Playing Catch Up !!!

As you may know, I left for Las Vegas Monday morning. So I have a bit of catching up to do. First of all, we took my mom to church on Easter Sunday. Bear in mind, that this is the first time she has been to church since Christmas, since she has been sick. So I believe that it meant a lot to her. Here is what I wore:

This is a Jones New York satin blouse with a Sharagano scuba skirt. I wore Aldo sandals and a gold chain belt.

I doubled up on sapphire and diamond necklaces. After church, Doc and I went to Pinoy, the Filipino restaurant, for lunch. We ended up with some rib bones, which the boys gladly accepted.

Then, the grandkids came over for their Easter baskets. Elli helped them celebrate.

Calista modeled her tiara with gorgeous yellow hair.

Benjy and Joseph were thrilled with their gifts.

Kim showed Benjy how to use his bubbles, while Joseph counted his money.

Before you know it, it was time for me to kiss Elli and Doc goodbye.

And two hours later, I was on Las Vegas Blvd, aka The Strip.

I got there in time to do a little shopping (duh) and I will show you the spoils later. But now, I will show you the Conservatory at the Bellagio. It had an Asian/cherry blossom theme this time around.

Up on the ceiling, there were Japanese parasols.

Two beautiful birds were on either side.

A giant crane spread his wings to greet you.

There was a nest filled with little origami birds.

And bamboo cages with live finches chirping away.

There were more finches, along with cherry blossoms, up in the glass ceiling.

Big cherry blossoms sprouted, and also hung from the ceiling.

And finally, a turtle bid you goodbye.

Today was the first day of my conference. Here is what I wore:

My new Donna Ricco black and gold brocade dress. I wore my velvet Talbott's belt.

On top, I wore my ivory/gold lurex blazer.

My Greenbeads by Emily and Ashley knot necklace was perfect !!

On my left arm, two gold bracelets, and my tiny infinity wedding band. On my right arm, two more gold bracelets, and my Nordstrom veiny boulder ring.

After the session was over, I went for a walk to get my exercise. I saw the ring all set up at the MGM Grand. Manny Pacquiao will be fighting there on April 9.

Doc has been sending me pix and videos of my sweet little Elli, to cheer me up and make me feel less homesick.

Most of them are of her eating or begging. She's still super cute.

Well, I will show you all what I bought while I was here in my next post. In the meantime, I will get ready for tomorrow and go to bed. See you all later!!!
