Christmas Is Almost Here
Can you believe there is about 15 days before Christmas?? With all the cyber shopping and extended days to shop some more it seems like Thanksgiving was just last week? Maybe because I'm still eating turkey salad and ham sandwiches from what's left of a small fried turkey for thanksgiving!! I spoke of the weather being exceptional warm for December, well, that all changed by the time we made it back home to central Texas last evening!
It's cold and windy today with temps around 36 degrees with more to come and colder in the morning around 19-22 degrees! For this part of the state that's cold! I will not complain because winter is coming to most of the states, it's just a bit late I think for the fall of the year!!
We had a great time at the casino on the machines! I did pretty good playing the same quarter machine I play every time I go there! That row of 5 machines seem to give out more than they take in but I'm sure the casino makes up in other machines and areas of the casino! I felt almost good enough to go try a high limit machine but my scooter just wouldn't bulge away!
My wife just enjoys playing the penny machines that makes all the noise and changing pictures with free games you win for getting very high numbers! It all counts towards comps for rooms and food on our next visit!! She did cash out for 200.00 late Friday night but probably put much of it back in other machines!! Being over 50 we eat in the big buffet for half price that equals 8.00 each and they have every thing you could ever eat!!
So now we will just stay home and get ready for Christmas Day and opening presents she got already under the tree she and her grand daughter put up last week! I don't think the puppy helped they kept running her back upstairs!! She wanted to play with the little color balls hanging around the bottom of the tree!!!
Here is wishing all of you a joyous holiday or Christmas if you will with your family and friends!! The New Year is just around the curve or over the Cliff and only God knows what we are looking forward to in terms of our taxes and finances! Some government checks are suppose to see a 1.7% increase, a first in a couple years!!!!!!
