But FIRST ... I nice reader sent a message that my coffee was still at Amazon.com. I checked that out before, but the prices were crazy, from $9.00 a can up to $18.00. That's a little too pricey, even if I do love the stuff. He found four cans for $4.60 each, and I got free shipping. It would only let me buy four, but that's okay. I'll do the same again tomorrow!!! YAY ... another month of coffee!!
Since it was the first Bingo of the month last night, we were bombarded with people who had just gotten their retirement/welfare/subsidy checks, along with their paychecks!! That makes it pretty crazy at the cash register. For a solid two hours we checked people in and sold Bingo cards. With over 150 people, they were sitting on the floors waiting for the action to begin.
The average player buys $50 worth of games with a chance to win $250 for each one, 22 games in all. We only use the best callers with a crowd like this because they can get REALLY rowdy if you make a mistake!! Believe me, there's nothing like an angry Bingo player!!!
I work Bingo with a very nice gentleman who sits and talks to me late in the games. He wants to get an RV and hit the road. Says all his best memories are of traveling with the family in a travel trailer. I have to admit some of my fondest memories were of us all piling into the car with an old Army canvas tent in the trunk. We would drive up to Yosemite, find a wide spot in the valley next to the river and set up camp. It was always fun to touch the tent roof in the rain. Everywhere you touched your finger, water would start to drip down over "someone's" bed. That was when I sliced my finger open with my new pocket knife while fishing. Okay, maybe ALL the memories aren't so good!!
Anyway, we talked about different types of RV's. His wife doesn't even want to camp out in their mansion up at Bass Lake, so I doubt the idea is going to fly. Apparently when he brought the subject up, she said "You don't have a place to park it!!" So he promptly called a contractor to build him a 50 x 100 foot building. DARN!!! All the good ones are married!!!
I have lots of appointments the rest of the week, from haircut to dentist to lunches and one big charity dinner on Friday. I'll have to break out my checkbook for that one. On one side is the dessert auction, on the other is donated items ... always really nice things, like a week in a condo on the coast. The Elks buy tickets for a couple of tables, along with a dessert or two. There's nothing like eating a piece of $200 chocolate cake!!
I'm on a cleaning/donating binge ... trying to get rid of all the junk in case I decide to move ... and I hear things calling my name. Time to clean out some more trash, hopefully someone ELSE'S treasures!!
