Regina, birthday girl

St. Paddy's Day cupcakes 

Regina's faux silver pieces

Today is Regina's birthday!  She spent the day with us in Faux Silver class.  Colleen Mc made her delicious cupcakes and we also celebrated St. Patrick's Day.  Wow, what a great day! We teamed up in pairs for this class.....and we were having so much fun making these pieces we didn't even notice we didn't have the music on as we usually do.

This was one of my favorite classes by far......so much fun to make these pieces and they all came out so beautiful.  Love them! Colleen My, Winston, and Gloria also made some nice pieces......sorry ladies, missed getting pictures of yours.  Thanks Colleen for another super class.  You rock!!!!!!                     Happy Birthday Regina!

22 years.....

Last Friday was 22 years anniversary with my current job! Wow!  Doesn't seem like it's been that long....the time flew by so fast.  How does that happen? Congrats to all my former classmates who made it this far too.  We did it!!!

Ran a 5K race today......

Me at finish line

Awards ceremony!

Winning 1st place in 5K age 50-54 female

Girl Power

......and came in 1st place for female in my age division!  Two of  my co-workers also ran and won.....1st place trophy for overall female (5K and 10K) and 1st place in 10K for age 30-34 female.   Woohoo!!!!  It was windy and there were a few uphills in the run but I felt good.  Hadn't run a race in a few years and never won anything in a race.

The Las Vegas Black Mountain Lions Club put on the race which was officially called "Run for Sight."  It benefited Nevada Blind Children's Foundation, Nevada Blind Center, and Sight First Foundation.

Raffle prizes were really great....from gift certificates to Village Runner, Smith's Food King, race posters, race shoes, coffee, Krispy Kreme donuts, and the grand prize was a helicopter ride for two around the Grand Canyon.  I won Krispy Kreme donuts. Yummy!

It was a great morning, for a great cause, with great friends! It was held in Bruce Trent Park in beautiful Summerlin.  Most inspirational was seeing the blind walking in the race!  They are the true winners!
