February 23 & 24 2016 Laughlin, Nevada

     Tuesday Feb. 23   When you check into the RV Park, they give you 2 free tickets for a free breakfast buffet and 2 tickets for a dinner buffet. This morning we used our two breakfast tickets and ate way too much food. After breakfast, we went to the movie theatre. There are a couple of movies that we think are real good. Yesterday while on our walk, a lady gave us a coupon for buy one dinner, get one free. I think we will use that after we get through the movie. The movie we went to today was, "RACE"  It is the true story of Jessie Owens back in 1936 who was an African American who came from a very low income  family. He was an excellent athlete in field sports and could run faster than anything or anyone. Remember back then the black people were not accepted and treated very cruel. In fact they weren't allowed in the Olympics, Hitler didn't want any one of color or Jews to be allowed there. It is a beautiful story about the hard work and determination these people had  to accomplish with little support. I would highly recommend this movie to everyone.
     Wednesday Feb 24:  We are going to our second movie this morning at 10:00 so we have to get moving pretty fast today. We are going to see, "Revenant", the commercials look pretty good. It was a real bloody, violent movie and it went slow. There is a lot of good acting in it but the storyline was slow. I wouldn't recommend it. Just not my kind of movie.  The movie "Grand parents" is not doing to good. In Mesquite our friend there said that about one half the senior citizens got up and left the theatre shortly after it started. That same movie here in Laughlin,  they have a full sheet of  paper listing the warnings of the movie. Very sexually graphic, people in Laughlin have walked out too and complained. Tonight we used our free dinner tickets and came home to watch TV  We are heading to Lake Havasu in the morning.
