LOVE, a Cirque show

~ Spence's Girl ~ Leave a comment

While in Vegas I saw LOVE and it didn’t disappoint. Several years ago we went to a “Behind the Scenes” event at this theater giving us insight to the complexity of the production and how the show was written with input from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Until this trip I hadn’t seen the show.

This time I got to see LOVE and it was a rollicking ride from the first bars of “Get Back” and the non-stop theatrical experience of this Cirque du Soleil show. It is a theater in-the-round and we were in the first row. I must give credit to my sister who shared her photos as most shown here were taken by her.

Sign

“Do you ever get a sign from Spence?”

Tonight granddaughter Kira dropped by with a Shepherds Pie made by daughter-in-law Tonya. It was the best Shepherds Pie I’ve ever had, every bite flavorful and satisfying. The food equivalent of a warm hug.

Spence never met Tonya, they would have loved each other. Shepherds Pie – if on a menu he’d order it every time. Seriously every time. I sat in his chair while enjoying this meal and thought, “yup this is a sign”

For 25 years, I’ve been Spence’s Girl

St. Patrick’s Day marks the 25th anniversary for Spence and I.  Not our wedding day but the anniversary of when we became a couple.  We waited 18+ years to get married which gives us two celebrations each year, seven years married this July.

For the adventures we’ve shared and the life we’ve made together, I am so grateful and wouldn’t change a moment.  In each other, we’ve found our person.

Yeah I can’t resist doing “bunny ears” behind his head.
