The Long Weekend

We had a pretty quiet Memorial Day weekend. Saturday, we did get ourselves dressed and went up to Oklahoma to the Winstar.....gambling place, ya know. We always have a certain amount of money that we can play with and we go very seldom, but find it fun every now and then. The amount this time was $30.00 each. The intention is not to WIN a bunch of money rather than to see how long you can make your money last. We split off and go venturing to find that one machine that looks fun. I like to try and find a new one.....they are like video games and it seems the less I know what I am doing the better it is. It is more than just making three symbols match with every spin. Sometimes, I won't even know what caused free spins to happen or a big pay off, but that is part of the fun of it to me. I know there is no rhyme or reason to it.....it is all in just how the machines are calibrated or whatever. Our favorite ones are the penny machines....so you can see how we can actually play a pretty long time on $30.00. We were there for hours, checking in on each other every now and then. Wayne was up $30.00 and I was down to my last $10.00, but we compared notes and then went on way again. There is no alcohol at this casino so we don't have to worry about drunks, but the one downfall is THE SMOKING!!! I try real hard to not get next to someone who is smoking and have got up and moved when it got too much for me a few times, but all in all most of the people are nice and always get as excited as you do when your machine is paying off. I have even had my neighbor sitting beside me tell me what I needed to do, cause the machine would be waiting for me to tell it a command, but I would have no clue.....FUN!! When we went to cash out we had been there about 4 hours and came out with $45.00. Wayne was the one that kept replenishing his money, he even gave me $20.00 more to play with, so all in all we left with $15.00 less than what we went in there with, which is the goal......GO have fun. With the weather being so unaccommodating it was a perfect place to spend some time. They serve cold drinks, water or a nice cup of coffee....all you want. I really did enjoy it! The rest of the weekend consisted of sitting and watching TV. We had a few movies to sit through and I did get Wayne up, I think once to go for a quick walk when the sun peeped out for just a few minutes. We did a little cook out for just him and me. We had luscious Turkey sausage and no fat wienies......which were really good. Inside I made corn on the cob, baked beans and store bought potato salad. We really did enjoy it and it wasn't real bad for us either....BONUS!!! A quick update on Wayne....his blood pressure was 107 over 69 his last reading....and to think they wanted to put him on medication. Ya know what? That Doctor would have actually thought that it was that medicine that caused his blood pressure to come down, when in reality it probably was nothing but getting the dentist thing over with and not being so paranoid about what the Dr. had told him. He has lost some weight....which burns me up. He has lost around 8lbs in just these couple of weeks and I try sooooo hard to lose and I have lost ZERO!!!It just ain't fair!!! I am glad to see he is doing better. He isn't ready for a SPEEDO, that's for sure , but then I'm never going to have a BIKINI on this old body either. Anywho.....that's all I've got for today. Till next time
