THE SLOTS WERE GOOD

The breakfast was fun, and most of the people were leaving around noon. We headed down the road for Vinton, first stop on slot tour. Stayed there for a couple of hours, and headed for Lake Charles.

We got to our destination, checked in, and began our fun. We had 2 days of fun and good food. Annette's brother, Bill, came over to be with us from Baton Rouge. We like to visit with him, when we get to Louisiana. Baton Rouge is about 2 hours away..but he can get there easier than to Kerrville...or beach.

He plays the penny slots..I cannot understand those machines. Too many lines, and I think you can put more money into one pull than the dollar machines!!!! We had a nice visit, and wonderful meals. There was the most wonderful roast beef, and a great cherry cobbler..I did eat more than those two things, but they were the stars of the meal.

We stayed until about 9:30 and went up to the room..the pillows are so big that I felt I was sitting up all night. (Bill told us he gambled until 2:00 A.M.) I found a good machine, and sat on it for a couple of hours. It was paying enough to play and that is fun. Went back to it the next day, and won some money on it!!!!!

Woke up and we decided to go over to the other Casino that is close by. We spent about 4 hours there, ate breakfast, and gambled. They have really good corned beef hash there, and if you get a couple of over easy eggs and put them on top, it is a great breakfast. Bill and Annette grew up eating that for breakfast, and strangely enough, I did too. My mother always cooked "good for you" meals. She was an addict to Adelle Davis books. Lets Have Healthy Children, etc. etc. Hash isn't the most healthy thing, but it sure is one of the tastiest things she cooked!!!! Annette and Bill grew up in an Italian home. Annette told me her mom could really cook. I believe it, as she can cook the best meals...I would weigh about 30 more pounds if I had her cook for me!!!!

Bill left about 2:00 to head back to Baton Rouge, and we said goodbye, and continued our slot onslot! He is so sweet, and we have had a great time messaging back and forth at night..he on his computer, me on my phone.

We were walking around putting money in different machines..with no pattern at all..I found a machine that my daughter likes...stacked up gold ...anyway..I pulled once and got tripple gold 2x and a bar. I wasn't real impressed until I saw the total...$500.00. Yikes! What fun was that? I guess that was the highlight of my gambling!!!!! I had good luck, and came home with $300.00 extra dollars. Hey..that is good for me! I usually write a few checks. All in all..fun. I think our next trip will be in the Spring. (have to keep going to keep your bonus money etc. going!!! At least, that is a good excuse).

We were lucky, and our drive home was easy, and without any problems. Annette's daughter is in the hospital, and we went there first. Annette and I said goodbye, and I went home.

Back home, and my Kitty Ashby is so happy that I came back to her. Jay is happy too. I knew that!

Holly is coming by today. She is going to Debbie's (her mom in law) and will stop by for lunch with her Nanny Nan. Fun, fun, fun!!!!!! She has a birthday the 17th...I will give her her card today, so she can go to Dallas and spend some of it!!!!
