Friday Fun Link – Vegas 1992

My first trip to Vegas was around 1992-1993, my second was around 2010 and my most recent was earlier this year. So pretty wild to look at a video from around the time of my first visit and compare it to how much has changed in the last thirty or so years!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Elvis Is My Uncle? (May 2011)

My cousin in Calgary was surprised when some friends arranged for an Elvis impersonator to come to her 50th birthday celebration. This coincided with my aunt and uncle, also in Calgary, having their 50th Anniversary so it became a bit of a mini-family reunion. A picture of all aunts and uncles present made me imagine […]
