Random Tuesday ~ It is sweeter the third time around!



Yes, three times is definitely the charm.  Cheri and I took our friend, Alice, out for her birthday!  We went to the Mariott Inn in Albuquerque, out to dinner st Bravo and they next day...the Botanical Gardens, the Butterfly Pavillion and the Aquarium.  What fun!  Cheri and Alice had not been to these fabulous places so I received the honor of tour guide.  Of course, I have some fabulous pictures to share with you all.



The place to dine for sure.  Dinner was incredible.  We got an appetizer and then split a salad and a dinner split three ways.  It was still too much!!  The atmosphere and the waitstaff were charming and elegant.  I am definitely going back and taking Dr. John for sure!!!



Now does that look like trouble or what!!  Ha!!  Alice, myself and Cheri!!

The Botanical Gardens took our breath away..again!!!

The Butterflies...




The Aquarium...







Whew!!  We had a blast!  Looked until our minds were totally overloaded with visions of such beauty.  Hoped you enjoyed your tour as well.

Saturday, we are flying back to Ohio!!  Ha!  This time we are headed to Lancaster, Ohio which is about one hour south of Columbus.  Going to visit my mama!!  Haven't seen her for about one year.  I am excited.

Then she is flying back with us to visit with us here for one week.  She hasn't been here in over 12 years!!  So much to show her...so little time!!  Ha!

We are even going to Buffalo Thunder, the Hotel/Casino and Spa for a couple of days.  There is going to be an art show and classes.  So I am attending two of the classes and will be putting a piece in the show as well.  Dr, John and Mom will hang out and enjoy the amenities!!

Well, this wasn't very Random but I had fun sharing with you.  For more Randomness, stop by Stacy's at Stacy Uncorked and check it out!  Always fun and never boring!!

Stacy Have a magical and blessed day!
Hugging you

What a great bunch of pictures. I like the prickly pear and the rose and the sky looks like water behind the windmill. What a fun outing.

You're the second person in my acquaintance who has posted cactus pear photos in this past week. I'm not quite sure what that means in the bigger picture, but I like them. They're a real treat once you get past the spikes.
