Day 30, Had a surprise visit from my brother Tony!!! He had day jumps to do with the Air Force so he was in town. Danny & I went to San Bernardino Hilton to pick him up. He was with nine other Air Force people and they went to San Manuel Casino. So, he asked if we would like to go hang out there for a bit. We said yes and off we went to play some slots. Danny got to watch the UFC fight and Tony and I went slot hopping. I got on one machine and after a few minutes I said I was not feeling it so I said lets switch machines and on the 2nd or 3rd spin he got the bonus. (15 free spins) and during the bonus it re-triggered 15 more spins! That's when the machine went crazy and he walked away with a little over 300.00!!! OMG! That was supposed to be my money. It was funny, well not that second but after a while it was. Just kidding I was happy for him. I won 141.00 dollars. Day 31 was Sunday and I remember that day very well. My Dad was down and a few family members got together and went to MiMi's in Tustin. My Grandma was there and she's still as beautiful as I remember. We took lots of pics and had lots of laughs! When we left MiMi's we planned to go to Carmen's for dinner and she made chicken and mole and she asked if I could make potato salad. My Dad & Uncle & too cute Sofia came over to see Carmen's new home and dinner was excellent. But, before all this we went to my other Grandma's (Grandma Bea) and visited with her. Well, here's the story of my "lil" Shirley Temple doll. When I was around 12 or 13 my mom and I went Christmas shopping and this lady had like a boutique in her home. Well, being that Grandma Bea collects dolls I spotted this Shirley Temple doll. Grandma Bea has a lot of dolls and a lot of really old Shirley Temple dolls. Well back towards the kitchen of this lady's home I see this "lil" doll under a glass dome. It's Shirley Temple!!! I got my mom's attention and pulled her to the back of the house and said Grandma Bea would love this! My mom agreed and bought it. We were right she adored this "lil" S.T. doll. So, Grandma Bea always knew over the years that this was a very special doll even more special after my mom passed away. She always said that one day when she was ready she would let me have that "lil" girl cause she knew what it meant to me. Drum roll please...............SHE GAVE HER TO ME SUNDAY!!!!! She said she'd rather give her to me while she was still alive. Oh my gosh, anyone reading this needs to understand how huge of a thing this is for me. AMAZING isn't even a word to begin. I'm so happy! Really, really really happy. Shirley is about an inch and a half tall. (tiny). I am Blessed! Day 32, went to Senior Center and then left early to pick up my nephew at preschool. Then went to pick up other nephew at 2:00p.m. and then off to Dr.s appt. with my Ma-n-law. She had an Orthopedic appt. to check her foot. All is well and no more cast and in about 3 weeks, she's tip top shape again! My wonderful son watched the kids while I took my ma-n-law to the Doctors. He's a good kid<3 Whew.....now I'm caught up and here's a pic a my special "lil" doll, enjoy! peace out, Tina
