Today we split up - Mum went to the Lunch Bunch and Dad came with me to the new Casino in Pittsburgh. We had about an hour to drive and it went pretty well, considering. When we got to the Casino, he did not like any of the 10,000 (or so) slot machines. He wanted one with the arm that you use to play and the basic 1 line bar game. We walked all around but my Dad's eyes aren't as good as they used to be - so I had to make sure he didn't walk into a slot machine (like he did when I "pushed' him into the pool a couple years ago). By the way, I didn't "push" him but I've given up defending myself.
We did find a few slot machines where I sat him down and helped him feed them money - then I sat at a machine nearby. This went on for about 2 1/2 hours and luckily we were both ready to go home.
When we got home - no Mum. We waited until an hour passed when she usually gets home and finally Dad was itching to go look for her. We went to McD's and there they were, the lunch bunch was turning into the dinner bunch - 4 1/2 hours at the same table!
Tonight we went to dinner and had another Pittsburgh specialty - french fries and gravy. I'm now groaning (inside - remember I like quiet) and finishing tonight's blog.
Humor? I'm not sure where it went? I think it is hiding out with my relaxed muscles , conditioned hair and calm demeanor. This is one of the only times I would beg for a massage!
We will be packing up for the trip home tomorrow morning.
