The first time we asked Jeanette to go with us to the casino her response was "Are you crazy! Of course I will go with you." That was the beginning of many monthly visits. We had a pattern that she followed:
1. Mark casino day on the calendar
2. Tell her family she was unavailable on that day.
3. Pick her wardrobe
4. Count down the days
5. Set her alarm for 5 a.m. on casino morning
6. Be downstairs at the front door by 8 a.m.
7. Arrive at casino by 9 a.m.
8. Leave at 3 p.m.
9. Drop off at the front door with a wave and "See you next month" while we exchanged a bag of books.
We will miss her on our casino visits, but we know that wherever she is, she is playing the slots with a twinkle in her eye.
