ladies night was a blast..bingo and then slot machines. I won back $60 of the $80 I put into the slots! I don't usually go to the casinos, but my sis and her gf have a once a month girl's night out date. We laughed so much.

At Bingo, they had these black boxes that had bingo cards loaded..and kept up with the balls drawn..and even let you know when u were waiting on the last number!!! Talk about easy..no real concentration needed. Us "gurls" just chatted and laughed throughout the bingo session. I could get up and stretch my legs as needed.

The night lights of Phoenix are amazing..the dessert has a life of its own. So different from the terrain of Oklahoma. The grocery stores here in high numbers are called Fry's...and they are everywhere. Yes, there are super walmarts, but Fry's is closer to the house.

I sleep when I want..get up when I want..a real vacation..and I do the same thing in my home in Oklahoma. The difference is that i am with sis and her family, on her turf..but, it just like being on my own turf in OK.Family does that for you..I am comforted as well as bringing comfort to my sis. Hubby is relaxing too.

We head back to OK this Friday. I am trying to pace myself as the thought of a 13 hr. drive makes me anxious.
