Today enjoyed a day at the silver reef with over 200 ladies. Such fun

This morning woke up to light shining in the window.  But wind was blowing and the rain was coming down again.  Such a lovely day to stay inside and enjoy a day playing with other ladies.

The night before we played a few games at the casino and I learned a little about black jack.  Bidding only three dollars at the time.  Winn a few hands and loose a few hands.  Allot of giggling in between.  We had a good night.

So this morning up and moving.  Getting dressed in a fancy dress.  One layer then another and then another.  The dress looked good but why did ladies wear so much clothing.  One layer after another.  Gosh it was just a little bit warm.  No did not get a picture of the outfit though.  Was having too much fun looking around and talking to other ladies.  Well you know me not much talking but allot of watching.  Which is what I do most of the time.  Not antisocial just more of an observer then a participater.  

Well got down to ballroom early.  Gave the quilt I made to Lynette and the stood in line and to sign in.  Then it was wait a little while before the door opens.  Vendors are not ready yet but every time the door opens for someone coming in and out we all get excited that it is time.  No not yet a few more minutes to wait.


Yippee doors open and in we go.vendors to the right and tables over to left. Okay we're is my table.  Oh boy I am up near the front.  Buy ticket early get a pretty good seat.  Like that.  Two ladies are sitting there already.  From a langley group.  Well close to home with these ladies.

Look at that room.  Just set up so pretty.  Gonna have a great time today.  I head over to vendor area.  Oooo bling yes love bling, oooo hats I could always use another hat.  Oh my they are just Georgious..  Can I buy any.  I really would love to have one or two or maybe three..  Oooops look at the price.  I'm no only brought so much money in with me.  Well I could run up to the room and get some more.  No be good.  Hubby might be up there and wonder what I am doing.  He will say you oreads have enough.  But they are so pretty I would love to have one.  No be good.

Ladies it is time to start all please take you seats.  Okay I can stop debating about what I would love to buy. Food is being set out.  Oh it looks so delish.  Ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, string beans and salad.  Oh yeah and pumpkin pie for desert.  Just yummy.  Table by table we line up for the buffet. Boy soo good.

The table looked so great all decorated up.
The buffet line.  Caught Bev heading through.
After the buffet was finished prizes were given out.  Aw!! Didn't win anything.  Too bad.

So now it is time to wear off some of those calories.  Dancing the day away.  Great band that play Neil diamond songs.  Very upbeat and dancing music.  I sashayed over to the vendor again.  I would really love that or this or maybe that.  Umm no not enough money along with me.  Oh well go home empty handed. Do I really need it.  Well not not need. But would love to have.

Music is now over and time to sit down and relax again.  More prizes given out.  My number is still not called.  Oh well.  I was heading for home so we're not able to use any of the gifts they were giving out last.  Vouchers for the spa or for the casino.

Well the fun is over and time to head for home.  I had to pay a little more for my room because I checked out late.  All I wanted to do was change my clothes before I left and they charged me extra do a late checkout.  I guess I tried explaining but they said no. Well we were going to stay for a little while longer and play a couple more games and have something to eat.  But guess that was not in the cards now.  Well they lost a little business today.  I know will not hurt their bottom line but it made a customer not too happy.

Packed up the car and headed for home..  Border crossing took us and hour to get through but finally made it through.  Cars zigzagging back and forth hoping to get ahead of other cars.  We got home around 7 and then ordered pizza as I didn't feel like cooking after that drive.

Oh here is one more great picture I took today
Three lovely ladies.  Norma, jean and Pricilla
