“ Friday “ 13 February ‘09
A little cloudy with the sun poking out now and then and a forecast of rain…a perfect day to do the laundry. We just filled a couple of machines and will patiently await the finished product. Today will also give me the needed time to continue working on our web-pages. I’ve been working on adding pictures and correcting some of the postings to Egypt, Austria, and now Hungary. I’ve found it to be harder to do than I originally thought to complete this project and I just hope it’s worth the time… I’ll try and keep you updated as I go.
Unfortunately with the weather threatening heavy rain and thunder tonight, the Mardi Gras parade marshals are letting us know that they just might have to cancel tonight’s events in New Orleans. They are telling us (those that weren’t around ) that it very well could be like last year’s schedule, off, on, and off again to finally be rescheduled.
Noon quickly arrived and Louise went to the pantry to find the pick-ins for lunch. As she put the can of tuna on the counter to make us a couple of tuna sandwiches, she said “I guess we could go over to the Hard Rock Casino.

They’re having their $4.99 buffet…” Yep, you guessed it, we went for the buffet. We’re really not into buffets but with it dark and raining, and Louise really liking the fun at the casinos, it just made sense to make her happy. Of course we received our gaming card which gave us the $4.99 price for the buffet. Fortunately for me, my buffet was free because of my birthday this month. I’ll take “Free” anytime… Following lunch, Louise took $20 and headed over to the penny machines. By the time I found her she had already won about $10 on top of her investment. I put in $20 twice and lost it quickly…I love gambling. A couple of hours later we were heading out to the car and as we passed a couple of machines at the entrance, Louise asked if I might have a couple of one dollar bills. It didn’t take but a couple of minutes and she was already up to $26 on a penny machine so I pulled up next to her and put in $3 more dollars. For some reason I got lucky and had my $3 up to $130 in about 15 minutes. We didn’t pull out right away, but we did after I dropped down to $80. OK, I’ll take the $40 profit and let’s head home…
