I met a friend yesterday.

      Polly looking her beautiful self 🤗❤️

We went to the Casino by ourselves last night, was a dinner out, and Polly loves to gamble, so we decided we could fit this in on a Wednesday, as our schedule is getting very busy this next couple week's.

We walked in no greeter/vaxchecker at the door, so right up to the restaurant and got asked there for our id and vax proof. After that getting seated, the waitress asked would here be good? I said, how about over there, overlooking the Casino? Yes she said, and we started walking. As we passed a couple sitting also overlooking the Casino, I noticed was a friend I worked with with his wife. We stopped for a short time, well I did as the waitress seated Polly, and I yaked, well it had been a long time since I had seen him, and so much to say, but dinner was our goal, so I said I'd catch up later, come and see him at home. 

As we sat within 10 feet or 3 meters away, I kept turning around and saying a few things, till I finally had to order, and we heard them get their desert, they had ate already, (Seniors deal on the dinner before 5:30pm) then I said, will talk later. We ordered dinner and water for drinks, we both been off the booze awhile now. 

As my friend was leaving he came to the table for a quick goodbye, mask on, & shook my hand. He thanked me for not mentioning his name in this blog, as I had written about him before, Anonymous is his way. We are very good friend's, and will stop and see him before we leave in January.

Our dinner was good, not stellar, will go on a weekend next time, better meal then I think. We talked about a picture our friend Claudette had found and put on our FB timeline, was in 1998, and we both were smiling, so happy, skinny, and younger. We talked about how happy we still are and many good times we had then up to now, the fun times, the love we share, as well as a few intimate times that still make us laugh, even if we be not likely to try that now 😆😂😂

We finished dinner, desert was advertised as chocolate covered brownie, the waitress asked if we minded chocolate moose as they have no brownie's. Of course, both are great 👍 moose with whipped cream on top, was delicious. 

We sat and talked some more, was a very relaxed dinner, but I knew Polly was ready for the gambling, so bill please, (Polly paid this time) 😀 we take the slip to the casino and get our $5 added to our gambling cards, then Polly starts, while I go talk with my friend, as his wife won so after their dinner she was back at it.

We stood and talked for at least 1/2 hour before I had to sit down, Polly passed by, I didn't notice, was busy talking. Once we sat down I started to gamble, not very lucky, but we continued to talk, so much to say, it had been awhile. I don't know how long it was, and I moved a few times, Polly came by and showed me her winning tickets, but my friends wife got to the end of her winning, so they said goodbye and off they went home. 

I kept loosing, Polly lost some of her winnings. I finally got off the machine, not my night, and found Polly, ready I say, and yes she was, still had some of her winnings good for her. We had a good night out, and Polly always thanks me for this kind of night out, she loves the gambling. 

As we leave Polly reminds me of my saying we would look at some of the lights tonight, so we drive around for awhile up and down the streets enjoying the beauty of the decorations and lights. Ohh look at that, oww Look here, look there, I like that one, WOW 😳 that's beautiful 😍. Was a nice way to finish our evening, so relaxed we were as many were rushing around, as we slowly cruised along pulling over so others could hurry by. Hmm, I laugh to myself now thinking of this time. 

As I write Polly and I plan our afternoon, I ask what about lunch, do we have plans tonight? Wanna go to the Barclay? Oh sure why not Polly says. Then she informed me she had really dry legs now as she was rubbing in some skin cream, then she says " My legs are so dry I think I'm going to have to vacuum them!" She starts laughing and so do I sure hard to be crabby with such a card I married. 

Love Polly I do. 

Our Life is so good ❤️🤗
