Media night for Eldorado Hotel and Casino was a nice excuse to get out of the house. Tom and I had a nice dinner a La Strada and then took in the current running show, Toxic Audio. Eldorado knows how to treat their guest… all was very enjoyable. Even though i was VERY skeptical of the show, it turned out to be fun… to be seen with friends, and a couple drinks 
Tom and I headed back to Ely for a long weekend over MLK weekend. Tom made it part work/part play and did a few stories on current events in Ely/White Pine County: Mining, Steam Engine 93 at Nevada Northern Railroad, proposed Coal-Fired Power Plants, and the big tourism Fire & Ice event at Cave Lake State Park. Whew… Add to that visits to friends… and we had a full three days!
Tom finally got a new mixer for Xmas from his parents. Just what my waistline needed! Tom baked an Xmas lemon cheesecake as his first mixer attempt… mmm mmm good!
We waited two days AFTER it snowed before we decided to sled on our hill with the neighbors. Hummmm…
Diane goes down…. way down…
Casey gets Mikey ready to go…
Tom and Mikey take their turn…
Cece, Joy and Diane…. neighbors and friends!
Lots of wind… a lil hangover… yummy bfast… and snow… perfect morning! Missing mom and sis 
Dolce hungover from playing with the neighbor’s dogs all night….
Casey hungover from … well…
Kids next door should have gotten a good surprise this morning… it only took me 3 hours and mouth FULL of Sailor words!!
Since Mom always had cookie decorating parties for me as a kid, couldn’t resist going to this one… and watching the kids… and TOM!
Tom and “special angel”
Dillan Doin’ his best
Casey still has it goin’ on!
Dennis Hof, of HBO’s Bunny Ranch, was at the grand opening of Edge at Reno’s Peppermill. Pictured are a few of the girls and Dennis… along with friend Neda Iranpour, myself and Tom Henkenius. Was a fun party! lol…
And Tom had crawled up on the roof twice to put up lights… and more lights… so a pic of that will be coming… Happy Holidays for now.
One blink and November is gone. Tom, Dolce and I spent a week in L.A. with Tom’s family and friends. More pics to come, but hey… had to get something up here… geeesh!
As a Nevada dog, Dolce really doesn’t understand the concept
of NOT drinking ocean water!
Out for drinks at Hennessy’s with a few of Tom’s friends: Baby Josephine,
Mike Martin, Lauren Gannon, Candice Reichardt, Matt Reichardt,
and baby daddy Tim Presiado.
