Spades tournament...

I did it, I am finally a winner! We are fortunate that during our time off there are Recreation Centers available for soldiers and civilians to wind down. Everyone works different shifts so the Recreation Centers stay open 24/7. Bryan and I won the spades tournament the other night! We outplayed some really good players - who play as teams all the time. We "set" the last team three times, which means we won. We didn't even know we won! So for the week, we are champions, that is until we play next week, that is if we get a chance to! And before we won in spades, I won in BINGO, "postage stamp" game! I guess it was my lucky night. Mike and Gary missed it all, they were taking care of family stuff, and working late. I am glad I don't have family to worry about while I am here. I am thankful that my dad is recovering, and Skip and Scout are safe and sound.
