Good morning.
I've just returned from my morning walk. A beautiful 69 out this morning.
Here's another pic of my fingerling cactus blooming.....
And here's a few pics from my walk......
The roses really bloom well here! And after they rest during the hot summer, they re bloom in the fall.
Yesterday, we ate out twice. Very unusual for us. But we were over near Big Dog's Tavern and a smoked sausage sandwich really sounded good. So we stopped there for lunch. Then, we had $20 in food vouchers for the Salted Lime Restaurant at our Casino that were going to expire at the end of the month, so we went there for happy hour.
The Aliante Casino next to our community was bought last year by Boyd Gaming. One of 2 big local casino operators. And recently, they've been running a lot of offers and specials trying to get the locals back in there more. The month of April, every Fri and Sat. they have a free kiosk game. You swipe your card and get either a mystery present, free slot play, vouchers toward their restaurants, or points. We go again today and tomorrow for the last time this month. But so far this month, we've gotten free slot play that we turned into about $10 profit, 2 mystery gifts that ended up being scrunchy watering hoses, $25 dollars in food vouchers, and points added to our cards that are worth about $10. And the only money we've spent was a little extra at the restaurant. So a pretty good deal I'd say. :-)
And we must have a Road Runner nesting somewhere nearby, as it's gone through our yard 3 times that we know of and twice while we were sitting out there. And we don't have a big back yard! And we've seen him over at 2 different neighbors front yards as we came back from our walk.
So pretty cool!
And that's all for now...
