I am so amazed that we got out of the house on time early Thursday morning. We decided not take Hwy 20 up through Marysville/Yuba City. We took I-5 instead, faster but more mileage. Still took us over 4 hours. We arrived in Reno about Noon, checked into the Peppermill, nice nice rooms.
Then rushed over to the Atlantis to check-in and possibly make the meeting that afternoon.
When Ev woke up Thursday morning he thought he was coming down with a cold.. Sure enough! Poor thing he suffered the whole weekend!
We didn’t make it to the meeting on Thursday afternoon. We decided we needed to pick up a few things and have breakfasts in the room instead of eating out every meal. I heard later that the grand opening meeting was pretty disorganized, so we were grateful we did the shopping. After shopping we brought the stuff back to our room.. And thought it would be nice to go and sit down by the pool and kick back a bit.
After the pool we thought it would great to go to the Cal Neva for dinner with hopes we would see Larry & Lynn. We did go to dinner, but didn’t see our friends, Larry & Lynn..
Dinner wasn’t so good at the café.. 
oh well..
Went back to the room. I could tell Ev was feeling worse, so it was time.
Thursday Ev decided to stay in the room.. A good place for him, so he could rest and hopefully feel better.
Friday was a full day of meetings.. I headed over to the Atlantis to the meeting rooms.
Of course as I entered the meeting area there many familiar faces. Pam was saving us a place to sit in the huge meeting room.. that is pretty much where we spent most of our time over the next few days. Lynn could only make one meeting, and off they were to parts unknown..
Hello?? RENO?? Lynn and pai gow, dahhhh knew where she went!!.
Friday night Ev and I stayed in and ordered pizza. so we made it movie night.
Saturday Ev was a little better thought he would come to one of the meetings for the men.. He did.. but pretty much wore himself out.. We met up with Pam and her sis Bev for lunch. Soon after lunch Ev went back to the Peppermill to lay down or go to the pool..“Poor guy”?? Pool? Oh yeah right?.. Probably checking out all those “babes” or maybe it was just “babe”
hehehe
At any rate he was still not feeling well.
Saturday afternoon I received an award for “top sponsor”, got a certificate and a “tiara”..
When I got back to the room we had a drink and were trying to decided it we would go for dinner?? Decided to have some cheese and crackers some fruit and call it a night.
Sunday morning was the “Green Cap” ceremony (personal honors) for women that have done an outstanding job in their position as Senior Regents whom have met all the required paper work as well as making the Award of Achievement. There were several women receiving this honor. Pam Rowland our friend and co-worker at the lodge was receiving her “green cap” this morning.. Congrats to her!!
A very nice ceremony. I stayed long enough for her to get her award and took some pics then headed out.
Today is Sunday. Ev and I need to do some major shopping before heading back home. Costco and Cash & Carry..
I went back to the Peppermill, Ev wasn’t ready yet.. So played about $20 in the machine to make my “donation”.. In the meantime Ev soon was by my side and we thought we should have a bit to eat before hitting the road.. Again we went to the buffet.. OMG when she rang the amount we were both in shock!! nearly $50 for brunch.. turns out it is “Sunday Brunch” with champagne and all the crab/shrimp/oysters you could eat along with all the other food you could eat!! Ok so we indulged ourselves! uumm sooooooooooooo good!
Coconut Cream Pie..<<his favorite
Soon we were on the road.. Headed for the stores.. It was nearly 2pm when we finished and we were on the road home with a SUV full or food for the Moose..
We arrived at the lodge about 6 or so and thankfully they were still open so we could leave off all this food..
As it turns out, Ev really had a bad weekend.. Not only did he loose gambling, he was sick, he lost his prescription sunglasses and his Hawaii ball cap.. Not a good weekend for him…
