PICKLE BARREL

THIS OLD MINER STANDS GUARD OVER THE PICKLE BARREL IN THE LOBBY OF THE OATMAN HOTEL.

THE OATMAN HOTEL

I’VE BLOGGED ABOUT THE FAMOUS OATMAN HOTEL BEFORE.

 

MOST PICTURES ON MY BLOG AND ON THE INTERNET ARE OF THE BAR AND DINNING ROOM WHERE EVERY AVAILABLE SPACE IS COVERED WITH SIGNED DOLLAR BILLS.

RECENTLY THEY REOPENED THE SECOND FLOOR WHICH HAS BEEN ROPED OFF FOR YEARS. UPSTAIRS IS THE FAMOUS HONEYMOON SUITE OF CAROL LOMBARD AND CLARK GABBLE FROM MARCH 18, 1939.

OF COURSE NO TRIP TO OATMAN WOULD BE COMPLETE WITH A COLD BEER AT JUDY’S.

SCHATZE BLOG

IN A COMMENT ON THE SCHATZE BLOG BY UNCLE HANS, HE CHALLENGED AMY TO FIND A PICTURE OF HER DASHUND, NAMED SCHATZE:

This blog gets more meaning when you learn that Rex had a Dachshund named Shatze years ago. Now, I challenge Amy to find, scan, and post a blog picture of Shatze along with a little story. It was so many years ago, that she may need her Mom's help......
Hans

WELL, HERE YOU ARE:

Sorry this took so long to find for you.  Do you remember about a year and a half ago when I wiped out my terabyte hard drive with ALL the pictures on it??  Well this has got me started on a VERY LONG process of sorting ALL those files into folders by year.  After that I will have to sort by month and get things organized.  It will probably take FOREVER!!

Glad to have a reason to get started!

Amy

 

CHALLENGE COMPLETED !!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!



YESTERDAY WAS MY 66TH BIRTHDAY, AND LIKE 10,000 BABY BOOMERS PER DAY, I FILED FOR MY SOCIAL SECURITY AND RETIRED FROM MY CASINO JOB. YAHOO !!!

ACTUALLY I RETIRED ON JANUARY 1ST AND HAVE BEEN SPENDING MY TIME PLAYING NICKLE-DIME-QUARTER POKER THREE NIGHTS A WEEK WITH THE GUYS IN THE RV PARK, AND RIDING THE HELL OUT OF MY SCOOTER.

THE FIRST QUESTION I GET ABOUT MY RETIREMENT IS, WHAT ABOUT MARY? MARY IS STILL WORKING AT THE CASINO AND HAS 14 WEEKS UNTIL HER SUMMER “OFF” ON THE MOUNTAIN.



HEATHER, THANKS FOR THE NEW PACKERS HAT !!!
