Photo ©2006 Roger R. Lopez, La Vernia, Texas...Although I am not a photographer by any means, I do take pleasure in snapping photos so I thought I would try a shot at sharing some pics and also share some thoughts about myself and my family at the same time. I happen to know two very sweet and dear people who have a true passion for photography and have taken some fabulous photos and their links are posted here. I truly admire their talent and appreciate their encouragement for me to try something new. I admire them immensely and would love to possess even the teeniest bit of their talent! Thanks you two! So about me... a girl who grew up out in the country in the outskirts of San Antonio, Tx in a small town called Elmendorf, Tx. I grew up in a humble family of 6 who lived on 33 acres. Let me tell you it was the best! My parents grew their own fresh fruits and vegetables. We used to have an orchard of plum trees. It was the best being able to go and pick a plum to eat right off the tree...yum! I'll always be proud of where and how I was raised and will never lose my love for living out in the country! My dream is to live out in the country again someday!

Hmmm margaritas... that was my drink of choice when I was in San Diego this summer.
These Vegas pics are cool, it looks like a very surreal place. One day I'll have to check it out.
Wow! Nicely shot :)
Sounds like you had a great time there. Good of you to share a piece of Las Vegas with us.
Sunshine thoughts headed your way...
Hooray! You're back! I love the Vegas pics, especially the first one. Great shots! Stay with us this time ;-)
I've lived in California for almost 20 yrs. now and have never been to Vegas. I grew up in NJ and was a Blackjack & Roulette dealer in the Atlantic City casinos!
From what I hear and can see from your photos Vegas puts Atlantic City to shame... but then again I haven't been back in many years so for all I know thre's an Eiffel Tower on the East Coast too!
Hope you had a great time! By the way did you win or lose?
Hey there, Brucie!! Wonderful hearing from ya!! Cool..I just love 'margs'!

Hi Sharon!! Thanks so much for the sweet comments! Wow...interesting info. that you shared! Las Vegas is really beautiful...I hope you get to visit it someday! Unfortunately, I lost but that's okay. We soaked in the beautiful sights, lights, and sounds of the place. We saw a couple of shows and ate at some really nice restaurants and did some shopping for the kids. It was great!!
Luv and sweet sunshine to all of you!! Thanks so much for the visits and the comments!! I love them!! They make my day!!
