Casino And Other Stuff

 Today, we were up earlier than usual to get moving. We headed to New Balance shoes at the outlet stores. I needed to get new shoes to see if that was part of my problem with not healing on my ankle. I ended up buying 2 pairs of shoes because there was a sale on the shoes, plus buy one get one. I ended up with 2 pairs of shoes for $116. which is about what I paid for my Skeeters a couple years ago. I know, we are not supposed to wear the same shoes for 2 or 3 years, but I'm not the only one that does. So, I was told by Bob I needed to get new shoes and wear my slippers at home. That might help with healing. So, I'm trying to behave! I did get the new shoes and really like them. They are more comfortable than the old shoes - wonder why! 😂 

Then we met up with Martha, who took 2 more kits for QOV. Once that was done, we headed to the casino. We actually played on their money a while. Patrick even won the Major jackpot of $800. So, he played on his money for a bit. It was fun. We got ice cream on the way out. 

Came home and I had some stuff I needed to get done. I worked on my QOV stuff. I also put the labels on the 2 quilts that are going to the museum for their Gala. 

Patrick doesn't care for it, but it's just a quilt to give to the Gala for their auction. I like it a little, but it's up to the person that wants it. Labels are on them, and I will deliver them on Friday. 

Then I needed to get paperwork done. I also did some bookkeeping work. That all put me into 6 pm. So, I worked on my exercises and then tried to enjoy watching TV with Patrick. Trouble was Sophie was in my chair, so I sat at the couch. 

Tried to bead, but the couch area was too dark. I did get about 4 or 5 rows in. I will work on it tomorrow. I'm taking it with us to Indiana when we go next week. Things to do, things to do!

When I quit, Patrick joined me on the couch, and we watched TV together. We hadn't done that in a while, so that was nice. At least I TRIED to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
