One of the radio stations here sponsors a weekly (usually) get-together called Wine Down Wednesday. They get a wine company to serve samples of wine, arrange for some nibblies so the public doesn't get too tipsy, and give away prizes.
Several weeks ago I won a prize. Now keep in mind that I almost never win anything, so I was very excited. :) Then I found out what I'd won, and I almost fainted! It was a free one-night stay at the Ritz-Carlton at Lake Las Vegas, a *very* nice hotel, and one that has now spoiled me forever for any other hotel -- not that I could ever afford to stay there if I were paying. DH and I were completely pampered for that one night, and we certainly enjoyed the lovely setting.
I figured my winning "streak" was at an end, given my past record. Nope. Last Wednesday I won again! This time it was two tickets to see the Nevada Ballet perform Gisèle, and DH and I attended that yesterday. Wow! I haven't been to a ballet performance in about 40 years (long before DH and I married), when DT and I went to see Nureyev and Fontaine dance Swan Lake. I have to say that DH was a good sport about it all, since he's not a ballet fan; but he was impressed by the athleticism necessary for this beautiful art form. I was impressed by everything.
Now I need to come back down to earth.
I wonder if the two DD's and MIL would like to go with me to see the Nutcracker in December? ;)
