Holy crap!

My mom just won a won a new car at the casino.

A black 2007 Corvette, no less.

I can't quit laughing, picturing Mom tooling around town in a 'Vette.

She's 75 years old.

Hold on, I'm still on the phone with her...

*****

She was still at the casino when she called, waiting for them to bring her the title and stuff. She can't take it home until she gets insurance, which will be on Tuesday since this is a holiday weekend.

I asked if she was gonna drive it home and she said, "Oh, no, I can't drive that thing!" I told her she ought to at least take it for a spin before she lets it go. We definitely need a picture of her sitting in it.

She said three people had already offered to buy it from her; she got their names and numbers but it sounds like my sister Margie and her husband want to buy it. She's gonna use the money to get herself a more sensible new car.

And her picture's gonna be on the casino's billboard out on the highway; we'll have to get a photo of that, too.

My sister Debbie and I haven't been too thrilled about Mom's casino habit, but I guess this will shut us up for awhile.
