklahoma and spending the night at the casino hotel after a day of gambling and a Neil Sedaka concert. I will leave out the intimate details of our getaway since my daughter reads this blog and right now she is saying, "Eeewwww." Back to the concert: Sedaka may be 71 but he is still incredible. Still has the voice and OMG, the songs! I didn't realize all the artists that he has written for or who have recorded his songs (Elvis, Sinatra, Patsy Cline, Bobby Darin, David Cassidy, Captain and Tenille, Connie Francis to name a few of the DOZENS). Songs like...Calendar Girl, Breakin' Up is Hard To Do, Where the Boys Are, Solitaire and the fabulous song he recorded with his daughter..."When you walk into a room, you know you steal my breath away...When I look into your eyes I find it hard to find the words to say..." Old songs, new songs. Fabulous!

But, I digress.

It was our anniversary getaway. Gambling fun. Concert fun. Staying at the casino hotel because it was "convenient."

Okay, we paid a lot of money for this room, but it was gorgeous. Brand new. Lush. Bedding to die for. Quiet...no noise in halls or walls. I slept like a baby.

While I will probably NEVER pay $200 for a hotel room again...it was a nice experience...as these photos will show. Okay, they don't do it justice. You would have had to be there...but then, that would have been weird.

Okaaayy...





So...happy 31st anniversary to my wonderful husband, Ron, and may we have at least 31 more together. I love you.
