Day At The Casino

Sherri and I got up early this morning...no we did not have to work today...the only reason we would get up early if we were not working is to go to the casino and sure nuff that is where we were headed. Two cups of coffee and a shower later we were both loaded in the truck headed to Oklahoma. The Windstar is located just across the boarder from Gainsville Texas at exit 1.

It took us about 45 minutes to get there and and just a short walk from the truck to the front door. As soon as you walk in the door the cigarette smoke almost knocks you down. The ladies at the front door provided us with candy bars as soon as we got there and I mean big candy bars YUM YUM I like candy. I had to get a new card because mine was well out of date and so I got that at the front desk. Then it was time to find the winning machine. Sherri found the first machine and she started winning immediately. I sat beside her and lost just as fast as she won. Good for me she is lucky or we would be broke.

We played until about 12:00 noon and hungry took over. We passed up the buffet for the grill which was much cheaper in price and we didn't really want that much to eat. Besides that we were going to meet Rodney and Becky later that day to eat dinner. So a hamburger for me and a salad for Sherri and we were ready for the second round of gambling.

We neither one gamble much for we do not have much to gamble with. We like playing more than gambling. The machines fascinate us...the animation and the bells and gongs the bonus rounds free spins etc. Dortha told us that we needed to play the Lady Bug game but we did not find it till late and they were packed in there tight. No one was going to budge off those machines so we settled for some new games and did pretty good on them. Sherri won $30.00 on the first machine and moved to the second machine where she won $37.00 and the 3rd machine she won $20.00 ...she ended the day out on the machine she started with and she won $57.00 on it.

The only thing I won was at the gas station where I scored diesel for $3.88 a gallon! Not bad for a poor gambling guy like myself. We topped off and then it was back to Big D. We called Rodney and Becky on the way back to set up our dinner date which we did. We decided to meet them at our place and leave from there. They arrived about 6:30 and we loaded up in their van and headed to Macaroni Grill. We had a good time....even though Sherri and Becky made fun of Rodney and I for having spaghetti on our chins. It was good vitals...we had dogie bags to take home and that will make for a good lunch tomorrow.

We got home about 15 till 9:00 and said our good byes...Sherri and I had to jump in the truck and head to Kroger's to return our movie we had rented last night. I am Legend...now there is another story. Some kind of movie that was.

Well Sherri is on chat with all our Dreamer friends so I will leave you here Somewhere in Time
