Away to Fallsview

I've been good and not gambled all month but today's the day. I love to gamble but I'm smart enough to know I can't afford to do it more often than once a month while I'm home and going to the large casinos. In Florida, they have the small internet casinos and I can afford to go there more often.

Mary, Faye and I are going on an overnight jaunt to Fallsview because Mary got a free room. We do this occasionally in the summer and it's like a mini vacation. Mary gets the odd free room but she sometimes prefers to go with her husband rather than with Faye and me. Go figure!

I got an important job done yesterday...the front garden weeded and planted...so I feel justified in spending today at the slot machines. Both Faye and I received meal vouchers for today and tomorrow so we'll eat well and be able to treat Mary as well. We usually take advantage of the free stage shows that Fallsview offers but we're not doing that this time.

I'm still thinking about Kim and her sweet Baker. I know Kim's heart will be heavy for quite a while because she loved that little dog so very much. Time will ease the pain, though, and she'll always have happy memories of Baker.

Life is full of both happy and sad days, exciting and boring days, and we just have to survive it all. Make good memories as often as you can because you never know when memories will be all you have.
