Red Rock Canyon



Ladies and Gentlemen,  the fountain show will begin in the next 5 minutes.  "Luck be a Lady Tonight."  Let's just say, I felt like quite the Lucky Lady.









This is Ned and I inside the Garden at the Bellagio.  4th of July theme still going on.  It was fantastic.







This is on our Red Rock Canyon Adventure hike.  We found a little shaded ledge to sit on, since the weather was well above 100 degrees.






Brunch at Cheesecake Factory.  No room for cheesecake :(


Ava's feet had a cramp about 200 yards into the hike and to dramatically stop and rest.










Ava was quite the hiker after she got the hang of it.  I may buy her special shoes so she can start repelling next week.











Just chillin some more on the ledge, throwing some rocks.  They were made of sandstone, so they smashed into pieces quite easily.

Life

The only purpose of any "even" in our lives is to reveal our true selves. Each of us, personally, must examine the depth of understanding, compassion, charity and gratitude we possess.

In our "course" of life; events serve no other purpose.

Any deviation, from the intent of this purpose; any focus on "events" outside ourselves, or in any other person's life, will frustrate the realization of this purpose.
