We were up early because I had to go to Olympia to get an X-ray of my chest. We also had to stop and get Patrick's blood drawn. So, we were out the door by 8:45 am to get gas and head up to Olympia.
We then went to the casino and were there by 11:45 am. We played our favorite games. It was interesting because we won 2 MAJOR bonus - over $900. Then we also won big prizes in the bonus rounds. We came home with a lot more than we went with. At first, we thought we would have to going to have to cash out some money to play awhile. Since we had planned to eat at the pizza place in the casino. As it ended up, we didn't have to after all and we started winning. The winning didn't stop. We finally called it done because we both were tired of playing around 4:30 pm. Had pizza, brought home the gift (weed whacker x2).
Came home and I just wasn't in the mood to do any more beading. I will have to go downstairs tomorrow and get the quilts ready for Monday. I also need to finish the one on the wall.
Once this is done, I can put the other one together that was started. I need to work on the other panel. I hope I didn't give it to mom.
On the way home, she called all confused on what to do with the blocks that Val gave her. I don't think she's reading the instructions. But then again, at 91 years old, she's "losing it" because she's not as sharp as she was before. She could do what those instructions tell her to do, in her sleep, when she was younger. Now, she has a hard time figuring out how many blocks are needed to finish a quilt. I will have to spend time with her on Monday to get it all straightened out. Val was doing that on Wednesday when they took the blocks. She explained everything, and both mom and Georgie said, "I can do that." Then I get the call that, NOPE, she can't do that. We told her I don't know how many time what to do, but she was confused. So, now I have to spend time with her on Monday to show her what she "got" on Wednesday.
It was a good day for us. But not a day to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
