i didn't think this photo was even that nice, i almost deleted it!  i feel special!  lol

btw, thanks to miss lavender for letting me know about weekend america.  she was just interviewed about one of her photos...

A couple weeks ago or so I was contacted by a webmaster from World Casino Directory via Flickr.  He wanted to know if he could use a couple of my Laughlin,NV-Harrah's photos from earlier this year and I said OK, but he had to give me credit.  Today he emailed me and said the photo's have been posted.  I must admit I was pretty excited to see someone use my photo's...I know I'm cheesy!

see them here...

I figured I would post a pic of one of my favorite desserts and stare at it since I'm TRYING and I repeat TRYING to cut down on sweets.  Is anyone with me?

BLAH!!!

:-(

Here are a couple photos I took several weeks ago.  Can you tell I love roses?

Mom and I spent the whole day together and we had a blast.  I picked her up early and went to church, breakfast @ IHOP, got my car washed and then headed to downtown Los Angeles.  I've been wanting to check out Central Market which is a farmer's market with lots of different ethnic food booths.  She was surprised I even mentioned it but was glad to go.  We had such a great time talking about old times and how different everything is now.  I had a chance to take lots of pics and LMAO very much with her.  We love to make fun of people and we always kid each other.  I am so glad we hung out today.  I am sure T had fun today too @ the pool with his LB Nathan.
