Finally found a minute, at 7 am

I have been trying to find a minute to update here again. It is getting more and more difficult to find the time when I am not too tired or doing something else, so I got up when John did this morning and got started. I finished  the quilt I started and now I am updating this one.

Let me start with Reno. We went to get away and also to cover Valentines Day and my birthday. I dont care why we get away, I just want to get away, anywhere. So John booked the last Grand Suite in the building I think. There was nothing left to book, oh darn. The trip up there was really uneventful. We did stop off at Boom town on the way up. For those of you that dont know what that is, its a little center that is a stopping point after you get into Nevada that ou can bring your family and also drop a few coins if you choose to. John did ok, and I doubled my money. I walked out with fourty in my pocket.

That was just a short stop and potty break, then off we went to our final destination. i took pictures on the way up there after we hit the snow line, and that was prewtty much the only ones I took. It was strange, there would be snow really deep on one side of the freeway, and none at all on the other. After i looked at all of them, there really wasnt much to look at. We finally go to out hotel, and it was really nice, much better than I expected. After we got settled in, we went down to the casino and did some more gambling and looking around. I found a penny machine that  was empty, so i sat down and put in my money. this machine started paying off, so i kept playing. Before the weekend was over, I won twice  on it and won 300 then 427.00 on it. We went swimming in really warm pools and a hot tub and ate some really really good food.

This weekend so far has been pretty booked. Friday I got off work and came straight home to make a carrot cake for a bake sale at the post friday night. there was a fish fry out there, and the bake sale was to make some extra cash. John called while I was in process of baking, and asked me if I would do the weekeley shopping, since he had to work OT and do an oill change on my car trhe next day. OK, I will grab a nap after that. I finally got to lay down at 2:30 until John woke me up at 5 to take off for the post. Then saturday I got up and cleaned my house, then worked on the quilt, I really wanted to get that one finished. We had a crab feed to go to at five. I worked on the qult till about 415 the worked on my face so we could leave.

that takes me to now. I woke up at 5 when john did and made coffee then went to finish the quilt and write this over do blog. I still need to write about the wonderful crabcakes I got in the mail. That will have to be all by itself though. OH yum.
