Well we survived the Urquhart Family Xmas Dinner party. Our grandson was a huge success and we did have a very good time. He was so good and laughed at everyone, they loved him and fussed over him like crazy. Imagine next year we will have two babies running around.
Our New Years Eve was spent as usual. We went to a movie first. Saw No Country For Old Men. I did enjoy the movie, it was so weird tho and really rather depressing. I guess the message of the movie was that the world is getting so full of evil that it is no longer a place for people who believe in decency and goodness. And that when you retire, all that is left for you to do is sit and wait for death!! what a bummer. We went to Swiss Chalet intending to have dinner after the movie but it was closed so we went to Kelsys. We shared a meal and it was okay, nothing special. Then we went to the Raceway Slots, got lais and hats and noise makers. Rang in the New Year with Darlene and Tony. Went there first because they were giving away TV's every hour from 8:30 - 12:30. We didn't win so went downtown. Won enough money to play all night. Decided to leave at 9:00 am but Brian won a few hundred just as we were leaving so the only way I could get him out of there was to agree to come back for my birthday. Then went for breakfast at Golden Griddle and home to bed by 10:30 am. Jan 1st was a lost day for me, I was too tired to even get out of my pj's.
January 3rd was my 62nd birthday and we went to the casino Market Buffet, the casino gave me 2 free buffets for my BD, so Drew and Kate and Eric came with us and we comp'ed their meals. Had a great meal and great desserts. Then played for a few hours on the slots. Kate won $100 on the Hot Shots but put it all back. Drew won almost $300 and took it home with him. Eric wasn't as lucky. I won $165.00 on my Egyptian machine and Brian kept winning so to get him out of there I had to promise that we could come back one more time. Babysat in Michigan on Friday, January 4th. Our grandson is so precious. Went for the last time to the casino to give them back all our winnings. Came home Friday night to find out that our favourite Uncle was in the hospital and was not expected to survive the night. He had said his goodbyes to his children. And yesterday morning we got the word that he had passed away. We are very saddened by this news and are now just waiting for the next phone call to find out the funeral arrangements.
Depressed, so signing off.
