Andrew's 21st Birthday Wish

Andrew just turned 21 and has been counting down the days for his birthday so he could go to Wendover with family and gamble.  I was invited to come along.  I've never gambled or sat at a casino table with chips in hand.  But, I wanted to add to Andrews birthday wish.  Jeff, Maria (Jeff's sister) and Andrew left in the morning to head to Wendover.  I drove out to Annie's and we left her house about 11:30 and headed to the Casino.  I had $50.00 to gamble with and when it was gone I would be done.  Our first stop was the roulette table.  I cased in my $50.00 for $5.00 chips.  I basically bet very conservative on either red or black and sometimes numbers.  I was pretty lucky and actually came out about $30.00 ahead.  From there we went to the Black Jack Table.  Jeff was on the end, then Lynda, me and Andrew.  I had no idea what I was doing but with Jeff's help Annie and I had a good time and actually came out ahead again.  I can easily see how people get the adrenalin rush when you win and you keep wanting to have that feeling.  But, Annie and I decided we would quit while we were ahead.  We gave our winnings to Andrew and we headed home.  It was a fun day and I was glad to be out there with Andrew.  What a great young man he is.  Love this boy so much.



Annie also invited us out to their home for a birthday dinner for Andrew.  Food was delicious and the games were, as always, very fun.


The cookie pizza birthday treat that Andrew requested.




Happy 21st birthday, Andrew Man!!!
