I have a business meeting next week in Las Vegas, of all places. So, instead of traveling on Monday, as the company planned, I'm going early!!! :o

I'm leaving tomorrow (Friday) and will be back here very late Wednesday night........probably won't see you folks until late on Thursday.

Hold down the fort, and hope I win a few $$$$$$!!! :D

Good Luck!!! And have fun!

I know I set my limits and when that $20.00 is gone I'm done. :rolleyes: :) Usually lasts all of 5 minutes. :rolleyes: Then again, the closest I've gotten to Vegas is the airport, and there, while waiting in line to check in at the gate, I won enough to buy a cup of Starbuck's coffe and put my original investment back in my pocket. :rolleyes: :D

Have a nice trip, Logan! :) Don't go and loose all your $$$ before an important meeting and get the papers all wet! ;) ;)

Hi Logan, hope your business meeting is a success, but most of all have fun. LOL Maybe you will get to talk to Colleen while you are there, they are leaving tomorrow too. The are staying at the Rio. Chris is staying with us and I promised him I would make Shrimp Scampi tomorrow night and that we would take him to the Japanese Restaurant on Saturday, they are coming home on Sunday, got a birthday party for our oldest daughter Monday night, she will be 43 Oh My. LOL
Anyway you have a great time, don't go to any of those strip shows, LOL make a lot of money so you can come to California.
I will have a surprise to tell you on Thursday. Please take care of yourself in Sin City. LOL

Thanks everyone! Don't worry, I'm too greedy with my money to risk losing it gambling! I was only joking about the $$$. We'll be very careful, I promise!!

And now, Jackie, you have my curiosity up!! I do hope I can at least talk with Colleen, and maybe see her. I have Frank's cell phone number and the other numbers she gave to me. I will definitely try! We just don't know what our plans are yet, and I'm sort of letting Scott "drive" it since he will only have two days and I'll have all day Monday on my own.

Talk with you all when I get back......maybe even Friday morning if I'm really organized!!! :D

Logan, Las Vegas, so close, but yet so far. Just have a wonderful time while you are there - if you lose $20. gambling - well, no big deal. But if you win something, scoop it up, put it in your pocket and walk away. (Of course, I always had to put it all back.)

We will miss you.............

Hugs from Gini and Rascal

((((((Gini and Rascal))))))) right back. I'll catch up with you when I return.

Have the best time! We were watching Ocean's Eleven on video the other night and I said to Shane, gee if we get married and don't want a ceremony, can we go to Vegas and get married in an Elvis chapel!!! So don't do that, but have a fun time anyway :)

There's so much to do in Vegas. Frankly, I have only gone when someone else (employer) was paying but nonetheless -- the shows, the cheap food, the animation, the people, etc. They have worked to make it more "family-freindly" over the last decade.

Last time I went I gambled $3.25 (I am very cheap and don't like to give my money without SOMETHING in return!) but it was still interesting and fun.

Enjoy Logan! If you are with the right people -- you can have fun anywhere! ;) ;)

I wonder how Logan is in Vegas. I bet that is so much fun.

I hope she's having fun!
I've never been to Vegas, but I always think of the comedy serie Friends when they were in Vegas... that was a riot... few people got married.... Oh well, nothing to do with Logan though:)

I wonder if she has spotted Elvis yet? I know for a fact he is alive and well because I read it in the weekly tabloid!:D

Logan, Pam thinks we are booooring! So you had better post soon about your trip (tell us everything - we won't tell)!

Vegas is so much fun! I love seeing all the beautful hotels and the eating!!! That would be a wonderful aspect of that city! :) I hope you had a nice time!

Logan

08-16-2002, 10:14 PM

Oh my!! It's Friday night and I have been negligent about my trip!!! I was due home late Wednesday night. There were problems on the plane from Las Vegas and I missed my connection to Greenville in Detroit and ended up spending the night in Detroit. Just got home Thursday morning.....and was totally wiped out. It will take me centuries to catch up on Pet Talk!!!

The trip was fantastic. I had a meeting on Tuesday, which was the reason for the trip. Decided to go a little early to see the sights since I had never been to Las Vegas before. Of course, I wasn't traveling alone, or I wouldn't have gone early!!

I guess it's ok to spill the beans to you all now. Feel like you're family anyway. On Saturday night in Las Vegas, during a very nice dinner, my fellow asked me to marry him, and I said YES!!!! This mother of many is not only getting ready to add another dog to the brood, but also, a man!!! Helen and I are delighted. Can't say that I have ever been happier in my whole life.

At this point, I don't have a lot of details about when, but we're in the planning stages and I'll be sure to let you know!!! I missed you all so much, and I will try to get caught up over the next week.

Thanks girls!!! You don't know how much it means to me for you to be happy about this news. By the way, his name is Scott, and my "new, old dog" will be Murphy, who has spent an enormous amount of time with me over the last two months. She is a Yellow Lab, 13 years old, and she mostly sleeps and eats, and chases cats. But she is wonderful and I love her dearly already. And we also add two "skin" kids to the mix too!!! A boy, 7, and a girl, 9!!! We're going to have to have a bigger house!!! :eek:

And as my mother said, he must really, really love me to step into this house with all these animals!!! :D

momoffuzzyfaces

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!
Um, Does Scott know he gets all your Pet Talk friends too? He will need to come join our party!!! I'm so glad for you all!!!:D

I'm working on some new pictures for you, Popcornbird! Sorry, I've been a bit distracted lately!! :o Oh, and by the way, I was married some time ago, for about nine years. But Helen and I have been by ourselves for almost 10 years now. What a wonderful change this is going to be for us!!! :D

P.S. 3 dogs never work out so you will need to get a forth so its even!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Congratulations Logan, that's wonderful news! How could you concentrate on your work after having a surprise wedding proposal - the rest of the trip must've been a big blur! YAYYY!!!

08-18-2002, 04:42 AM

PROFICIAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's how we say it in Dutch , Logan !!!

I am oh so happy for you !! What a romantic dinner that must have been !!
We were in Vegas in 1984 . Not for gambling .. . We were living in St.Louis , Missouri then (during 2 years) and we wanted to visit some national parcs in Utah ; the cheapest way to get there was flying into Vegas and rent a car from there !

I wish you all the luck in the world , Logan and Scott !!!
Aw , that will be a "noisy" household ................

LOL!!!! Connie, you are too funny!!! Roger would LOVE to be in our wedding!! :D :D He is such a personable guy anyway.....maybe a nice rendition of Zippity Do Dah, Roger style, would be a nice addition to the ceremony, or at least the reception!!!! :o Too funny!!!!!

:o Ok, I'm imbarssed...I just now looked at this thread, and OMG!!! I'm sooo happy for you Logan! I just knew there would be someone out there for you. I remember you telling us all the mean things people would say about you not being able to find a husband because of all your animals...guess you proved them wrong!!
Again, I feel stupid I didn't check this before and please forgive me, sometime I don't know what I'm thinking:rolleyes:

CONGRATULATIONS & BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!

Logan

08-21-2002, 08:15 AM

Thanks, Anna. No need to be embarassed! LOL!! In fact, it was my own mother who said I would have trouble finding anyone with all these animals, plus the fostering I was doing. When she realized my relationship was getting serious, she said that he must love me a whole lot to take on all these animals! Well, he does!! Hehehe!! :) And we're adding his dog to the crew, so it will be a houseful of kids and animals, but we're so excited we can hardly stand it!!!
