Pat contemplating that 21 on the cake, originally uploaded by DianthusMoon.

I hitched a ride-lol-with my mom and brother on Sunday to wish my second nephew a happy 21st birthday. Poor mom had to sit in the jump seat of his truck because he said I wouldn’t fit-nice. We could have taken my van. It was nice to see everyone! Brian and Sean went to his dad’s house to run errands for him.
On the way home, on the spur of the moment, we stopped at Harrah’s*Casino in Chester, PA. I mentioned maybe going to see the lead singer from Styx there, Dennis*DeYoung a few months back-but we didn’t see him. My brother gave me a few $20s and I gingerly put one in a machine-when it got down to $14.75 we moved on. The next machine was a nickel machine on the end-with a patriotic theme. Don swears they are lucky. Well I hit the button maybe 3-4 times and viola-the counter started adding up my winnings-$110! I think I only spent $6-7. I gave my brother back his money. Mom broke even as did he. I went in the gift shop and bought a neat ladies style Phillies shirt in a burgundy color and also bought Sean a globe key ring. How cool was that?
