Christmas Wine!

Christmas came a little early for me, I had asked Santa for a wine cooler to replace the dishwasher, I never used the dishwasher, there is something very theraputic about washing dishes, standing at the sink and gazing out the window.

So I started doing some research and found one almost exact to the size of the dishwasher and it has front ventilation, it is perfect! The Danby Wine Cooler dwc508bls, It holds 50 bottles!

We installed it last night! it is beautiful!

Thank you to my sweetheart Santa for spoiling me once again!!

I love my kitchen!

Way better than a dishwasher!

Each shelf will hold a different wine, Pinot Grigio, Zinfindel, Pinot Noir, Riesling!

 

Butterball Christmas??

I decorated the house yesterday, so my hubby's job was to get a tree. I did not drag down all the stuff from the attic, just my Jim Shore Snowmen. I did not want to drag down the tree, I told him just pick up a little Charlie Brown tree for us....He came home with a little 2 1/2 foot butterball tree!!

 

It is really round, but it smells good and we just wanted a little tree, so it works just fine!

 

I did the best I could to decorate it and put some gifts under it!

 

Merry Butterball Christmas to you all!!

The Concert of a Lifetime!

Last night I got to see two of rocks most legendary bands, Aerosmith and Cheap Trick! Really, you cannot say Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, without including Aerosmith!

WHAT AN EPIC NIGHT!

It all started last week when I was looking to grab some concert tickets for Tanya for a Christmas gift. It is the only thing I can get her that I know she will enjoy. She does so much for me all year long and I really can't make her anything because she surpasses me in every talent, jewlery, sewing, knitting, cooking...the only thing I do know, is how much she enjoys music.

I went to tickmaster and saw Aerosmith concert in Las Vegas, I thought, there is no way I could ever afford that and it is probably sold out, Nope! Tickets were still available!!

I grabbed two..emailed Tanya and said "Merry Christmas, you are going to see your guitar god Joe Perry, pick me up Saturday night because Charlie is at the racing banquet.

So we raced down to the MGM, had dinner at the cafe and went into the arena.

All I can say is Cheap Trick is good, Robin Zander sang my favorite: Golden Slumbers, oh my, his voice is so beautiful:

 

Then the stage was cleared and a hole opened up from the floor and Steven Tyler and Joe Perry pop up and began the greatest show on earth...they rocked, they rolled, Steven danced and shook his little tushy all over that stage! We heard all the great songs and some new! And I must say Steven is looking great, very healthy put on weight turned it to muscle, he even has a little six-pack going on!

Joe Perry played his guitar like no tomorrow, and the drummer, Joey Kramer, did a drum solo that blew everyone away!

It was so wonderful to see my favorite Aerosmith songs played live, the first encore we got, Steven came out of the stage with a white piano, playing Dream On, sooooo beautiful, I thought "oh that was perfect" but then they turned that into my all time blow the speakers out in my truck song, cause it has to be loud...Sweet Emotion!!!

Oh Sweet Jesus! It was EPIC, EPIC I tell you!!!!!

So Merry Christmas Tanya, I hope you enjoyed that gift as much as I did!!

Here is a tribute to Steven Tyler with the song Dream On, thank you Steven for your amazing vocals, your outstanding showmanship, you are truly a legend!

Salmon, Ears, and Laughlin!

Hey,
I wanted to say instead of cooking a turkey this year, I adopted one from The Farm Sanctuary , so my hubby took me out along with James and his son, Brentson. We all went to Lucilles BBQ, I had the most wonderful Grilled Salmon with mustard sauce, melted in my mouth so good! Honey still had his turkey dinner with all the fixings but I did not have to cook it and I did not have to slave in the kitchen or clean up any mess! It was a wonderful day!!! Thank you honey for supporting my choice this year, even though we ended up at a meat place, I still had the choice not to eat meat!

Also, we just got home from a quick little trip to Laughlin to see my sister and her hubby for Thanksgiving fun. We stayed one night at the Aquarius, nice place! Very clean, nice rooms, great restaurants, we ate at the Italian place, delicious calamari and mushrooms appetizers, the guys had spaghetti and meatballs, I had shrimp alfredo, Christy had salmon, all very delicious!

Great Place!

Christy and I walked over to the outlet mall and did a little shopping, and I got more holes punched in my ears at Piercing Pagoda, I now have 3 in one ear and 2 in the other, I want to get the upper part pierced but they do not do cartlidge, gotta go to a peircing place for that! Anyway, we had fun hanging out, next stop is a California Christmas to see my son and his wife!

Now I get to buy lots of earrings! Fun!

Happy Thanksgiving...
