Argo, opening night with Tony Mendez

Argo opened at Jordan Commons on Friday and I had a great experience of meeting Tony Mendez, the CIA agent that the story line follows.  He is a true American hero that was not able to celebrate his successes until 20 plus years later.  I was very touched to be able to meet him and his wife Jonna who was also a Master of Disguise in the CIA.  I would love to hear some of her stories. 

The Day Crystle and Adam were wed.....

thirty three

 

 Mr. Rodney and I have been spouses for thirty three years now.  My goal is to make it to at least 50 (both living) which is closer than ever.   So far so good....

 We celebrated by taking a couple of days and just be together in Vega.  Most people when they go to Vegas will travel through various casinos and play the slots.  We travel through various Costcos to see what they have.  We also found tasty Rib Fest in Henderson.  But our real reason to be in Vegas was for a Peter Gabriel concert.  He is at the top of my "if ever..." concert list.  He was amazing!!!!  I loved every minute of it. 

I pulled this video from youtube. We didnt sit this close. 

YES CHEF!!!  We trid out the new Gordan Ramsey Steak for our anniversary dinner before the concert.  Rod had this amazing fish.  Check out the purple blobs of cauliflower puree on the plate. They turned bright pink when you squeeze lemon on them. 

 

The Commercial Costco in Vegas off of I-15 on Martin Luther is incredible.  Where else would you see a whole lamb in the freezer department?

Ciao Crisciones!!

We love having the Crisciones visit but we know that eventually they must go back to the boot. 

Its easy to get great hugs when everyone falls asleep on the way to the airport

3 bags at 50+ ## and one at 20 lbs and four carry ons at  (hmmm--) 20 ## each and one car seat.  I wonder how they will get home from the airport in Milan?? It required both a car and a truck to get them to the airport today. 

 
 Some of the things we will miss--

• GO BA BA!!! Isaac asking for a banana

• (phone rings) Isaac "HELLO, HELLO, HELLOOO!!!!"

• Anyone leaves--  Isaac "Bye, Bye, BYE, BYE, BYE!!!!!!!

• Isaac laughing at Papa' trying to speak Italian

• Lotties little dollies everywhere and her assigning who plays what part. 

• Lottie wanting to shop at TJ Maxx (Mimi trained her well)

• All of the cousins over all of the time.  It honestly is like a little slice of heaven to have all of these sweet beautiful children playing  Duck Duck Goose.

Next time we see them they will be just that much older and that much smarter.  Lotties off to start school and isaac is now a little man.  He had his first haircut last Sunday and is nursery now.

Bye Bye-- we love you and miss you!!
