Home From Hays

We are home now, and Dorrie is now in her furever home. She made herself at home right away, and she and Juneau are getting along just fine, which is exactly what we were hoping for.

I am a bit anal at times, and I like to do things in chronological order, so before I get to Dorrie, and you KNOW I WILL, I am going to share some of our other Hays adventures first. Dorrie Day wasn’t until late Saturday evening, so we had all kinds of adventures before picking her up.

We pulled into to Hays about 5:15 PM, just in time for a quick dinner, that Larry’s mom Ollie had already made for us, and then it was off to BINGO. Ollie plays BINGO all the time, and despite being 94 years young, she is still the BINGO Queen. She plays about 2-3 times per week, and Friday nights are ALWAYS BINGO nights. It was Ollie, Larry, our nephew Philip and myself at the BINGO hall this time.

They all take BINGO very seriously in these parts, especially Ollie and the Billinger Family.

Tonight, I actually won for a change.

Philip won as well.

Between us, we won $93. Ollie has a rule, which is a very good one, that whoever plays together with the family shares all the winnings. So we each walked out with about $23 more than what we came in with. WHOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!

I think we played about 12 rounds of different kinds of BINGO, so it was an all night event. After BINGO, we sat and visited with Ollie for a while before bedtime.

I do my best to make everyday fun, which also makes everyday great. Stay tuned, I have lots more fun and adventures to share, and then ….. Dorrie Day!!!!! Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.

  1. Hi Jeanne – Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉🍾 on your new family member! She is beautiful! There is a typo in your post, “and Vinnie”. I know you miss him and must’ve been thinking of him, so I am sending you hugs.
