Monday the 11th~~~~~ We had our morning coffee outdoors as it is another beautiful day. While Kent did some computer work, Sharon went for her walk trying to do it everyday. It is something you feel so good doing after you get started, but getting out the door isn't always easy. Bodie called Sharon while she was walking and he was crying so hard she could hardly understand what he was saying. All she could hear him say was "it just exploded" and he would cry more. She finally figured out that he was talking about his piggy bank that we gave him 3 years ago. He sat it down on the table too close to the edge and it fell off and it just "exploded" when it hit the floor. We did some talking and decided we would get him another one when we got home. We got that one at the $ store and I doubt if we will find another one like it, but we will try. Oh these crisis we have to deal with when we are so far away from the situation are sure hard sometimes!!! This evening we drove to the Casino at Valley View, CA to meet our friend Gary and Ben for dinner. Gary had 4 free dinner tickets for a prime rib dinner. The dinner was great with prime rib, baked potato, steamed veggies and salad. We played the slots and visited awhile before we headed back home.
