Just got back from my trip to Reno yesterday. I had a really fun time, but it was crazy too. I'm just so happy that I was able to go to my niece's wedding. It was very beautiful and she had it in a park. We had to wait for the preacher and he didn't come, so someone else did the vows for them and then later when the preacher finally showed up, he made it official in another little ceremony. They had a very nice reception and their wedding cake was really yummy. It had real strawberries in the middle of the frosting. I love strawberries.
I'm surprised that everyone got along and it was such a nice day. My sister and I got there with just a little time to spare. We had a free room at a motel, so that was nice. Later that night, my sister and I went gambling with our niece. We stayed out a little late. My poor niece even walked home from the casino because she was tired and didn't want to gamble anymore. My sister just kept gambling and didn't care. Lucky my niece didn't live far and she works at the casino we played at for hours. I had a good time and I was actually winning for a while and then of course, I threw it all back. I always do.
The next day we got up late and we went to Virginia City with the niece who got married. We went with her and her two little boys. That was a fun day, but the town closed early and we had gotten there late. So we missed a lot of stuff. It was still fun and nice to see all the stuff we did see. I went in some shop that had all kinds of old stuff from the past. I loved it because it reminded me of when I was a kid. I even found some candy in a candy shop that I haven't seen for years. There was a mansion there and it looked like it was about as big as my one sisters house. She thinks her house is small and that was a mansion back in those days. Most people probably lived in one room houses and tents.
The next day we were there both my niece's had to work and do other things, so my sister and I went to eat and gamble at The Atlantis. They have a really nice buffet and we played Deal Or No Deal on a big machine. It had a huge seat, so we could both sit at it and play. My sister played a Dirty Dancing machine. I've never seen those before. Then later we went out gambling with our other sister and the two nieces. There were a few fights, but I think we had a good time.
Then the next day we left town. My other sister came home with us. She had been staying there for about a month and she was ready to come home. I'm sure she enjoyed spending time with her kids and grandkids. I loved seeing all my nieces children. They are so cute. I think I got the flu or a cold or something. Now, I'm all stuffed up and I feel like crap. Anyway, we headed down the road and when we stopped in Winnemucca, my sister's van would not start. Thank God, it was only bad gas from the pump because she put in some gas treatment and it started again. We got to the gambling town that I play in all the time, just in time because my Mom had taken the bus there and it was almost leaving. She went and ate a buffet with us because we were starving and had hardly eaten all day. We gambled there for a little while and then all of us went home.
I had a really good time, but it was crazy as well. My sister and I fought more on this trip. I really don't understand how anyone can think Sam and Dean would never fight after spending all that time with each other. If I spent as much time with any of my sisters or brother the way Sam and Dean do, I'd end up killing one of them.
We'd probably come to blows and go our separate ways, quicker rather than later.
I saw a lot of crazy things and signs and stuff like that. I just wanted to sit and people watch in Reno. It's fun to see all the crazy people out there.
