Tachi Palace

I'm not much of a gambler but when Dennis is over at Lemoore sometimes I go over and stay the night at Tachi Palace. This hotel is so nice that I think a bead retreat would be fun there, the food is good and the pool is heaven! You can get a massage and pamper yourself or you can gamble. Sitting by the pool beading would be heaven to me!

Here are some fun shots of this wonderful place.

I went out by the pool just as the sun was going down and the lights on the hotel were changing colors so I had to take some pictures of that for you.

The pool picture has a glare, sorry I was in my room looking down on the pool and it was so beautiful I look the picture even thought there was a glare.

Easter

We had a nice relaxing morning with our Granddaughter Ashley at brunch. We went to Steamers which is right on the cliffs over looking the ocean I took some shots from our window seats of the ocean and the pier in Pismo Beach. Such a wonderful morning!

We need to do this more often!

Vista Point Artists

Went down to Thousand Oaks this weekend for my Master Class Group meeting. We don't call ourselves the Master Class any more it is Vista Point Artists (VPA). It was a fun weekend and wonderful to see everyone again, it's been at least 3 years since I went to a meeting. Now that I'm back on the coast I will get involved again.

It was wonderful seeing every one's projects and to catch up on what they have been doing for 3 years. Liz Smith wasn't able to make it because she broke her arm, we all need to send her good energy!

I took a few pictures of everyone and a few projects, so enjoy the pictures.

Margaret Fleming did the beautiful beaded picture that I tried to take home and she wouldn't let me!

The beaded vessel is being worked on by Melanie Doerman and I won't try and take it until she is done! Ha-ha

Vicki and Pam are working away at there table and Chris and Judy stood up to pose for me.

I wasn't thinking because I didn't get pictures of everyone or their projects, sorry. Next time I will be better about getting everyone.

Jenny's Trunk Show at The Joy of Beading

It was a fun three days with Jenny and all of her wonderful beads! Jenny came with a lot of beads and left with a lot less. I will put all of the pictures on my Face Book page so everyone can enjoy all of them. Her big bowl of beads was a hit with everyone, they would take it and spend at least 30 minutes with it if not more, looking for the perfect bead. Jenny's website is http://www.divinesparkdesigns.com/ She mails her beads all over the world! Jenny's beads are just as beautiful as her, make sure to go to her website and check it out.

My Granddaughter Olivia!

Well I flew up to Washington by myself! To those that do not know me I hate to fly but so see my little Olivia it was worth it.

I had a wonderful time with my new family, I had not met Leslie's family yet and I must tell you they are wonderful! I had a great time and can't wait to see them again.

Here are a few pictures of my son Paul and of course Olivia.

More Faces Done!

I've started a new one and will try to get pictures of it on my blog, but won't happen until I get back from seeing Olivia.

Hope you enjoy her!
