Hogle Zoo Day May 2008

What a great day at the Zoo........ We saw all the animals even the new baby giraffe and the white alligator. We attended the bird show and that was awesome, they flew right over our heads. It turned out to be 97 degrees that day and I swear every kid in the city was there. See.....we thought the week before Memorial Day weekend and a monday...no problem...no people.............It must of been a school field trip for all the kids in SLC.......We had the bestest time ever.................

Mom and Baby

My Little Buddy.....Lukie Bear ..aka ...Spiderman

This is my best buddy..............Lukie Bear

Ok....except when he is mad, sad, hurt or just plain tired.

Then he goes to his room with his arms crossed and sits on his little bench......but as he leaves the room to go to his room he says " I not your best buddy anymore" It's sad but it's funny too the way he says it...........He is so cute. I love him so much and he loves his NANA............

Last Weekend I attended my Aunt Claudette's Dance Show in Mesquite, Nevada. It was awesome. These women's age range between 52 and 84. They call themselves the Mesquite Toes...... Cute huh?????. She has the cutest legs of all of them and the brightest smile. The cute guy in the pic is my favorite Uncle....ole Whats his name..... Uncle Chris....... Love to both of you.....

Vegas Baby....... Old Vegas Skeletons........

Wow...... This was a great find. I don't remember the ole neon sign bone yard as being at this location but then maybe there are two. I remember it being outside of Vegas.......not downtown. This is located just off Wilson and Las Vegas Blvd. I had to take the pic through a hole in the fence. If you will look close (full size the pic) you will see an old Liberace sign. When I lived in Vegas in the 70's and worked for Dr. Elias Ghanem we took care of all the stars and we loved when Liberace would come to the office. He always brought me roses and sang to me....

Sue Palmer & Her Motel Swing Orchestra

Over this past weekend my mother and I went to Vegas........ok North Las Vegas to attend the annual Steven Powers Craft Show. It is located in the Cashman Center........DO NOT...... get lost in this part of town............Scary.....This show has about 200 vendors, food, and awesome free entertainment. Hence.........my new music find for all you Jazz lovers. These Chics are fab................I bought the new CD and love it. Web address: www.suepalmer.com. We also happened upon the ole Vegas Strip Bone Yard of years gone by neon signs. OK.......another scary area.........but did get some pics. I will post later.

August 2007 Wedding

My daughter Mackenzie and her beau ....Joe tied the knot in August of 2007. It was a joyful day with many in attendance.

What's in store?.... Just alot of happily ever after..........

Like Mother... Like Daughter.........

Baby Henli Christine at 3 weeks............ Could she just be any cuter ???? and my Ivy.....what a wonderful mother and daughter.........

My latest and greatest new music find............

If you have not heard of these Awesome Aussies...... then you need to visit their website and check them out...... I was so impressed by their entire show........ If I had to give them a "genre" review I would label them as Modern Opera with alot of showmanship........ They are fabulous. This album is their latest and I listen to it all the time. Yes, I am a HUGE opera fan and these guys are not bad to look at either. Unfortunately they have now left the USA and are touring abroad. Check them out at www.thetentenors.com.

I am so impressed with my skills.................... I have now posted 3 pics and have done it with little frustration and much excitement. Nothing like a good challenge for this "Zion Girl"..
