5/23 Quick Celebration
Posted: Thu May 26, 2022 8:47 pm
Monday, I got a clean bill of health from the cardiologist. Parted with, "I hope to see a lot less of you next year!" Covid 15 still hanging on....
So on our way to our favorite Mexican restaurant, we get a phone call asking us to babysit grandkids for the Memorial Day weekend. We look at each other and immediately abort the fajitas and I call Golden Nugget for a suite for the night. We are both packed and ready within our usual 30 minutes. Limited bankrolls due to upcoming trip to Missouri to see family member who is turning 97. Last surviving member of the family up there. Get to GN and head down with $300 bank roll for the night. Our last 3-4 trips have been disasters. Especially disappointing that we've not hit any royals. Start of play and I can't seem to be dealt two cards of the same color much less suit. Play through our bankroll and go to our free play and cash our almost $500 on a hot quarter slot machine which we split. Refinanced, I move to 100 play on 10¢ denomination. Catch a couple nice hands and them dealt 4 RF. Caught one on the last hand. Now I'm got some bankroll.
We finally get our dinner notice and go get a nice dinner. The fun really begins about an hour after dinner.
First, quad deuces on 50¢
Then this Royal.
Then this Royal:
Then Aces/Kicker:
Ended up being a nice night after all. With the severe weather coming in we stayed over Tuesday to "Shelter in Place" and headed home Wednesday.
Oh, by the way the fajitas were great on our way home Wednesday.
So, 2 for Friday and Saturday night and now 4 on Sunday night for the sleepovers. Plus somehow a trip to the cemetery to honor my mom who died over Memorial Day weekend several years ago.
Happy and Safe Memorial Day weekend everyone.
And, say an extra prayer for our Uvalde, Texas parents and families who will never forget this week's tragedy. And, for the now 311,000 student who have to had experience gun violence while at school since Columbine.
