Time at the casino

It was still dark outside when my eyes fluttered open this morning, I could hear the rain tapping away on the roof and I knew that it was going to be an inside day. I would miss the porch and the breeze and the chance to kick back in my recliner and read my book.
One thing we have come to love is being somewhere where you can sit out doors and enjoy the fresh air. Being inside is not what this life style is all about. Having the ability to travel where and when you want to is part of it but once you arrive you want to have weather you can be outdoors in and not burn up or freeze to death. That is what we have been so fortunate in having since we left the lake over a month ago.
Over a month ago! Has it been that long? My gosh it does not seem that long ago. Time never moved this fast when I was slaving at a job waiting for the day I could retire and do what I am doing now! Yes it has been over a month and we have had a blast. Not having to be somewhere...have a schedule...or meet a deadline has been the greatest relief anyone could possibly experience. If we all started life out this way and went to our last day without all the stress...How long would a human being live?
Well yesterday we did have somewhat of a deadline. We both wanted to go to the casino and drop off some of our money...in exchange for some fun. Kris too wanted to go to Kids Quest and have some fun too so we set a time to head in that direction. School work had to be completed and Sherri and I had to get our chores done around the MH. Sherri did most of the chores while I conducted class. Kris whizzed through his English and Math classes in record time. Geography class was shortened somewhat. Art class was skipped but reading our science lesson and our reader was done.
We all ate a bite and got dressed. We were out front waiting on the shuttle at 1:00 sharp. Soon it showed up and we were on our way to fun and excitement.
Kris would be the only happy person in our group on the way back to the RV park. Sherri and I both did not do well in the casino but we did not go over our set limit. Yes we have a set limit we play to and if it last all day we play all day. On this day it lasted only 3 and a half hours. Poor Kris, his time at Kids Quest was cut short due to our bad luck...but then he will get to go again before we leave here.
It was a nice afternoon and we sit out and watched some new folks pull in and some old ones pull out. Some of the new folks come in and circle the park several times before they settle in a spot. I think of it as a dog circling before he finds the right direction to lay down. So far all the parks we have stayed in we have been to before so we know where we want to set up. I guess when we get to a new park we might do the same thing.
The sun started settling in the west...the wind started to pick up and I knew the rain was coming...
So this morning it is here and there will be no patio sitting just sitting indoors watching the rain and listening to the wind outside. I guess you have to have some blah days along with the good ones so you will know how good the good ones are.
Maybe I will plan our next adventure while I am confined to the indoors here...
