After a short layover in Tokyo from Sri Lanka, I was finally going back to America after my being away teaching in sunny Thailand for three years. My dear Hollywood friend (and X neighbour -hairstylist Anthony Wilson was waiting for me at LAX international airport. It was wonderful to see a friendly face and enjoy a catch-up chat over lunch before my flight onto Las Vegas. Landing in "loss wages" via friendly Southwest air, I was met by my Yoga teacher, Carolynn and then off to Jeana's for a yummy Mexican taco dinner. exhausted, I finally hit the bed after traveling over 24 hours! Sunday morning church at The Center and lunch with girlfriends felt like old times. Next a quick visit to Red Hat Queen Ruth who recently had eye surgery, and she looked amazing! Then a delightful afternoon tea with homemade cookies and my super Sandpiper neighbours Pat and Jan.
Monday Yoga and another lunch with my Goddess girlfriends, wearing Thai tops!
Venturing onto Henderson (South Las Vegas) I spent some quality time with Dianne in her new house. Somehow we were too busy to take photos of us together with her two georgeous and lively felines. So until next time, the images will stay etched in my memory.
Now I was going to meet Janie Lynn a friend from Rotary. Guess where we had dinner...The Elephant Bar, almost felt like I was back in Thailand, she even ordered Thai chicken salad. Always the perfect hostess and fabulous cook, Janie arranged a great party with my "old Rotary gang."
I was leaving Las Vegas with mixed emotions... it was gratifying to see so many dear friends and really enjoy being together. As I believe, a friend is forever and time and distance doesn't change the love we share. Now it was time to go to San Diego and visit my sister, see her lovely new house and her two beautiful daughters...of course see the dogs too!
THANK YOU ALL FOR AN AMAZING TIME IN AMERICA!!
