Rain ...and over the rainbow!

YUP!!!  We woke up to RAIN this morning.  Fortunately there is a restaurant at our hotel, so we unpacked our raincoats and headed out the door.  Our waitress was from Scotland.  We were greeted with "Hello, love!"  and "Would you like coffee, darling?"  And we learned that she came from Scotland 24 years ago for an 8 week vacation (and stayed), got married, divorced, and custody of the dog!  OK - a little too much information before my first cup of coffee!  But she's a hoot and makes absolutely everyone feel welcome.

We had to wait until 10:00 before the casino opened, but surprisingly (or not) by the time we got there people were already set up at the slot machines.  We are such gamblers  (NOT!) that we wandered around just looking at the different kinds of slot machines, trying to decide which ones would deliver our fortune!

Decisions, decisions!  But when we saw this, how could I possibly walk past the Wizard of Oz slot machine???  But this one was only a penny slot machine, certainly not a machine to deliver our fortune!

So we went to the nickel Wizard of Oz slot machines right next to the penny slots. OK - so we didn't make our fortune, but we (read that as Vaughn) made $67.  I only broke even.

If nothing else, it was entertaining to watch the Wicked Witch come through with her flying monkeys to grant 8 extra spins or Glenda the Good change a couple of the columns to WILD.  OK, so we are easily amused!  We left before we could do any more damage.  Scary that that single one hour was the highlight of the day.  But in spite of the rain and our small sum of winnings, we enjoyed our time together, as always.
