Mom and Sparky at Ecolands Park today

This is our view from our chairs until we moved down further to see the skiers

Me from mom's chair looking the other way.  Behind me is where we put our kayaks in when we go after work.

Mom enjoyed the breeze and all the boats going in and out... just like being at a cottage

They said that this was a hydro foil... you sit on the seat on the left... the airplane  wings on the right are on the water and you get pulled behind the boat and plane above the water.

The guy is on it here... hard to tell but he is a good foot or two off the water.

This is him upside down I think.  He was doing a lot of flips and flying high so I just kept clicking.

Played tennis this morning.  The 87 year old lady showed up... 32 degrees celcius and she was killing us.  Apparently she used to be a champion somewhere.  She doesn't move very fast so if you can return her spinny hard balls somewhere outside her reach you are ok.  The trick is to be able to return them.
Then went to the Dentist where he filled in one of the chips that came off over the last year.  The others he can't repair.  He says that one of my crowns has been fileted.  It doesn't hurt and it is at the back.  Now that that year is over I shouldn't be grinding as much with stress so they should be ok now.
As you can see from the pictures... I picked up mom after lunch and picked up a sundae at the DQ and went to Ecolands park for the afternoon.  A nice breeze off the water and lots of entertainment on the water so it was fun.  Sparky hated being tied up... those squirrels were just bugging him as well as a big dog fetching a ball in the water.  Hope everyone enjoyed the great day.

I didn't go as far as I thought.  It was 22.73 km to the hospital .  My total trip was 48.19 km...not even half of the 100 but I guess the rollerblading was good then to add to it

This is where I tied up my bike while I went in for my apt.

Here is proof of where I was... I rode all the way to the General for my 3 month check up

Someone saw me taking the picture and offered to take one of me in it... proof.  I made it there...and back

Rode my bike to the General Hospital Cancer Centre today ... between 25-30 km. one way... still have to map it... my little thing on my bike doesn't work any more.  Then rode to South Keys to meet friends for lunch and then rode home.  After supper went to Ruth's and rollerbladed for an hour.  At this rate I will be ready for the 100 km in September

Fountain at the Belagio. It goes very often unless it is windy.  Music goes in the back ground and it tries to go to the music.  Not as good as the fire works at Lac Lemy but ok

Across the road from the Belagio is the Paris.  It is a lot smaller than the real  tower but still pretty cool.  The Arc de Triomph is to the right of it as an entrance to a restaurant.  Inside the lobby you can catch a ride to the top.  We ate at the base on the patio overlooking all the people.  Inside the ceiling is like the sky just like in the venetian below.

This is in the venetian... yes inside... that sky is ceiling.  The gondolas went back and forth through the hotel.  In the main lobby there were many beautiful paintings on the ceilings and walls.

This is still in the Venetian... yes still inside.  The white guy is a guy not a statue.  Lots of court jester shows here and opera singing.

Flower gardens in the Wynn.  Those coloured balls are real flowers.

After two days of walking end to end of the strip we stayed at the pool in our hotel for a little rest.  The background towers are still our hotel.  We stayed in the Excalibur.

One night we walked to Freemont Street.  Those lights on top are a lit screen that stretches from one side to the other of the street.  This is the old Vegas where the Golden Nugget Hotel Casino etc are.

This is still Freemont St.  On the roof they even projected the band during the live concert that night.  Note the  person ziplining... that black dot in the middle... they zip over the crowd end to end.

I can now take Vegas off of my Bucket List.  Been there done that.

We didn't get to Vegas Friday night.  Our plane was stuck in Chicago to get repaired so they put us on an Air Canada plane and we went to Toronto instead and stayed at an airport hotel and then flew direct the next morning and got there around 10:30.  We were supposed to take three flights and get there around 1 am their time so it ended up better any way.

Booked into the Excalibur and then started walking.  Got tickets for the Chris Angel show that night and then went through the Luxor next door and then on to Mandalay Bay where we went through their aquarium.  Lots of sharks, sting rays, jelly fish etc.  Smaller version of Sea World but I saw the biggest octopus that I have ever seen.  He was climbing the glass.  He was bigger than me.  I thought that I had a picture of him but I have lost all of my pictures from the first day.  Jim says that Chris Angel must have made them disappear when I left his show that night.  After the aquarium we walked the other way from our hotel.  First was NY NY building... has the statue of liberty out front...Brooklyn bridge end to end of the buildings which have been built to match the landscape of NY.  Across from NY NY was the MGM which we went through looking for the Lions but they were renovating so none to be found.  We walked through every major hotel on the strip and dropped a dollar in a lot of them in their slot machines.  The architecture is beautiful with lots of Razzle Dazzle.  At night we also saw the volcano erupt at the Mirage and then next door to it we saw the outdoor pirate show at Treasure Island.  We went around the midway at Circus Circus and saw the Trapeze show.  We went through the Stratosphere but did not go up and try any of the bungee jumping kinda stuff.  When we went to the old vegas we did walk there but it was still day light.  We definitely took a cab back because we were scared and our legs were tired from walking ALL DAY.

Did not have any health issues from Cuba but my legs definitely got more burnt than usual. This is an indication of how dry they are now.  I put on tons of lotion but it will take awhile to get them back to normal from the knees down.

Back to making chemo hats again with the new donations of wool/ cotton that I am getting.  I have an apt with the radiologist this month so I will be taking them in to where I had my chemo on the 8th floor.

I am back to work now on a part time basis, working on building up my mind stamina.  Physically I am ok... just got to get the old brain working again.  I worked Tues morning and Thurs morning for 4 hours each.  Deleted a few thousand junk emails and tried to get up to speed on important things that I missed.  I will work Mon, Wed and Fri next week... four hours each.  It is nice having the afternoon and the next day to recuperate before I have to go back in.  Hope everyone is enjoying this summer weather we are having.

I guess my hair is really curly.  I got mom to take a picture of the back so I could see how much hair I have now.  I had the neck trimmed twice but that is it.  This is the amount of hair that grows in 6 months.... last chemo in Oct.....

Roller blading this morning, restorative yoga this afternoon, practiced tennis at the club, grocery shopped and now time to make supper.  Beautiful weather today.  Hopefully it will be the same for the rest of the week.  It is nice weather for the boys to have to work outside in.  James is working with his dad trying to keep up doing the manual labour.  Enjoy the weather everyone.
