well i spent 4 days in vegas at an ultrasound seminar stuffing my brain full of ultrasound physics and vascular facts. having been to vegas many times, i am afraid i am not much of a vegas person. the lights and over-the-topness of it is interesting but the gambling and seediness is overwhelming to me. i dont think i have never seen so many straight up WEIRD people. risque clothing on all the wrong bodies, kids in tow through the casinos in the middle of the night (oh wait, that was US!) and gross expensive food (what happened to the CHEAP food vegas used to lure people in with? GONE!) i enjoyed my first night alone, read for hours and hours but by day three i was ready for the family to arrive.
they spent the last night with me and then drove on to colorado where i met them that evening (i flew). so here we are in colorado!! it is gloriously green here and i spent the day learning how to can tomatoes, FINALLY!!
maybe a little out of order (and yes i am still using the phone for pictures, so dang lazy these days!) i finally got to hear the POP of the lids sealing and am very proud of myself (it was soooo much easier than i thought it would be) cant wait to do some different sauces when i get home, hoping my tomatoes are still producing. i will leave you with some amazing clouds, the skies in colorado are thrilling to me.

Yeah, they're just so open and expansive. Like a Bob Ross Painting or something.

ReplyDeleteyour skies are beautiful, as always !
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing about the food last time we were in Las Vegas... I don't gamble at all, but usually enjoyed the lights at nights... but this time was disappointing (bad service in hotels, huge roadwork & construction in the middle of the LV Blvd, more gross people than before...)
