Where is everybody?

TCB · « **Reply #92 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:21:57 PM »

This is a Thursday.

I went down to Yelm (near George) today to meet my friend, Diane, for lunch.

TCB · « **Reply #94 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:25:17 PM »

We didn't plan our arrival time to match up with the buffet.

So, against my better judgement, we decided to play the slots for a while.

My friend has the magic touch when it comes to slot machines.

As for me, I learned long ago, that I have no luck when it comes to electronic gaming devices.

TCB · « **Reply #98 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:33:28 PM »

So, knowing my lack of luck, I am careful how much I wager.

TCB · « **Reply #99 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:35:26 PM »

So, knowing my limits, we started to play.

By the time we went to lunch, my friend, Diane, had won about six hundred dollars.

TCB · « **Reply #101 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:37:28 PM »

Surprisingly, I was ahead by $150.00.

The lunch buffet was only so-so.

TCB · « **Reply #103 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:39:55 PM »

The salad bar portion is very limited compared to the Emerald Queen buffet in Fife, where Sandy and I go to lunch.

If you like fresh cracked crab it is great, but I am not much of a fan of crab.

TCB · « **Reply #105 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:41:08 PM »

Especially when you have to crack your own crab.

TCB · « **Reply #106 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:42:40 PM »

The rest of the lunch was just okay.

TCB · « **Reply #107 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:43:59 PM »

I should have had them make me some fettucine with chicken from the pasta bar, but I was lazy.

TCB · « **Reply #108 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:45:54 PM »

Also, Thursday is their picnic buffet, so there was lots of baked beans, many types of chicken, and French fries.

TCB · « **Reply #109 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:47:15 PM »

But I got plenty to eat, and I skipped the dessert area.

TCB · « **Reply #110 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:48:01 PM »

They have a nicer restaurant, but it doesn't open until three o'clock.

TCB · « **Reply #111 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:48:45 PM »

Eating at that restaurant means you leave right in the middle of rush hour.

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:50:12 PM »

But next time I will wait until the other restaurant opens because the buffet has really gotten boring.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:51:43 PM »

After lunch, we returned to the slot machines.

TCB · « **Reply #114 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:53:34 PM »

I had a lucky spin that gave me $350.00, so it was time to leave.

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** April 13, 2017, 10:54:47 PM »

And amazing enough, it didn't rain the whole way home.

TCB · « **Reply #116 on:** April 13, 2017, 11:06:20 PM »

When I got home, I found an e-mail from a good friend and former boss at Children's Services.

TCB · « **Reply #117 on:** April 13, 2017, 11:08:49 PM »

Her partner of over thirty years, and one of my first supervisors with the State died Monday.

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** April 13, 2017, 11:10:04 PM »

He passed away from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis which he had been suffering from for the past seven years.

Page four? Really? I'm taking a shower and hopefully when I return to the computer we will have had a frenzy or nine.
