If you live in the Denver area, Will is playing Jazz @ Jack's tonight. You should go if you can...you will have a great time. He's super talented and not bad to look at either.

I just joined the Victorian Tea Society and I thought I'd show you the outfit I ordered. This is the hat I'm getting...a lot more "foo foo" than I wear with the red hats but I was in a "foo foo" mood.

Sorry I turned my back to you. No this isn't me and this isn't the color of my dress either. I'm getting tiny pink roses on a black background. I have kind of flat butt so I thought the back detail would be fun.

Now you can see the front. This is a two-piece outfit. The black parts will be black...only the print is different.

My friend Sharon wanted me to book a last-minute trip to Las Vegas and I'm really stressed out trying to find a good deal for a week-end. It's way too expensive! I'm now out of the mood because I'd rather spend the money on somewhere more fun. My brother lives in Laughlin and he would meet us in Vegas but I can go to Laughlin to see him for a fraction of the money. So I might just drive to Laughlin and say "Bye, Bye" to Vegas. Usually we go to Vegas in the summer when it's cheap because it is hotter than ...well you know! Typing this and venting is calming me down.

Happy April Fools Day!

Hugs, Susan

Monday at the Movies

I saw this movie this weekend and it is so funny! I was laughing out loud (rare for me) and snorting (not so rare)! It really shows some differences between men and women in truly hilarious ways. Be warned though, it is not for the super conservative because it does have an "R" rating and you will hear the "F" word and sexual comments. Remember it's a "man thing." It does have a rather sweet kind of story and Paul Rudd is his usual endearing self and both actors are outlandishly funny! Well most of the cast is outlandishly funny! Take your boyfriend or husband to it. It could provoke some interesting talks, too.
Hugs to you,
Susan

Village Inn on Balboa Island (2 Weeks Ago)

I thought I'd share some photos from the Village Inn on Balboa Island. Will's playing to the crowd. They have a tiny dance floor. Usually we have to move the chairs and tables back to create space to dance.

This is Eddie (with guitar) and his son Sean. Sean was a guest singer that night.Here's a bunch of us during break time. I forgot the name of the woman in blue. Then it's Eddie, Me, Will, my friend Carolyn, Jennifer (Eddie's girlfriend) and a young fan who is a friend of Jennifer and Eddie.

Will and Carolyn.

Will and me.

This is a really fun place to go on Sunday evenings with good, not expensive food. Everyone is friendly. And of course the music is great!

Today I'm going to the Riverside Air Show. I'm still waiting for my camera to be returned. It is on it's way. So I won't have pictures.

Hugs, Susan

Fashion Friday Cute tops

Last week we talked about skirts so I thought I'd show you some cute tops to go with them. These are from Fashion Bug. All of them would look great with a black pencil skirt.

I'm trying to get away from so much black and white which is my old stand-by. I'm loving florals this spring.

But some black and white things just look great.

Love this hot pink top for a dinner out.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Hugs, Susan

I just got a catalog from Montgomery Ward. I'm thinking about this computer desk. We need a new one. I like that you can close it all up and hide any messes. It's very inexpensive, too.

I also love these dishes which I don't need but want anyway. I've always liked fiesta ware and these are similar but I love the ridges on the cups, bowls and plate edges. The colors are pretty, too. Each set has all four colors.

I may have to stimulate the economy!

My Beach House (I'm thinking positively)

My kitchen. I'm thinking of painting the cabinets white because some of the doors are a little worn around the edges. That look is better on painted doors than woodgrain I think. I love the spaces above the cabinets that I can decorate with cute stuff.

The dining area. There is room for my farmhouse table. I'm thinking of two stools to go with the counter on the right side. I want to switch out the fan for a cute, casual chandelier. I also want to put casual floor length drapes on the window. They will probably match the ones in the living room.

Living room with fireplace and window showing. I love the French doors but I'm not sure what to do for privacy at night. The living room has a sky light too which I like also. I love light, light, light!

I love the fireplace: pretty and simple.

French doors are the front door. I don't mind the openess during the day but I want a little privacy at night. I love the white fence around my porch.

I love this place. I'm praying we can get it because it is my heart's desire. I don't care about a big, fancy mansion. I just want a little house by the ocean. I can walk to the beach in maybe five minutes max because it's right across the street.

This house has two bedrooms, an office, two bathrooms and a laundry room. Perfect size for us.

Hugs, Susan
