Well it is Monday. The weekend was very nice,
but it sure flew by too quickly. We had a wonderful time at the Casino
yesterday! I actually was the one that came out ahead!!! I usually
"break even" just about or do, but this time I came home about 100.00
over!!! So I was thrilled. LOL, I did not even make too much of a scene
screaming hollering either! Usually when I win a fairly big win on a
pull, I go bonkers! You would think I won a million bucks! My machine
was make enough noise due to me winning
that I did attract several people to watch! LOL, I won a little over a
100.00. I went and cashed that in, put it up, then went back, put a 5.00
bill in the same machine, and won another 50.00! So, actually I won
about 120.00 all together if you take off me paying for breakfast, etc.
Mom had a great time also. But, she was kind of "off" yesterday. It
worried me a little. I have been noticing her having some issues with
memory, being forgetful, and just some things that concern me. My
Grandfather, her Dad, had full blown Alzheimer's. He got really bad the
last few years. Then her Mom, also had Dementia, but it was well up into
her 80's. Mom is going to be 79 in August. So, of course some
"forgetfulness" is expected. Hell! I am terrible lately about lists, and
needing lists for lists, and still forgetting stuff and I am younger!
:) But, there are some things that just truly give me more of an
impression her problems being a little more than just getting a little
older and forgetting. She did not take her Casino PLayers card, and she
always gets it. She forgot her watch, which she usually takes it. She
got to the Casino, and we did not get in good, until she told me, she
felt "turned around" and just lost. Well, it is HUGE!!!! But, she has
been there enough to kind of know her way around usually. We try to stay
somewhat close to each other, but often we wander off, and always have a
time to meet at an exact place, so we can check on each other, and see
what we want to do from there. So, we were supposed to meet at 4 in the
afternoon at our entrance. Well, Jim and I went a little early. I had
won and I did not want to spend any of that, LOL, so we decided to just
go and get close to the door and wait for her. So, we were about 15
minutes early, but she usually shows up a little early also. But, 4 pm
came, and she did not show up. So, we thought she may have lost track of
time, or had not asked someone for the time yet. Or maybe she had
trouble with a machine and was waiting on someone to come, or she
usually goes to the Cashier window rather than using the machines like
we do to cash our tickets in. So, we figured it was one or all of those
making her run a little late. But 4:15 came and she still did not show.
4:30 came and went, and I told Jim maybe she thought we said 5 rather
than 4. Well, about 4:50 she comes walking up. She again said she did a
little lose track of time, but again she said she was totally turned
around and almost lost as to how to get back to where we usually meet.
Well, that really concerned me. Again she said when we got to the car,
that she just had an "off" day from even when she first got up. So,
again I am going to have to observe somewhat even closer that I have
been. I really worry about wither Alzheimer's or Dementia, because of
her "symptoms" and the fact it certainly runs in her close family.
Anyway, we got home and the dogs did pretty good! Our house was still in
one piece, LOL! But, we were totally worn out. Between getting up at 3
am, the drive there, all that walking (OMG I bet you walk 15 miles in a
day by the time you go from one end to the other a few times), and then I
drove home. So, we were tired but again it was a good Mother's Day! I
hope all of you equally enjoyed yours! Of course my book is on
Amazon.com now. It in the the paperback and the Kindle sections. You can
look inside the book already on both! Here is the link to the
paperback:

They have my "name" kind of messed up so both books at the moment don't
come up together under my author name. I have an email into them to get
that fixed. But they are both there. My 1st ones should arrive around
Thursday!!!!! I am so totally thrilled! I am also ready to begin my 3rd
book! When I get it started, I will let all of you know what I feel the
title will be.
Hugs, Rhia
