Mary has friends. Lots of them. She takes time to get together with them...which seems impossible since she has so darn many. Tonight, she made her way out to a little two day getaway with her long time pal, Jessie. She is one of the sweetest women to walk the Earth...so when she invited me to join them for dinner I could ONLY say YES! Their little road trip brought them to the Poconos for some casino and outlets time. It was kicked off with a dinner at The Buffet. Now two of us are counting some points so it was a perfect blend of moderation and intelligence with a little splurge for dessert. Nothing crazy (though I have yet to figure out my points!).
We laughed and ate shrimp. We giggled and had salads. We people watched over unsweetened iced teas. We shared stories over the best green beans ever. We made plans over the perfectly tiny bowl of soft serve ice cream complete with sprinkles. It was a lovely meal but it fed my soul way more than my tummy.
On the way back through the smoky casino (cough, cough) I found a penny heads up and then a quarter heads up and passed them both to the gambler. I already come out ahead for the night...hope she ends up the same!
