Really missed Black Orchid, but got my first bingo, observed the progress on #18 (and the new Mesa practice area), returned to the Meadows Bar and Grill for an amazing apple pecan salad, hit all my favorites at the Minnehaha Cafe and had success on several other favorite slot machines. Thanks, Mystic!
