catchup post

Good afternoon.
Well, I'm writing this post from my new puter.
I have a windows 7 puter and Microsoft is ending support for it in January. So, I've spent a good deal of the last several days, looking at new systems, since they are forcing me to upgrade to windows 10.
And since my other puter wasn't sufficient to run Windows 10, I was forced to buy a new one.
So I think I got a better one that my current one, and now I'm learning the ins and outs of the new operating system. And I think it's going to take some time.
Anyway, I made another batch of breakfast muffins late last week.
They were delish as usual.
Then, this month, we have free slot play for Aliante, our local neighborhood Casino and Craig got lucky and turned it into $50!
The casino, from time to time, will mail out promotions to card members. This is what we got this month....
I only got $20, and Craig got $30 in free slot play. Then, you can only use them on certain days. I basically get $5 a week, and Craig gets $5 every 4-5 days. And since we drive right by the casino nearly every day, it's easy to swing in there, spend the $5, and leave. Of course, the idea is that you'll go in, spend their money, and then some of yours. But we don't do that. Most of the time, we leave up a couple of dollars, or we break even.
And here's my latest puzzle....
And this little guy was on our garage this morning when I went out for my walk....
Now, I'm off to Taco Tuesday to meet around 9 of my neighbors for food and Margaritas!

    Nice puzzle, too!
    Good that you can play just a little and then leave.
    Windows 10 is a pain. I don't like it, but it's a necessary evil. Good luck!
