Our Trip to the Casino

The other day, my friend Pat.... her husband Russell, and myself,
went to Lawrenceburg, Indianna, to gamble at Hollywood Casino.

We played the slots, at which I lost. Pat and Russell won several hundred dollars between them,though, so it wasn't all bad. I played on one slot machine for a bit, then gave it up and moved to another one. As soon as I got up, though, Pat sat down and hit two spins for $250.00 each.

Those of you that know me pretty well know that what I really like to do, is play poker. Occasionally, I win a bit at it. :-)

All in all, we had an enjoyable day at the casino.

On the way home, we stopped at Papadeaux's Seafood Kitchen in Cincinatti, and had a good meal. Pat and Russell treated me. :-) I had Mahi-Mahi with a white wine sauce with crawfish, shrimp, and scallops in it, and dirty rice. Pretty good! An excellent way to top off the day. I'm looking forward to going again.

The First Annual, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, or Monthly, (Dependent Upon Participant's Interest) Geriatric Poker Game

Today, as you can see below, several of us gathered together our oxygen tanks, inhalers, and nebulizers and met at Pat and Russell's for a poker game.


Next, here are Russell, yours truly, Ellie, and Jackie intent on our cards as Ellie deals. You have to kinda keep your eye on Ellie, as she's somewhat of a hustler, or least she used to be, back in the good old days. (grin)




Scott, as you can see below, is quite interested in what Jackie is doing with her cards. Of course, Scott is quite interested in Jackie regardless of what she's doing.



Looks like Scott is biting his nails, doesn't it? He was the big winner, though. He must have won 5 or 6 dollars. Real high-rollers, aren't we?



I'm trying to convince everyone that I have no idea where that ace came from. They weren't going for it, though.



We had an enjoyable time. We enjoyed each other's fellowship, and had good sandwiches and drinks. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon when the temperature is in the teens.
