Monday Again!

Last Thursday was a busy day with my eye appointment and then Vel's Physical Therapy.  Then in the evening we went to Barb and Jeff's for a BBQ get together with friends.  Very enjoyable evening!
     Friday we were trying to decide if we should head up to my folks house with the rig, because it was kind of windy out. I checked the weather and it showed that the wind advisory was in north central Nebraska and did not include the counties that we were traveling in. So, mid afternoon we took off.  We went over to the nearest State Park to dump the rig and then headed out.  It was a NW wind and we were heading north, we could feel it, but it wasn't terrible.  I just went slow, thankfully the majority of the route is 4 lane, and we made it just fine.  I did o.k. backing it into the driveway with Vel and the dogs in the pick-up with me. Usually the dogs are in the CRV and Vel is helping guide me in, but because of her knee surgery, I didn't have her get out until I needed a look out for the bricks by the flag pole or the roof of the house.  I think the key is to take it easy and take it slow and don't get too rilled!
       Saturday we headed up to Sioux City area, again.  We ate at Wendy's, I had the Grilled Chicken breast sandwich, very dry and I had a hard time finding it between the bun.  My folk's had the New fish sandwich, I don't think they were too impressed, not alot of taste.  Oh, well, we'll just have to remember that for next time.
       Yesterday for Mother's Day we went over to Winnivegas Casino, as they had a nice brunch for the day.  They were quite busy and after about a 30 min. wait we were seated.  Everything was pretty tasty and for dessert, Mom and I had their Key Lime pie. Mom gave it an "8" and I gave it a "7.5"   We started rating our key lime pies ever since we went down to Destin, Florida for vacation a few years back.  After supper we would all split 1 or 2 slices and rate them.  Just kind of a fun thing to do-It continued when we went to the Florida Keys with our friends, also.  So, it just doesn't seem right to have a slice of Key Lime and then not rate it!    
      After we ate, Mom and Vel put a few quarters in.  Dad and I went and put gas in the van, 2.56/gal at the casino, then we drove around town a few minutes for something to do.  The dogs were happy to see us. when we all got home.  I decided to replace the cover on one of the dogs beds.  So, I used Mom's sewing machine and did that. 
So, I guess that's all for now-M
