A taste of home

We noticed a new restaurant in Titusville and with a name like Orleans By The River we knew we just had to give it a try. The bad news - it was nothing like the food back home, the good news - it was really great Louisiana Cajun cooking.

And speaking of good news, bad news, I only won $12 on the Powerball lottery but the big jackpot was not won so I bought another try for tonight. They expect the jackpot to be near 1 billion dollars!!

I'm on a roll!

I started my day yesterday by winning $1 playing Bunko. Granted, that's not a lot even in U.S. funds but it only costs 50 cents to play so I figure any time you can double your money and have fun doing it is a good thing.

Then I went to BINGO and my $10 dollar card won me $50 - getting better, right?

Trouble was I was running out of things to play, so I went out and bought a PowerBall ticket for tonight- the jackpot is $450 million! Wish me luck!!!

Not Olivier's $250 win but not bad anyway!

Happy New Year

Joanne, Guy and their friend Linda arrived just in time to help us celebrate New Year's Eve.
I may be feeling the effects of those margaritas today ( they were on happy hour special and they made me drink two!) but lucky me - Joanne is making supper tonight.

Trying to fulfill our promise to have a drink for the folks back home

Cheers everyone

Maybe a bit too much celebrating!
