Vegas Was A Blast and a furnace!

Great Hotel
WOW!! the food
The Wynn Buffet to die for!!!!
We watched a teenage boy ie shredder inhale bacon etc. etc.
I don't think he ever stopped chewing for a good 45 minutes.
Look out parents of our grandsons.
But the best was the entertainment!!
"Frankie Valli and the Four Season"
what a great show
and the music was the best
the info says that they sold 175 million records all before they were 30
An afternoon of the "Lion King"...outstanding!!
the giraffes were my favorite

The Beatles "Love" was way cool.
A little psychedelic, trapeze people, roller blade tricks,
trampoline jumpers, crazy wild dancing
and great music!!

fun fun fun

I love Blurb.com

I have been working on my blog book.
I finally got all the editing done and now it is published. I am so happy with the finished product.It is 8 x 11, 118 page hardback book with heavy weight paper
for $49.95
and i got free shipping

(Maybe I should do a commercial for them)Here are a few of the pages.It is so easy and fun.Lots of different lay outs, styles, colors and editing tools
My last book I did a soft cover and a little smaller.
I like this one better
Next years book will even be better
So my friends that had a few problems.
Go to Blurb.com
download blurb book smart
good idea to watch the 37 min step by step tutorial or not
another great idea is to watch the 4 min customize picture layout tutorial
"slurp" your blog- you pick the dates that it will pick up and put into a ready made book. My book had 178 pages that I edited to 118 pages.
If your text is long it will go to another page. Some of your pictures get put on one page that could easily be a smaller picture. I always resize my pictures when I put them on my blog and they have a lower resolution that isn't always good for a larger picture. While editing your book you might want to import the same picture in a higher resolution. Just go to where your pictures are like "my pictures" and import and trade out the pictures.
***I just saw that you can edit your book in a PDF file and then send it to them. Not sure how that works but I guess that is something people have been asking for.
My only complaint is... I would like to start working on 2009 but I haven't figured out if it will slurp some now and then slurp more later.
Hopefully that will help you get started and if not call me.
Have fun!

Retro or just old?

This past weekend Dane and I went to Girls camp in Lewistown for Bishops night. Since we have been having lots of rain EVERYTHING was green. We could of been in Ireland but we were not. Lots of rolling hills and then into the Judith Mountains to the camp. Dinner was great, another down pour, the fireside with just our ward girls then the testimony meeting i.e crying time. We had a great time and both us of really enjoyed our little trip. However, if I ever have to go as a leader just kill me. Not loving all the silly girls.

We decided to stay at the only "nice" hotel in Lewistown the Yogo Inn.
As you know we don't camp.
Has been here for many years as you can tell.
We couldn't tell if they were trying to be RETRO
but I think it was just really old.
It looked like an accident waiting to happen,
so says the personal injury attorney.
Not to mention they just gave you a key to the door, not even a dead bolt.So this is what you get for $100.00 a night in Lewisitown.
The air con units were right outside the window
and they ran all night, very loudly.
On the up side, no dogs woke us the next morning.
We actually slept until 7:30, a firstLewistown has a new golf course so we thought we would try it out.
Actually, it is a converted cow pasture.
We lost many balls to those cows.
We thought we kept hearing a cell phone.
No, it was just cows mooing.
I must get back to the gym.
My drives were not testosterone laced.
(I am trying to chip here. It wasn't working either)

A Second Look

It took almost a month to get the house renovated.
You know in the back of the People Magazine
they have these 2 pictures that look the same but they aren't?
So can you tell the difference?
There really are ELEVEN changes.
Believe it or not.
See if you can spot them.
One is really hard
