Viva Las ... Primm?!

Let's fast forward to present day. Over the long weekend, MSM (My Soul Mate husband) and I flew to Las Vegas and then drove to Primm, NV. There we met up with members of his family and paid tribute to MSM's sister, Kitty, who passed away nearly a near ago. Kitty had always wanted to see Reba McIntyre in concert, so guess who we all saw in concert on Sept. 5?!

We arrived in Las Vegas on Friday night and then drove out to Primm where we checked in here at Buffalo Bill's casino. We met up with lots of family members and had dinner. I went up to the room at 11 PM while MSM stayed to gamble a little.

On Saturday, I was about to hit the Outlet Mall (connected to another casino there in Primm) when I stumbled upon the family, about to have breakfast. The wait to be seated allowed me to poke MSM a number of times, whisper, "You can sleep when you're dead" and get his cute tushy out of bed. Breakfast took forever but it gave us a chance to chat.

After breakfast, MSM and I, along with niece Amy and her boyfriend, Caleb, took the shuttle over to the Primm Valley Casino where we viewed Bonnie & Clyde's shot-up car. If you've ever seen the movie by the same name with Warren Beatty in it, realize that in reality they used a fraction of bullets. After that, we did some shopping with MSM emerging as the shopaholic.

We had a quick dinner and got ready for the show. I don't know of any songs that Reba sings, but the concert was good.

On Sunday, we met up with Caleb and Amy and had breakfast at the buffet at Primm Valley Casino (pretty small, in my opinion, with limited options.) Then we headed to Hoover Dam. Photos in the next post since I can't seem to get them to post where I want them to -- yet.

Have Passport, will travel!

So my darling husband and I are jetting off tonight to Las Vegas. Except I discovered this morning that I've lost my Driver's License! It didn't slip under the sofa cushions. It wasn't on the floor in my office at work and I don't remember the last time I used it/saw it. What a mess!

Except I have a Passport so I can travel! And the passport is in its safe spot, ready for me to take it out tonight and use it on my travels. [[wipes sweat off of brow]] Disaster adverted!

Las Vegas: the glitz, the glam! Except we're not going to be staying in LV. No, we're driving a bit out of town to meet up with My Darling Husband's family. I'll post photos and details on Tuesday.

And a Good Time will be had by ALL.

A Photo??

I'm going to try to er, borrow, a photo and put it in here.

I had recently posted about trying on the National Costume and I want to show what they look like. Now, one thing to know about Croatian National Costumes: there are literally thousands of different styles. Each area, each town, each village, etc. has something different. What I've posted above is as close as I can get to what I tried on in 1981.

July 11, 1981

Travel Dairy

Date: July 11, 1981, Sat.

"I was sick last night - I don't know why. Today we got dressed up in the national costume. I had 4 underskirts, the skirt, an overskirt, a blouse, shawl & gold coins. And it was HOT! We had pic's taken. Tonight, we stood outside talking. Celo came & there were others. They were waiting to go into the Disco across the street. We didn't go, but we'll go tomorrow. Z. told me that Celo is falling in love with me. We hang out the window and listen as people leave the disco."
