February 17 and 18, 2009

Tuesday 17~~~~~The weather today is sunny and warm, we went to the post office to pick up our mail and a package from Thresa, Bodie and Blaize. They sent us a box of Valentine cookies that they had baked and decorated for us and some kisses from Oregon! (candy) Tress makes the best frosted sugar cookies ever. We always made them together before we became full time travelers. She made three batches of these cookies, so that was a lot of work for our surprise and all the other recipients who received them. Thank you again Tress!!! We also went to "Safeway" where they had a great meat sale, we filled our small freezer and then some. This afternoon we went to the "Clint Eastwood's" movie "GRAND TORINO" at the casino theatre, it was a little slow starting, but very entertaining if you don't mind some of the language they had to use to make it realistic, because it was about two rival gangs fighting and such. We found ourselves laughing out loud with the rest of the audience in the theatre. Tonight was chili-dogs for dinner, one of Kent's favorite bachelor meals he used to make a lot, now it is a favorite of both of ours. We finished off the day watching television before bed time.
Wednesday 18~~~Another warm day in sunny Nevada, we walked to the Edgewater Casino for a buffet breakfast that was $3.00 apiece. After breakfast we went into the casino and played the slots, see Sharon concentrating on a win.(picture) Kent turned in is Keno ticket from yesterday and he was a $97 winner, maybe he should teach Sharon how to play, as it pays more than her slots seem to. LOL We did the river walk (picture) which was very nice in the sunshine finishing up with our walk home again to get our exercise, we don't use the shuttles here. We were mixed up on what day it was, we thought today was Ash Wednesday, so we hurried home to go to the church near here. We found out it is next week!!! Sharon read Sundays bulletin wrong, oh well, we got a better work out that way.
