A Perk

I got a coupon in my school e-mail during May for Teacher Appreciation Month that offered a discount to teachers for many of the big shows in Las Vegas. So last week when our son and his family were here, we went to "Stomp Outloud" and it was FANTASTIC! We took our 5 year old grandson, too, and he enjoyed it almost more than the adults. It was so entertaining and he is a musical kid who is talented at singing and dancing. I highly recommend this show if you're coming to visit us this summer. Go to the link, if you haven't heard about it, and you'll be intrigued. I'll go with you and we can get the "locals" discount at least.

Then last night, for a belated anniversary outing, we went to "Mamma Mia!" -- the Broadway show created around ABBA music. What a blast!! We had really good seats, front and center. The cast is wildly enthusiastic which impressed me since they've been doing this twice a night for six years (!!) and the show itself is highly entertaining. It's closing at the end of this year and so they're offering half-price tickets for the entire house through September. Again, if you're even thinking about a Vegas trip, come before then and see "Mamma Mia!"--it's fabulous!

**Special Notice to Offspring: your parents miss you...we'll take you to see ABBA music...swimming pool season is here...love to have you visit, even for a weekend...
