Hi All, I'm back

My nephew is now married and off on his honeymoon. The
wedding was quite nice and all the activities surrounding
it were fun. We all stayed in Harrah's Casino in St Louis
and had buses to take us to all the dinners and the ceremony
and the reception afterward. When we weren't gambling we
were seeing the sites.

DH and I drove out, on the way we stopped to visit an old
friend (we were neighbors in Panama 35 years ago). It was
wonderful to see her and talk of old times - but it was
amazing how much we still have in common. She is quilting
now, her quilts are more art type than mine. They sure are
lovely! She's building a new home in Florida and planning
her quilt studio!

Now I must get started on my list of "to do" things!

Welcome home!

Sounds like you had a nice relaxing time there! Not so sure I approve
of the gambling... ;D

They have penny slot machines... you have the fun of playing
at the machines - but no great risk of losing. I broke even, DH lost a
little.
There were no quilt shops nearby, I had to do something ;-)


When we lived in Malta, my parents occasionally went to the Dragonara
Hotel, where there was a casino. Mum would save up a fiver for the
evening's entertainment, and stop when it was all gone. She reckoned to
lose it all one in three visits, break even one in three (i.e, go home
with the five quid), and make enough to pay for dinner one in three!
She never spent more than her saved five quid plus dinner.

She buys lotto tickets. I once asked her of she thought she could spend
a really big win before we needed to screw her lid down. She grinned as
only she can, and said, Probably not, but I'd have fun trying! Yay for
mum, who is 75.

I do like that quote. My problem is that my list is rarely
written down - it's all mental. If I wrote it down I'd only
lose it! Come to think of it, I lose the mental list also;-)

My list is mental too, but I think I'm using a different meaning... ;P
