I Won, I Won, I Won

A couple of weeks ago I was talking to Gloria (Urs' sister) and I asked her if she was getting out to bingo. No, she said, she hadn't been in weeks. The lady who was going to drive her hasn't called. So I said, when Megan goes home, I'll take her to Bingo the next Monday. Meanwhile, she started getting a ride every Tuesday and Andy came to visit this weekend and took her to Bingo on Friday and to the movies. So to cap off a whirlwind weekend for Gloria, I showed up to take her to Bingo on Monday. She's always happy to go, but she did gently suggest that maybe I shouldn't buy three packets this time. Don't worry, I told her--I learned my lesson. I only bought in on the machine and brought my needlework. It was very pleasant and I was able to get a lot done on the needlework during the games since they only involved plugging in a number every couple of minutes. I didn't have to check cards, or make sure that I only dabbed the relevant squares or even pay attention at all. The machine started dancing during the Indian Star Bingo game and sure enough started singing to tell me that I had a bingo. Unfortunately I shared with someone, but $125 was still a pretty nice prize. Then a few games later, Gloria won all by herself on a $150 game. We are just so lucky.
