"An Early Christmas Present"

My name was drawn for this Apple I Pad at the casino. Nice Christmas present. 11-30-2019 Perryton, TX

I lucked out yesterday at the Golden Mesa Casino and had my name drawn for an Apple I pad. I'll be in another learning session now forever. I don't catch on to this new technology quickly. However, I will have a good instructor whenever he can manage to come and teach me from Sherman, Texas. My son, Kent, is ready to load my brain with impossible knowledge of working the latest of instruments of technology. I want to know how, but I don't have the patience to learn. He thinks I won't have any trouble so I believe him. I sometimes wonder if I will be on this planet long enough to take a trip to the moon. Things keeps changing faster than my age. I don't have much trouble learning how to put bills into the slot machines, but I can't figure out how to get them back. However, I did bring home more money yesterday than I took, plus a $300 I Pad. Myself, and my daughter, and son-in-law had the time of our life. We are ready to do it again, but it won't be possible till next spring. Our daily duties still come first.

I just saw my children off a few hours ago. They are traveling home at this time. I am feeling a little lonely, but still am excited about the good Thanksgiving I had with them. The weather was pleasant most of the time. These kids even raked, and sacked five large bags of leaves from my yard. I'm so thankful for that since I cannot do much muscle work any more. In a little over two weeks I will be heading to my son's house in Sherman, Texas for the Christmas holidays. I am excited about this part of my good year of 2019. God has been so good to me, and I can't thank Him enough. I will be welcoming the New Year with a planned over night stay at the Lucky Star Casino in Clinton, Oklahoma. I have celebrated at this place several times, and it is always a fun time to welcome the New Year. I meet several of my long time friends there which is always enjoyable. New Year's Day I will be headed home to start another good year. I hope it will even be better than the past year. Every year that has passed since my husband's death has been better than the last. The healing has been slow, but sure. On January 19, 2020 it will have been seven years since he left us. Although I see him in my dreams real often. I try hard to not think about the many years we had together, but that is an impossible wish. I am living with the one-half of the One, God made us into at the marriage ceremony. I still have the one-half of each of his children, and that makes up the whole. How could anyone wish for more than that?

God Bless
