Good morning!

Sunday morning my friend Paula, who is visiting from Arkansas, is out in my kitchen making coffee, now that is the kind of guest every one needs to have. We went out to celebrate last night and came home in the pitch black of night as I struggled to find the key hole in the dark. I forgot to put on the porch light . . . well I don't usually get to go out after dark! Prime rib and all the trimmings tasted very good at the Lucky Seven and as both of us love to play the penny machines, all in favor of the House . . . and we know that, as we tried for the illusive jackpot but all we had was fun. There were three new machines that were fun to play although the payout was far from what we expected. It wouldn't hurt for the casinos to pay out a little bit more so you can last longer.

Today we are having an 'in' day and will play scrabble and gab. If the sun comes out we will ride over to Sporthaven and walk the beach for exercise. I'm looking forward to several beach walks this week and hope we get up to Gold Beach when there is a minus tide and see if there any agates to be found.

I am wondering how daughter Patricia is doing on that Ferry boat and hope the waters are calm and the people friendly. It will be good when she has her lap top up and running and we can follow her adventures. I hope her ears are burning so she knows I am thinking about her.

So today have a 'down' day, read the Sunday paper, watch Bob Cheever and catch up on the latest political news, and check and see what movie is on. Put your feet up and power nap now and then and every once in awhile open the fridge and see what is in it that will please your fancy taste buds. That reminds me, I better go and unfreeze something for our dinner today. I'm off to have my first cup of coffee and open the other eye. Make today a lazy day and enjoy yourself. Hugs to all.
