I retired in 2005 after dealing blackjack and roulette in Las Vegas casinos for almost 20 years. I have one daughter and one grand-daughter who introduced me to altered art after my retirement. I was born in Iowa and grew up on a farm. I began the Memoirs of a Wildrose blog in the form of letters to my daughter to share information with her about family heirlooms and family history, plus remembrances of today, yesterday and yesteryear ! "Book of Douglas" blog is the story of my late husband, his life as I knew him, and our journey through life together. Ginny's Art blog was created to provide myself a record of my artsy creations.
Hilery and I made another trip to Bellagio last Friday after we had breakfast together. The conservatory has been redecorated for the summer and the Fourth of July. The Ferris wheel was "fabulous" with every seat filled with pots of sunflowers. I don't believe anything they do there will ever out do the Chinese New Year decor with all of the beautiful orchids of every color and size.
