Update: March 6th, 2016.
After a very very long year of learning to live a new life with my most recent handicap. I am getting movement in my arm!! :) It started the end of August and has been progressing, slowly. My issues with paranioia and depression are also getting better. I am confident that things will continue to progress. However, loosing a whole YEAR of my life is devastating to say the least. However, keeping a positive attitude for the most part has been a huge challenge, but I do it. I am grateful to all my family and friends that have been so encouraging and helpful. Thank you..

Reno Bound 1/23/13

WOW it is already Wednesday! And we are headed to Reno!
Originally Lynn Ringuette and I were going to Reno for a couple of days. Then when my brother Rick & Lynn were coming down, we all planned to go. Lynn (my sister in law) with my friend Lynn would ride up in one car and stay in one room (Lynn my friend got comp’d rooms) and then Rick & Ev stay in another room. They were gonna get up early on Thursday and head up to ski. Good plan..
As we were driving up to Reno we decided to stop in Truckee for lunch at a little Mexican place.. Ended up Rick & Ev got to eat lunch with us too. They took a different route than we did..
We got to Reno about 3ish and Lynn R. headed straight to the Pai Gow table..GREENSMILESSS I made arrangements to meet up with our friends Mike & Maryann for dinner. They wanted us to come by their place for drinks then go to dinner at the Eldorado (right next to where we were staying at the Calneva). Lynn R. joined us for dinner. Had a nice buffet at the Eldorado. Good visit..
My camera this last week wasn’t working very good this last week! Hopefully I got it figured out..

Rick and Lynn visit 051
Thursday morning Rick & Ev headed to the slopes bright and early. Got a call from them about 9am and they were headed back to Reno.. Apparently, it was raining at Northstar and it wasn’t cold and the price of a lift ticket was $100 plus.. so they decided not to pay that price to ski in the rain all day.. Don’t blame them a bit.. Lynn R was up and gone each morning before 7am for her Pai Gow.. Girl is nuts for that game! smileys
The guys got back from their morning ride up the mountain and wanted to go up to Virginia City.. Sounded fun to us!
We had such a fun time! We did lots of site seeing, did a lot of bar hopping.. lots of bars!! smileys
Met this little lady from Canada, Lillian.. She was traveling with a group of people on a bus. They were headed to Vegas and Laughlin.. She didn’t really know how to use her camera phone so gave her some lessons, hopefully she remembered.. She was so sweet..smileys

We continued bar hopping and playing a little here and there.. Weather was cooperative, a few showers here and there..


We are meeting Lynn R for dinner so we started back to Reno.. We stopped by Cold Water Creek where I bought a coat.. nice jacket..  Then we stopped at the Peppermill for about an hour and then back to the Calneva for dinner with Lynn R.
We ate in the steak house at the Calneva. Lynn R had comps in excess of $100!! GREENSMILESSS Of course we all had steak of some kind and some different sides and some wine.. The bill wasn’t much over that $100.. GREENSMILESSS Good dinner.. I retired early.. I was soooo tired.. They all stayed out and partied till 11pm plus!
Thank you Lynn for treating us to a great dinner! And a really good time! No one won any money on this trip.. We all made a donation… So next month Ev and I will go up and visit our money..and see Mike & Maryann..
Friday was going home day. Rick & Lynn left about 9ish and were head home by way of Lincoln City, OR (didn’t loose enough money in Reno?) and to Chinock Casino..But?? Rick won and won most of all the money he lost in Reno.. aaww relief…GREENSMILESSS
We left Reno after breakfast, about 1030..

We arrived at home about 4ish on Friday.. Rick & Lynn got home Saturday late afternoon.. GREENSMILESSS
