I have spent 4 and a half hours posting pictures for my trip to Vegas, 2 Queen council meetings and more pics of my chapter.   Someone please look at them.  There will be a test at the end of the blog.  I have had a great month.  Vegas was fun and interesting.  I hope we made the record books for the Can Can.  I met a lot of people that that was the main reason they came.  I know that I will go down in my record book for most money I have spent gambling.  I never went over the amount that I had decided on before leaving home but it was interesting finding out that I lose just as bad in person as I do my game on my palm pilot.  I am a sore looser so that will be my last.  I staid a week and saw 5 shows,"O", Mystere, Beatles, Blue Men and Stomp. [enjoyed them a lot more than gambling- gamblers are just too serious] I also visited the grand canyon and Hoover Dam.  I had the added bonus of having my youngest son and his girlfriend come for the weekend.  The rest of the week I was on the move(monday-friday I rented a scooter) from morning until evening. It was great meeting new red hatter friends and being able to spend quality time with them.  I hope I will see them again soon.  I went to 2 Queen council meetings.  I enjoyed both.  Our meeting in Birmingham was stifled due to early in the day snow and a poor forecast.  I had a wonderful time going out to eat, shop and the movies after the meeting.  It was a wonderful day and more than worth the 2 hour ride.  I am already looking forward to the next meeting.  We are planning a swap meet in the future so start collecting your experienced clothes and hats and get ready to swap.  Well, that's all for now.  Please feel free to copy any pictures that you like.  I kept to people as in the past rather than scenery If anyone wants pics of grand canyon or Hoover dam they are the same as on TV or books but a little more close up and personal.  Take care everyone.  Sandra
