One flows into another

When one day flows into another and they tend to be much the same it is easy for me to relax a bit on my blogging. Our thoughts are beginning to turn southward, however, we have some doctor appointments to get through first. The last one  is on October 23rd so we know we will be here at least that long.  We are both beginning to experience "hitch itch".

 Our friends Pete and Jerilynn are too. They stopped by to visit last evening about their trip to Florida and the preparations for such. And then they decided to go to the Casino for supper. We were asked if we wanted to go and accepted the invite. We had been avoiding the place because we had not heard good reviews and we wanted to give them time to get their act together if it was ever going to happen. Well, it has! The food was excellent and the service was good and they were very busy! We were told at the entrance that there would be a 20-minute wait so I turned to Butch and said, "Is that too long? "Want to go somewhere else?" And the hostess said, "Just a minute. Let me check." And sure enough an open table for four appeared magically. Our order was taken promptly and the wait was not too long. Jerilynn ordered almond crusted chicken tenders for an appetizer and they were excellent. An order of those as an entree and a side salad would have been plenty for two people. We ordered a tenderloin and shared it and it was more than enough for both of us.
After dinner we did go in the gambling portion and found a penny machine where you could play as small an amount(1 penny 1 line) as you might want and that is the perfect place for me. Butch handed me three dollars and it magically became $10.00 after quite a bit of playing. I sat there quite satisfied with playing ten pennies on ten lines a whack and cashed out when I reached $10.00 giving me a profit of $7.00. So it was a magical evening all round.

Butch and I have been watching "Hell on Wheels" on Netflix. It is a series of 43 episodes with each episode taking 42 minutes. No Commercials! Aaah the beauty of Netflix. When evening comes around one of us will turn to the other and say, "Are you ready to go to Hell tonight?" A little one of our inside jokes. We have one more episode to go. I must put out a warning that it is bloody and violent in many places and I would have to watch through my fingers but it is a very well-done production.

Hell on Wheels
The Civil War is in the past, but former
Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon can't put it behind him.
Fresh are the horrific memories of the death of his wife, killed
at the hands of the Union soldiers, an act that sets Bohannon on a course of revenge. This contemporary Western tells the story of his journey, a story that rides on Union Pacific's construction of the first transcontinental railroad. Bohannon'swestward travels take him to a lawless melting pot of a town called "Hell on Wheels," which moves with the construction of the railroad.
