The Mill Casino is located in Coos Bay where Pat and I use our points and reserve a room on the second floor facing the river. We stay in the older section, even though we have access to the new tower with it's ninety two rooms. Here we are familiar so we can open the window for fresh air and enjoy the sights and sounds as a huge boat goes by or the wind blows hard and the flags on the poles stand out straight. We find this inexpensive, fifty-five dollar room, (for two nights) furnished with comfortable beds; headboards made of tree limbs and the usual hotel chair and table, a small desk, a large TV within a cupboard, a lovely bath room with plenty of hot water and a supply of coffee and tea bags to use at our convenience. Not a bad place for a two day vacation to catch up on doctor appointments, shopping at the small mall or visiting antique shops and book stores.
We rode up the highway on a gray day, showers in and out but really not at all bad as we gave Pat's new ride a spin. A Honda Civic, battleship gray (I think that is what she said) rides smooth as silk and plays the same great music the little RAV did. We miss Ms.Blue, but it was time for her to go and now we have to break in "Gracie III" and will have to come up with some new ideas of where to go.
The pictures give you an idea of the Indian theme. Those outside posts are humongous. The walkway is a great exercise place and the windows are the dining area where we usually go for the early bird special . . . salmon, baked potatoe, salad, and this time an orange sponge cake to die for. One of the pictures with the fence posts should show a picture of a man walking on the water; no kidding; I have no idea how he was doing it, but moved like someone on snow skies. This person has come up with some clever way of moving on top of the water. We were fanscinated. I tried twice to get a picture but he was way off near the Islands.
The female pidgeon was fluffing her feathers and the males were trying hard to attract or attack her. The one closer almost got her but she managed to fluff him off. . . just like a woman, ha...ha.
He wasn't taking no for an answer and she wasn't saying yes . . . want to take a bet that lone ranger on the back side moved fast...
We played "The Wizard of Oz" game and had a ball. It really is fun to play. I didn't win any big jackpots but I did come home with almost all the money I took with me. So I'd say I'm a winner.
With or without a big win, I'd say with a family and friends like you, I certainly am a big winner.
NICE!
