Friday, May 1. I went to Lansing for a long weekend to visit my Mom and Sister. My 91 yr old mother, said I don't want you just sitting here with me. Go
to the Casino road trip. Yipppeeee! that's all I needed to hear. Saturday May 2, my sis, cousin and myself headed up to Soaring Eagle. We had a great
time. Just the girls! No husbands and no schedule.
Gary (my husband) had bought Bob Dancer's video poker software. We play at home and tone up the dos and dont's of video poker. To my benefit I was playing deuce's wild poker at the bar in the rear right side of the casino by the restrooms. The derby was on and I had a cold beer in front of me. Live is good! I hit 4 deuce's and an ace for $200. Next hand I kept three cards for a natural royal and drew the other two for $1,000. Then I got brave and started playing $5. I finally cashed out $1,465. No W2G's. My trip was paid for. We met at the bar up front on the left. There were young people 5 deep all over the bar area. The bartender said they were here for a concert. I thought she said Sting was playing. Now I've heard of Sting and thought wow they are here at Soaring Eagle. Big Event! But nooooooooo it was a group called Staind. Who the heck is Staind. I am getting old. The casino was busy but then again it was a Saturday. Had a prime rib sandwich from the cart. Excellent sandwich and we headed home.
Monday, May 4 My sister and me head back to Soaring Eagle. I took $300 from my Sat. winnings to play with. It was a beautiful spring day. We started at the small original casino. I hit immediately hit $97 playing Dublin pennies. I thought here we go again a winning trip. That was about the extent of winning streak. No wins at video poker, or other assorted slots. We headed over to the larger casino. I was amazed at how busy the casino was on a Monday The place was packed. Who are these people? Couples on retirement? Laid off workers? Heard a couple of men talking about Chrysler filing bankrupcy etc. I truly was amazed with this economy how many people were playing. But, heck whatever works. Neither one of us took home extra money but we sure had a good time together. It's not often just the two of us get to spend time together alone. Enjoyed a great dinner with my mom and sis on Monday night and laughed reminiscing on days past. Left for Raleigh on Tuesday with $1,000. in my pocket. That's a good gambling pot for Gary and my anniversary trip to Reno end of the month.
