Justin Timberlake AfterParty @ Ghostbar!

Last night was the Timberlake concert here in Dallas! To make a long story short, Mike & I ended up at his private afterparty at Ghostbar which was so fun! The concert was one of the best, too. I danced the whole time...I shook Justin's hand, but no pics were allowed of him.

However, I did manage to meet and get a pic withTony Romo, QB of the Cowboys, and he was super nice!! Very down-to-earth.

PARIS HOTELS

Here is the Paris hotel in west texas






This is the oil rig Gary welds on. He created the white platform above the yellow mechanism. This is brand new to the oil business. It is called the "iron derrick man". It does the work that a rough neck would do...by pulling the pipes in and out. Drive big cars........use more gas.......... keep the oil business booming!!!!!!!!

LAS VEGAS

I really am working on posting some pics on the blog of the wonderful trip we all had to Vegas. We all had so much fun , or at least I did. It was fun having the young girls with us to remind us of our 'better years" . We could have had clown noses on us and no one would have noticed because the guys all gawked at Lindsay and Theresa. We were like their body guards.

I hope we can do this in the future.....again and just think us older ones will be even more hump-backed by then.......Lindsay and THeresa. .............

VEGAS

So sorry , I know alot of you who didn't go to Vegas this week were waiting on our pictures. Due to the nature of the events that took place there ----THERE WILL BE NO PICTURES OF THE TRIP POSTED.................
REMEMBER .....WHAT HAPPENS OR HAPPENED IN VEGAS WILL STAY THERE................

We all want to keep our reputations............. and our husbands if we have one..........................

Again , our apologies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
