Not in this Lifetime.

…..continued from last blog. As we arrived at the concert venue, we were immediately pointed in the direction of the VIP line.  Obviously I ALREADY enjoyed this concert experience so much more than the ones prior to this.  Without any waiting, and as soon as we got our tickets, we were escorted to another entrance.  This entrance led us to an area that was a far cry from the stark and dingy hallways of the stadium.  The floors here were carpeted, the lighting was softer and the mood was just right ;)   Now THIS is where I belonged.  The VIP lounge! We each grabbed a glass of wine and toasted to what would no doubt, be one of the best nights of our lives. As we entered the stadium, I paused to process the grandeur of this moment.  I looked up, way to the top, where fans were scraping the stadium roof with their hair…..……and here I was lucky enough to be escorted to the front of the stage.  I didn’t take things like this for grante

Slash, and the cat.

The key to writing a successful blog each week is to follow the parts of a simple story:  exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and conclusion.

Here is the concluding picture of my upcoming story. Yes.  THAT happened.   I actually met THE one and only Slash from my favorite band of all time, Guns and Roses. Now let’s back up a bit to the beginning shall we??  The "exposition" if you will.

Lawn Wars. The Finale.

I’d like to take you back…...back to a cold and wet afternoon in May.  That day, I posted a video in which I was VERY frustrated about the state of my lawn.  Do you remember this video?? Of course you do!  You remember EVERYTHING I do!  Because you are all TRUE FANS!! For the rest of you who do not remember……..…you are dead to me.  Please stop following me immediately. Anyway, where was I?   Oh yes!  I was reminding my TRUE FANS of a video I posted at the beginning of May – where I introduced you to LAWN WARS!  A competition that I have every year with my neighbors to compete for the best lawn at the end of the summer. If you recall, I was slightly nervous during this video, because there were many wet and drizzly days in May, perfect for initial grass fertilization, yet I was behind in my lawn maintenance, and had yet to do this crucial first step in achieving the most beautiful lawn in all the land! But fast forward to the end of the
