BINGO

Friday evening Justin and I played BINGO. We dropped Amelia off at daycare for an hour, the workers were leaving when we finally arrived because Amelia was the only kid who signed up to come play. Good thing we arrived when we did!! Amelia had a face of complete horror as we drove off...goodness I hate leaving her.

Now, why were we playing BINGO? Justin's work hosted a gaming party for all the new employees joining Cabela's in the past 12 months. The party was at the local Elk's club, complete with a huge elk's head on the wall. I wonder if all Elk's clubs have to have an Elk on the wall?? Upstairs the serious gamers smoked, drank, and played Texas Hold 'Em. The rest of us played BINGO. Along the sideboard were snacky-snacks to munch on. The spicy chicken wings were actually pretty good.

We played about 15 games of BINGO. I never knew there were so many different versions of BINGO. Wonders of all wonders I actually won two games in a row! I one a version where you have to configure a "C" around the edges of the card and then a game of blackout. I won a $25 gift certificate...to CABELA'S and a pop gun decorated in pink ammo. It was fun.

Amelia had the two daycare worker's wrapped around her little finger. She was bossing them around telling them to go here and there, read this book, and play that game. They were impressed with her extended vocabulary. She is pretty amazing.

Yesterday the weather was a balmy 48 degrees. It felt like summer when the wind was not blowing. We looked at a couple more homes with a real estate agent in the morning. Justin worked most of the morning and afternoon so Amelia and I enjoyed an hour at the park and walked around the little pond. She was pretty crabby after her nap so we walked to the railroad tracks and caught a train speeding by. She sure loves those trains now. The best part of our day was when Alison dropped off a hot loaf of wheat bread. It smelled divine!! We piled into the car and made a 10 minute trip to Walmart to get a new wireless router. I am so happy that our internet works great now. No more spotty coverage...and I don't have to sit on the floor with the laptop next to the bathroom.
