Day 289 Cranial Skeleton Surgery

Day 289

Poor Sam.  The TSA took her skull apart when we went to Denver, and now it won't line up.  Having a horizontal line through the top of her head will never do!  She's on the dinning room table, and Bob and I will try and fix her.  The top seems to be a different shape than the bottom.  How this could happen to molded plastic, I don't know.  Keep your bony fingers crossed!

Each day is a gift, open now.

Day 288 Print Express

Day 288

Sam visited Print Express in Albuquerque, where she met Stevie and Dino that are carried around by the ladies who work there.  They keep them in their purses. "Cause you never know." As I was told.

Sam likes holding the dinos! 

Sam checks out 1000 stickers we just ordered.  They say: "Follow Sam!"  Naturally she loves this, as it is all about her :-)

If you need a local printer check out Print Express on Jefferson in Albuquerque. They are fast, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.

A public art installation by Robert Wilson: "Flyway." This sculpture is on Coors Blvd. and changes as the sun does.  I would love to go back at sunset to see the difference.

Day 283 The Venetian, Gondola Ride, Las Vegas

Day 283

Sam waits her turn for the Gondola Ride at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas.  One never knows what reaction Sam will bring.  Well, it was a great one!  They loved her, she loved them, the boat, and the whole experience.

Check out the guy's face when he sees Sam in line! LOL!

The Venetian Sky

Tino our Gondola Captain

Sam was sooooo happy! Tino had a beautiful voice, and sang 3 songs to us as we floated through the man made river in the hotel.  One of her favorite trips!

Day 282 Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas

Day 282

We went the "The Gathering 5" which is put on by The Usual Suspects Network.  It's held at Planet Hollywood.  It was impossible to write my blog from their "free" internet connection. So I will post a several days at once. 

Bob was given a handmade pipe by a knifemaker from Canada Pete Rassenti.  Awesome!

Richard Rogers won the show award for the "Most Inventive Knife."  It was his first time at the Gathering.  Way to go Richard!!!!!  If you want to see his latest work, and his new blog:

This is the knife that won. No bigger than a sharpie!
