Wednesday - January 31 - The weather was nice today but the wind was a bit cool, still we can’t complain and Dave said he heard it is supposed to be in the 80’s next week.

I talked to my mom this morning and the retirement home where she lives has put everyone in quarantine because of the flu epidemic. I hope she doesn’t get the flu and that the quarantine doesn’t last too long as it wouldn’t be fun having to stay in the room all the time with no one able to visit or being able to go out.

Today we went to Cocopah Casino with Janet & Dave. Wednesdays are 55+ days and you get a coupon book with various coupons. We used the coupon to buy $10 in quarters and then got $5 in tokens. That was my spending money for the afternoon and I managed to amuse myself for a couple of hours on it but didn’t win anything. John put 25 cents in a machine and won about $10 so used that for spending money. Janet put 25 cents in a machine and won $45 and Dave was like me and enjoyed spending his money without winning anything! They had a buffet until 5 p.m. and one of the coupons was for $3 off the buffet so we ate for $4.75 each and it was very good. We also used the coupon for a 50 cent draft beer, so all in all it was a fun afternoon.

We checked out another golf course on the way home but the club house was closed so Dave is going to check it out. The couple behind us said this course has a special in the morning with 9 holes and breakfast or 9 and dine in the afternoon. It is a municipal course and looked quite nice so will see if we can get a tee time.

On the way home we stopped at Wal Mart briefly and that was it for today.
