Wednesday in Florida

BINGO! That is what I have played the last 2 nights in Florida. Mom is a BINGO fanatic and loves the organized events in the mobile home parks. We played Monday night in the neighboring park and did not have any luck but last night in her park I was able to claim a BINGO worth $22. The (mostly) ladies are all very astute at watching and listening and I felt like a real novice. They play several games on the same card starting with a regular BINGO then different configurations such as a hot dog, double postage stamps, and flags and finish with a cover all. I won on a love letter BINGO, which consist of all of the B's and all of the bottom numbers plus the upper two number in G and O. I guess it was a hard one because the with the next number called someone had a cover all. Lucky for me the last number they needed was a B or they would have won both games with one letter.

Today we visited the local flea market. This is a hugh affair in many Florida cities now. There are venders of all kinds and a large farmers market too. It would be easy to spend the better part of a day here but we limited our shopping to a couple of hours and even at that mom had to wait Dad and I out in the car. Then swimming and hitting golfs. Quite a day.
