Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 80th Birthday Dad!

I didn’t get a chance to make an updated video so this one I made four years ago during quarantine will have to suffice to celebrate my dad’s milestone 80th birthday. Love you lots! (At least we all look four years younger in these photos!)

Secular Sunday – Elvis Presley Wedding Chapel

Did I mention we’re going to Vegas for Easter?   What’s that old line – if money is your God, then Vegas is Heaven?  And I think that makes Elvis the analogy’s Jesus. 😉

Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

Such a good song.  Loved the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix too! “Me and My Monkey” – Robbie Williams

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Zumanity (May 2012)

Saturday Snap – Some People Buy At Duty Free…

…some people just keep taking the free beers from the in-room mini-bar every day then bring them home in their suitcase! 😉 Could’ve had a really good score this trip if I’d thought to raid my parents’ and sisters’ rooms too! (Not pictured – a can of Heineken Silver that I got at the beach, […]
