Last year, 2,050 people participated in 125 hikes and programs at trailheads, campgrounds, picnic areas and fields of the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, said Bob Loudon, partnership coordinator for the U.S. Forest Service.
“Do they make me look like a movie star?” a woman asks, flashing a toothless grin as she points to sunglasses on her weathered, wrinkled face. Jay Schwartz reassures Susie that the shades fit just right and tells the homeless woman she can take one pair for free.
Sending your children off to college is exciting. They’re buying items for their dorm room and oftentimes, preparing to live on their own for the first time. Even at age 18, your child or grandchild may seem like a baby to you, but in the eyes of the law, age 18 is an adult.
Life-size paintings of unfamiliar faces stretch from floor to ceiling across walls filled with other art on every surface. Colorful metal vases block what’s supposed to be a small window between rooms. Stone sculptures adorn a table down the hall from rooms of white-and-blue dishes displayed on a dozen shelves. One might think the southwest Las Vegas property is merely a storage unit for meaningless junk.
At Memory Lane Music, people come to learn how to play piano but stay because of the friendships they’ve made.
I fell in love with The Beach Boys while a teen in Kansas City. Their life, via their music, was an endless California beach party, something I could only imagine in the Midwest. Later, I lived several of those summer beach parties and have fond memories. Those memories return Aug. 3-14 when Al Jardine’s Endless Summer Beach Party performs at the Riviera.
Stella Romero couldn’t really see much on her zipline ride above Fremont Street. She could only feel the breeze brush across her skin as she gained momentum.She was flying. The 92-year-old is legally blind, but that didn’t stop her from soaring along the famed canopy on a trip organized by the Blind Center of Nevada.
I used to play bridge and lunch, or tennis and lunch, with a very elegant, socially prominent group of girlfriends, all wives of local upscale men in professional businesses doctors, lawyers, CPAs, two superintendents of the Clark County School District, two governors and two U.S. senators. Several lived on Pinto Lane or on Rancho Circle, or similar fancy digs. There was no Summerlin, Siena, Turnberry Place or MacDonald Ranch. We’ve all scattered now, moved away or divorced, remarried or quit, like me. We’re still friends, but our lives have changed, and our children grown up.
When Janet Snyder’s husband passed away, she didn’t expect that her pension benefits would allow her to live a life of luxury or buy a mansion in Beverly Hills. But she did expect that she would be eligible for full government entitlements.
You might say she has a voice like “nun other.” Lisa Donovan, who has a long career as a singer, said she’s always looked forward to her newest gig. The triple threat has just taken over the role of Mother Superior in “Nunsense,” playing at the Las Vegas Hilton, 3000 Paradise Road.
