Today Was A Good Day!

We did our usual trip to the casino. We ended up staying for about 5 hours. At first we were loosing and about ready to come home, when Patrick hit it pretty good! He hit a $750 spin. After that it was up hill. We won a few more big hits and then finally called it good at bring home $700.

We decided to go to Pete's Pizza in Centralia. It was really good pizza. We then went to the store to pick up a few things we needed.

Then we came home. It was nice to get back. lol I got a little caught up on my games and then I went back to my cross stitch.

Patrick fixed the shower head. I was so ticked this morning with the shower head that Patrick figured he better change it NOW. Put me in a bad mood! lol

We also got a faucet for the bathroom. The other one was leaking and didn't really work very well. So, we got one to replace it. Not sure when he will do that, but betting it will be tomorrow. I know him to well to say it will wait till later this week. I'm thinking that's going to be one of the first things he does tomorrow. IF he doesn't do it today!

I know this blog is just for good things - not bad. But today I have to say somethings. The protests have gotten out of hand. I'm sorry but the Civil War has been over for 130 years. They fought for what they believed in - right or wrong! They were good warriors that fought for this country. Just like the Vietnam War vets fought for this country. Now the protesters are destroying - yes DESTROYING history. History needs to stand. We can't act as if it didn't happen. It happened. Even though my family fought for the North, if my ancestors fought for the South, I'd feel the same way! They gave their lives for what they believed in. What right do we - 130 years later - to thumb our noises at them and destroy the monuments that were put up?!? Those were put up because of the type people they were! Robert E Lee was a soldier - yes, he fought on the "wrong" side, but he was one of the best soldiers and officer that we ever had. Now we are saying he was a "racist" when he was a soldier.

Okay, I'm done. Life is good, we need to enjoy what life we have. We all love life - Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
