Target. Zip-lock omelets, Trip to Michaels, Chili Reyano, and more Gambling...

Sunday morning we were up and left the house fairly early, (considering our late hours...) my sister and I dropped off Mom (so she could have HER COFFEE) at our co-host's home, while she and I made a quick trip to Target.  My sister lent me her torquoise hoody she bought there, and I wanted to get one.  We found the hoodies, which luckily were on sale!  We each purchased a navy blue one also.

My sister found some glass lanterns in the dollar bins (buying extra for the other crafty gals), with visions of creativity in mind. We made our purchases and were in and out and on our way back to meet up with the girls.  Our breakfast was our co-hot's famous zip lock omelets.  We put our eggs in a zip lock baggie, shake it up, put all our ingredients in the baggie, squeeze out the extra air, and boil.  Voila!  They were yummy!

Mom, me, my sister and our cooking co-host..

(That's watermelon my sis is forking into her mouth,

and our zip lock omelets on the plate...)

Right after breakfast, we were back to our computer fest...my sister was still working on retrieving all her photos and music.  Everyone had a project and would share and keep working...

After awhile, we needed a break so we decided a trip down to Michael's Craft Store was in order...

My red headed girlfriend from California

 perusing craft magazines...

always on the prowl to learn and teach...

Our creative co-host selecting items

for one of her many, many projects...(this gal is amazing!)

My sister and Mom in the 50 cent and dollar bins...

we LOVE those bargains!!

Did I show you the little candy treat

my sister made as a "Thank You" gift

for our co-host and I?

(Yes, she is my talented sister :}  )

Cheery flowers in the flower section, that caught my eye...

Random silliness...typical of our co-host and dear friend...

End results of our trip to Michael's and another trip to Target...

All invigorated with our heads popping and exploding wth ideas and shared creative thoughts, we all dove back into our lap tops, buzzing with excitement, laughing at wise cracks and of course, grazing on more food...

My co-host, is famous for the DVD videos she creates (and whips out at lightning speed)...showed us the one she did on her daughter's recent wedding...the music and photos are always perfect,

which always pull at your heart strings..(sniff, sniff)

Her daughter is so beautiful...

Since they were all leaving tomorrow morning, Mom made sure my sister and I knew she needed

some more time on the machines...

(we, being dutiful daughters of exceptional devotion, were willing to make the supreme sacrifice for her gambling pleasures...)

We had all planned to go out to dinner, but our co-host whipped up a fantastic Taco Salad and Chili Rellenos that knocked our socks off!!  D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!

When everything was tidied up, Mom, my sister and I left for Green Valley Ranch Casino to satisfy Mom's lust for living and squeezing out every last ounce of energy we had left...

We all three played the same machines, with Mom's money, (because we lost all our's) 

and while laughing ourselves silly,

Mom won AGAIN!!!!

I think we got home around 2am...dragging Mom (who let me remind everyone is 82)

 and who SHOULD have been more tired than we were,

had a mantra of "Oh, this machine looks fun..."

My sister and I had been talking all weekend

of just sitting in my jacuzzi, relaxing with some wine, and talking...

FAT CHANCE that was going to happen!

Mom pulled the coup de gras, when we were on either side of her,

just about to finally usher her out the door...

"Oh Look!  a John Wayne machine! 

we HAVE to play that one for your Father..."

My sister and I look at one another incredulously, and say in unison,

"I can't believe you are playing the DAD CARD!!"

We ended up playing it and having the most fun of the night...

we laughed until we were wheezing!
