Three Beautiful Things 10/13/2021: On the Road to Pendleton, Beer and Appetizers, Nightcap

 1. Ed picked me at 6:30 this morning and we blasted out to Jake's Rose Lake home, piled into Jake's truck, and took off for Pendleton for a two night stay at the Wildhorse Casino. We stopped at the Breakfast Nook in CdA, enjoyed a splendid breakfast, and arrived at our destination around noon. Mike and Terry had arrived and they headed off to the golf course. Ed, Jake, and I put our things in our respective rooms and met up at the mini bar on the main floor, enjoyed a beer, and headed out to play some games on the casino floor.

2. I quit playing after a while and spent a few hours in my room writing and napping. Late in the afternoon, having finished golfing, Terry and Mike met up with Ed, Jake, and me in the mini bar for another beer and we decided to go to the sports bar and eat half price appetizers for dinner. The food was terrific and the buzz of conversation and picking on each other was a blast.

3. We ended our evening in Ed's room for a round of caramel toasted Black Velvet whiskey. We told each other about our successes and failures over the course of the day and had a fun time relaxing and making each other laugh. We have great plans for Thursday. We'll go to Meacham for breakfast. I'll see Colette in the afternoon. Terry, Mike, and Jake will golf. We'll have a fancy dinner in the Plateau Steakhouse at 6:30.
