Fashion Friday

Hi, I can put in pictures again! Yea!!! I went to see "the Band" at Kobe's Wednesday. It's a great place! Lots of fun and friendly people. AOS is playing there every other Wednesday this summer. Their next show is June 10. If you get a chance, come by and see them...you won't regret it!
Since it's Fashion Friday, I thought I'd start off with this cutie pie. I love the colors...maybe for my Hawaii trip.

I am in love with this dress! Pink for all you pink lovers. This dress is sexy and flirty with the little ruffle on the skirt.


This one I bought to wear dancing...maybe at Kobe's. I love the floral print on black.




These cute butterfly T shirts just say "Tropical Vacation" to me.



I love print Tanks with plain bottoms. This would look cute with white, black or even jeans.





This would make a cute cover-up at the beach or just to run around town on the hot days of summer.
I'm so excited I can post pictures again!
Have a great weeekend!
Hugs, Susan

I'M BACk!

This was a busy week! I promised I'd show you my flapper outfit for the Royal Regional Red Hat Queen's Council luncheon. This was last Sunday. It was lots of fun and I won three door prizes: the headband I'm wearing, a $25.00 gift certificate for jewelry, and earrings! They have lots of door prizes at our luncheons.


Then on Tuesday, Caren, Paul and I went to Laughlin to see my brother and his wife. We ate at Bob's Big Boy on the way there and back. Bob's lookin' a little lecherous.

This is what I won in Laughlin!! Over 300 dollars...I couldn't believe it because I never win. That's why I took a picture of it. I was in shock!


This is me with my handsome brother, Gary and his wife Shar. I took us all for a lobster dinner with my winnings. This is at The Steakhouse at the Tropicana Express.



I love this photo. They look so cute!
Tomorrow I'm going to the Scottish Festival in Costa Mesa.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs, Susan

Lots of Hugs,

Doheny Blues Festival

I'm really excited because I'm going to the Doheny Blues Festival on Saturday to see Brian Setzer and a bunch of other great musicians! I looove Brian Setzer. Loved Stray Cats, loved the Brian Setzer Orchestra and can't wait to see the new group.

I'm also thrilled because I won Cindy's giveaway. I won those fabulous candle scounces! Yahoo!

There are so many good things going on in my life that it's starting to scare me. You know when wonderful things happen and you're afraid something will go wrong cos maybe you don't deserve it?

I also had a great time at Kobe Steak House Wednesday night. I did get some pictures and will post them soon!

Sunday I'm going to the Royal Regional Queen's luncheon. It's a "Roaring Twenties" theme. I have a red fringed dress to wear. I'll take pictures of that, too. Then on Tuesday, Caren, Paul and I are going to Laughlin to visit my handsome brother and his lovely wife. This has been one busy week but lots of fun!

Have a great weekend!

Dirty Dancing!!!!

Last night Carolyn and I went to see "Dirty Dancing" at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. I was so impressed with this production...I can't even say how fantastic it was! If you can go see it. The music, the dancing, the scenery are indescribable! The scenery and sets are like fantasmic (for all you Disneyites). They even have the dancing on the log scene over water!


I wish I could do that!

Next stop for this production is Broadway!






Teaching Baby to dance.
Due to a camera malfunction...I don't have pictures. These photos are from the web. You are not allowed to take photos during the show anyway but I wanted to take some of the Pantages which is fabulously art deco.
If you can get tickets, go to this. It is fabulous!
Hugs, Susan

Eddie plays bass.
Will on sax and Steve sings and plays the bongos.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day. I found myself deserted (Caren had to work at Disneyland all day) so I went to see "The Band" AKA "Art of Sax." See pictures above of Eddie, Will and Steve. They have a new gig at Kobe Steak House in Seal Beach on Wednesday, May 13, at 7:30.

This is Kobe. They have music Wednesdays through Sundays. I'm going to check it out on Wednesday when AOS is playing. Kobe has gotten good reviews for food and music. I know AOS is great. I hope you can come and check it out too if you live nearby. AOS is a great band to support and if lots of people come they keep getting hired.


Kobe's address is 300l Old Ranch Parkway in Seal Beach.



The food looks good!




All Kobe pictures are from their website.
Lots of hugs to you all!
Susan






Wishing all you wonderful Moms out there a very happy holiday!

Fashion Friday

I thought I'd show you a few things I got for my trip to Hawaii in July. Everyone is having big sales right now and I had birthday money (my birthday was May 2). This top is from Torrid. I find cute things there even though Torrid is geared toward young women. This is a purple tie-dye with a lace edging on the bottom. I'll wear it with white capris.

This top is from Avenue. It has a pretty ribbon edging around the square neck. It's also a pretty aqua color.

This one is also from Avenue. I was looking for tropical prints. It's really kind of a deep pink color. I plan on living in tank tops and capris and knee length shorts. It's usually in the 80's in Kauai in July.
Have a fabulous Friday!

My New Dishes

These are my new cottage style dishes that I ordered from Montgomery Ward. I love them. The plates, bowls and mugs are huge! They are really sturdy and in pretty colors. The pink is pink not coral and the lavender in kind of a periwinkle color. I think they'd go at the beach house if we ever move.

I have no idea why we aren't moving. It's just frustrating to me to not have a real reason...just "I don't know." It's like talking to a wall. Why would you say you want to do something and then not do it? It makes no sense to me. Sorry I have to vent. Right now I'm just doing what I can to make myself happy...living my life as best I can. "My house" is still available but for how long?

Hope you're having a good day...
Hugs, Susan

Na Aina Kai

These pictures are from the Na Aina Kai website. This is botanical garden on Kauai. I'm going to check this out. Everywhere in Kauai is gorgeous!




















We have our airline tickets and they actually cost less than when we went four years ago. Prices went up right after we bought our tickets (probably because of the swine flu scare). We got a great price on our tickets and we're borrowing a condo in Princeville from friends. So this tropical paradise trip is very budget friendly!
Hugs, Susan
