Slept in until a bit after seven. Then we enjoyed a feast at Delores’s house for breakfast (Cinnamon Rolls; Bacon; Cheesy Eggs; Strawberries (w/Whip Cream); Avocado; Banana).

We spent midmorning sightseeing with Barbara and Cletis (aka Chuck – aka Devon). We explored Barbara’s old neighborhood; caught a glimpse of where they (Clete & Barb) were married 59 years ago; and visited the family burial plot.

Mountain View Memorial Park was patriotically decorated with ‘Old Glory’ for Memorial Day. We also drove by the Admire Beaux Arts Architecture at Union Station, Tacoma Dome, and the Puget Sound.

We ended up the day with visits to the Emerald Queen Casino. Paul and I played for over two hours and lost $32.00 between us. However, since we earned two $25.00 Dining Vouchers, we were actually $18.00 in the black.
