Off to Riverton

First of all, the eye exam yesterday revealed, or I should say, confirmed, that my right eye has an "eye floater". The Doctor did a thorough examination - including pictures - and showed me where and how the problem occurred. It appears that I will always have this occurring in my right eye but he indicated that the brain learns to live with it and the floater will become non-obtrusive over time, except for when I look into a bright background. Aging is not fun.

We are happy to see the weekend  arrive and are getting ready to leave for Riverton, WY. Of course, the main attraction there is the only "real" Casino in Wyoming. The employee program for discount rates makes a huge difference in our room costs for the trip. We will be staying at the Holiday Inn Conference Center there which is another hotel owned by the Blairs - our employers - and we get the room for $39. The normal rate is $130 per night for our type of room. Not a bad deal. Karen and George are also taking the trip with us and it was a last minute challenge to get them a reservation. They had the additional problem of getting a baby sitter for their little dog, which they accomplished.

Our plan is to leave here around 10 AM since the drive is only 2 1/2 hours to Riverton. That gives us time to visit other attractions in the town and spend a leisurely evening - like maybe at the slots?? Until tomorrow...
