Weekend Update

We here in Oregon had a most BEAUTIFUL if not very warm weekend..
I tried my best to enjoy it!
Today was filled with re-cooping from a little fun I enjoyed last night.. Details to follow...
And this evening I decided to go do a bit of mowing after it cooled down a tad. I had a couple of helper/supervisors. Annie took a couple of laps but tired easily~ Sucks being an old broad dog.. Sigh
Snowshoe on the other hand stuck with me until it got too dark to watch where I was going. What a goooood boy!



Evening setting in my wee valley
Now as for yesterday~
My GF Connie and I decided to go have a girls night out at a casino at the beach after work. It is about a 50 minute drive from here so we met up in an adjoining town and I left my car there and off we went! We partook of the buffet dinner there and man-o-man was it GOOD!
Connie started with a fresh made to order Caesar Salad and cold shrimp
I had a dinner salad and shrimp....
I sampled the prime rib and crap legs then treated myself to a small slice of sugar free cheesecake. I had to say it was better than any store bought regular cheesecake I have ever had... Wish I knew that recipe!

We arrived rather late in the evening and the place was packed so we wandered awhile and listened to music in the bar then settled into a row of penny slots. It was around 10:30-11 and the fun started. We acted like a couple of kids playing next to each other and cheering each on as we hit bonus rounds. The machines were giving us just enough to keep playing so we just enjoyed the night out.

THEN!

I hit a bonus round that just didn't seem to end!
Count them up babies! That's a lot of pennies!
[at this point it was almost 1am!]
At about 3 we decided we had better hit the road lol

As we pulled into the town where I had left my car we giggled like high-schoolers that had snuck out for an all night party as we watched the sun rise over the mountains. I tell you I haven't had so much fun [without the nasty being involved] in a very long time. Plus it was very nice to come home with extra green in my wallet!



It was a long sleep deprived weekend so Annie has instructed me it is night-night time....
Hugs!

We meet my folks every year at a car show at one of the casinos up here. Last summer we ate dinner at the seafood buffet. I was surprised the food was as good as it was.

I agree Trav.. I was very pleasantly surprised at how FRESH the food tasted. They took pride in their line up. I will go back again fer sure! It was so nice to have healthy choices too. I am trying very hard to lose the pounds that found my ass while I was laid up.
