This and That!

Today was a fun day. We went to Newport with my brother and his wife and just walked on the harbor. We went to the fish market and ate some fresh salmon and just enjoyed the sunshine and salty air. Tonight I went w/mom, marge, dad and Jay to the Chinook Winds casino. I am not a gambler, I just like to watch. My mom and my aunt gave me 20.00 to play with. I played all nite. I won some bonus rounds and had a great time. I was shocked when they told me it was 11pm and time to go home. I couldn't believe I had lasted that long. Usually I am good for about an hour w/all the smoke and such. It was such a GREAT time. I loved it.

I talked with Mike today, it wasn't a great conversation and I knew something was wrong. I called back the nurse. She told me that he broke a mirror in his room yesterday so he could cut on his hands. It took them all day to figure out what was going on. They have since gotten all the glass removed and he is under their watchful eye again. I just wish/pray/hope that his OCD would settle down. He's really having a hard time right now. We need Jesus so much right now.

Tomorrow Jay and Kari fly back to Minnesota. My mom has been sick this whole trip and has barely left the house. Our house is huge. Its 3 levels, it has 5 bathrooms and 6 full bedrooms. There is a game room, a media room, a kitchen that seats over 20. There is a gas fireplace and all the furnishings are from either IKEA, Pier One or Pottery Barn. There was nothing spared. Its been such a lovely time of relaxing and being spoiled. I hope my mom will feel up to going to the outlet mall tomorrow. its just 2 blocks from our house. In the morning we are going to collect shells at the beach and take some pictures.

I am missing my dogs and my friends, but I am very relaxed and so grateful to be here. I have a wonderful family and friends in a gorgeous part of Oregon with the ocean just outside to keep me entertained.
